| The Gathering – you learn about it Lyrics
| 4 years ago

|
The song is quite simple. \n\nThe heroine is speaking to herself. She went through hell, and yet the didn\'t mind, only gave it a sigh. She never knew before she was that strong. \nShe\'s ready for another try, even though she realizes she will have to "harvest" all that\'s eating her inside. \nNear the end of the song, she alsmost gives up (can\'t take no more), but reassures herself she\'s capable and can get through.\n\nIt\'s a song about self-assurance, about a woman gaining confidence. \n\nThere NOT a single word about suicide, and if you see it there, you really need a therapist. |

It is quite clear.
It is about people who fight AGAINST viking invasion. I presume, Irish or English warriors, who fight against Danes. They see viking ship on the horizon, take up their broadswords, take symbols of their God, hide their women and children, and prepare themselves for battle to defend their land. |

This song is about Maedros, right.
Also there's a quote - Hansi is fond of quoting his inspirations - a quote from Metallica's Welcome Home (Sanitarium).
Welcome to where time stands still
No one leaves and no one (ever) will |

Runestaff. This is another Moorcock song, now about Corum.
Interestingly, the tittle is a quote from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar. |

The song is on Akhenaten, Pharaoh of the of the eighteenth dynasty. He made the cult of Aton, God of the SUn, the only and supreme cult in Egypt. Other gods cursed him, and Egypt descended into era of troubles. His son, Tutankhamun, has died at early age, hence "The gods would punish the hybris of Pharaoh". |

| Iced Earth – The Reckoning (Don't Tread On Me) Lyrics

Perhaps, it's about Dresden bombing at 1945? Thousand of german civilians was killed there. Or even about Hiroshima bombing. Both are like the revenge for nazis' war crimes - 'Revenge is not Justice'.
Not any part of this album is concerned with contemporary actions, it's historical concept album. |

This is Biblical-themed song about Jesus and his crucifiction. A common theme for BG, since there's Martyr, Sadly Sings Destiny and Another Holy War, but this one is the best. |
