Lyrics
I heard a whisper on my shoulder
There's a subtle suggestion or intuition influencing the speaker.
Pretending life is worth the fight
The speaker is trying to convince themselves that life is meaningful enough to keep fighting for.
Oh can you hear the song of thunder
Asking if someone else can perceive the powerful, ominous sound of thunder.
When fear strangles a soldier's pride
The feeling of fear suppressing the pride of a soldier.
And on the surface of the waters
There will be reflections of intense emotions or situations.
Will dance reflections of the fire in the night
These reflections will be visible on the surface of the waters at night.
I remember cheering from the towers
Recalling a time of joyous celebration, possibly a communal event.
A face is smiling in the light
Someone's happy or content expression is remembered.
I remember the bells, the flowers
Memories of pleasant moments symbolized by bells and flowers.
Those days are dying in the dark
These cherished memories are fading as darkness encroaches.
Boy I was shaped for the fury
The speaker was molded or prepared for intense emotion or conflict.
Now I pay the price
Now experiencing the consequences or cost of humanity's flaws.
Of the human race's vice
Paying the price for the detrimental behaviors of the human race.
And I was promised
The speaker was promised a noble or grand conclusion to their journey.
The glorious ending of a knight
The glorious ending expected by the speaker is not attainable.
But the crown is out of sight
The symbol of authority or success is now unreachable.
I'm slowly drifting into slumber
The speaker is gradually losing energy and determination, drifting towards sleep.
'Cause I have lost the force to fight
They no longer possess the strength or willpower to continue the struggle.
It's like a cold hand on my shoulder
A sense of coldness or detachment experienced by the speaker.
I'll see you on the other side
A farewell acknowledging that they will meet again after death or a significant change.
And in the arms of endless anger
The soldier's story concludes in the embrace of perpetual anger.
Will end the story of a soldier in the dark
The tale of the soldier ends in darkness, potentially representing an unfortunate or unresolved conclusion.
