Lyrics
Now light the fire, blow the trumpets
Initiating a call to action, urging to start a conflict
The signal fire calling us to war
The call for war through a symbolic signal fire
To your arms, to your armor
Encouragement to prepare for battle, putting on armor
The time has come to settle ancient scores
Time to resolve long-standing conflicts and grievances
Run to the highway, through the mountains
Moving towards the battleground through challenging terrain
To beat of drums the flags are flying high
Flags waving as drums beat, symbolizing the intensity of war
On the journey to the glory
Embarking on a journey seeking glory through conflict
Many win but many more will die
Acknowledging victories but anticipating significant losses
From here to Hell, where fallen dwell
Reference to the destination, Hell, where fallen warriors reside
The fighting's over let this life be done
Expressing a desire for the end of the current struggle
From here To Hell, the dead won't tell
Despite the battle's end, the deceased keep their secrets
The battle's over but the war is just begun
Emphasizing that the war continues beyond individual battles
Down through the valley to the journey
Moving through a perilous valley toward an uncertain future
The fields of doom we ride into their steel
Entering a field of doom, facing adversaries with steel weapons
Battle thunder, flash of lightning
Describing the intense atmosphere of battle with thunder and lightning
Ride on into the realm of the unreal
Riding into a realm that transcends reality
From here to Hell, where fallen dwell
Reiteration of Hell as the dwelling place for fallen warriors
The fighting's over let this life be done
Expressing a desire for the current life to end after the fight
From here to Hell, the final bell
Referring to the finality of the battle with the tolling bell
The souls of heroes let the darkness come
Souls of heroes embracing darkness after the conflict
From here to Hell, the dead won't tell
Even in death, the fallen keep their stories concealed
The battle's over but the war is just begun
Highlighting that the overall war persists beyond individual battles
Over the river stands the boatman
Introducing the boatman as a symbol of passage to the afterlife
The dead must pay a coin so they may cross
Requiring payment for crossing, depicting a cost for the journey
All the plunder for the ferryman
Emphasizing that amassed riches can't guarantee safe passage
Will never be enough to take you
An acknowledgment that some debts are insurmountable
From here to Hell, where fallen dwell
Reiteration of Hell as the final destination for fallen warriors
The fighting's over let this life be done
Expressing a desire for the current life to conclude after the fight
From here to Hell, the final bell
Reinforcing the finality of the battle with the tolling bell
The souls of heroes let the darkness come
The souls of heroes accepting darkness after the conflict
From here to Hell, the dead won't tell
Even in death, the fallen warriors retain their silence
The battle's over but the war is just begun
Emphasizing the enduring nature of the overall war
