| I've interpreted the song as someone who has gotten out of a bad relationship or a string of bad relationships bringing them to be a bit sour and negative towards love and relationships | |

Lets see, 1945 and the line "Down they fly From out of the sky Feel the radiation burn!" Then "The men of power had nothing to fear. When the finger hits the switch they're far away from here." Could be easily looked at as how the people who made the choice for the bomb to be dropped were not on the plane that dropped it, rather they were in a war bunker that was rather well protected from conventional bombs. I dunno, it seems like they're talking of the Nagisaka bomb getting dropped in a bit of a metaphoric way. |

According to blind Guardian, it's based on the old scandanavian legend of Hildebrandslied. Here is the story as said from Wikipedia Hildebrand fights his own son Hadubrand. In fact Hildebrand became Dietrich's (Theoderich's) armourer, because he had to leave his home, he left his wife and his son. 30 years later, Hildebrand returns. His son Hadubrand is now ruling over his land, he is leading his army against the supposed invasion. As is customary, the two leaders meet between the armies. They start to list their family tree, in order to prevent themselves from killing a relative. Hadubrand says that he is "Hadubrand Hildebrand's son", but he was told that Hildebrand died, and he thinks that the fighter before him is using Hildebrand's name to deceive him. In fact in the original text with the end of the song is lost, but the legends and the third song tell the end of the story. Hildebrand has to kill his son otherwise he would be killed by him; he has pictures of all the warriors he killed on his red shield, and his son's picture is added to the others. |
