Lyrics
Who could know what you saw?
Expressing uncertainty about understanding someone else's experiences or perspective.
The leaves, they cover the trail of the getaway
Leaves symbolize concealment or covering, possibly alluding to hiding the traces of an escape.
Who could have heard your erudite voice
Questioning if anyone paid attention to the profound and knowledgeable voice.
If you had merely whispered
Suggesting that speaking softly or keeping silent out of fear may have prevented notice.
Afraid to make a sound?
Asking if there was fear of speaking out and making a noise.
Oh, look at what’s become of us
Reflecting on the current state of affairs, possibly expressing disappointment or concern.
So far from where we began
Highlighting a significant distance from the initial point or ideals.
No treasure, no empire, no freedom, no land
Listing the absence of traditional values like treasure, empire, freedom, and land.
Where is the warrior poet?
Raising a question about the whereabouts of a figure representing both a warrior and a poet.
He said that he would rise up and speak for me
Recalling a promise made by the warrior poet to stand up and speak on behalf of the speaker.
He said he would return when the final battle rages
Anticipating the warrior poet's return during a decisive conflict.
And deliver words that would set us free
Expecting the warrior poet to deliver words that bring liberation.
That would set us free
Emphasizing the desired outcome of the warrior poet's words - freedom.
How can we live in this madness?
Pondering the challenges of living in chaotic conditions.
A toxic wind chokes our völkisch breath
Describing a harmful atmosphere affecting the community's essence.
But our people are returning to the ancient words of wisdom
Noting a return to ancient wisdom and attempting to salvage remaining truths.
And salvaging the truth that might be left
Recognizing efforts to preserve valuable knowledge and insights.
Oh, look at what we’ve made of it
Reflecting on the consequences of collective actions.
There is no flag for which we stand
Indicating a lack of unified identity or cause represented by a flag.
No treasure, no empire, no freedom, no land
Reiterating the absence of core values - treasure, empire, freedom, and land.
Where is the warrior poet?
Repeating the inquiry about the warrior poet's location.
He said that he would rise up and speak for me
Recalling the warrior poet's commitment to speaking on behalf of the speaker.
He said he would return when the final battle rages
Reiterating the anticipation of the warrior poet's return during a critical battle.
And deliver words that would set us free
Expecting the warrior poet's words to bring liberation once again.
Where is the warrior poet?
Continuing to question the warrior poet's whereabouts.
He said that he would rise up and speak for me
Reaffirming the warrior poet's promise to speak on behalf of the speaker.
He said he would return when the final battle rages
Reiterating the expectation of the warrior poet's return in a decisive battle.
And deliver words that would set us free
Anticipating the liberation that the warrior poet's words would bring.
That would set us free
Emphasizing the desired outcome of the warrior poet's words - freedom.
