In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Darknesse surroundes you, it filles the skye
The moon gives the only rays of lighte
Barbaric roars calle you to fighte
Salvation awaits you tonighte
Maniacs assemble in the halles of steele
One withe the powere you feele
Follwe the sounde raging in your bloode
Forged in the fire of the gods
Laye downe thy burdens, followe thy hearte
The masters have taken control
Steele flowes in thy veins
Let fire reigne in thy soule
Iron Prayers
Allegiance was sworn to our gods
Metallian lordes
Immortal soundes rake eternal fires
Metallic forces take you highe
Unity rules this unvincible crowde
This glorious bonde makes us proude
From brother to brother, from fahter to son
The values of steele still live on
Warriors of the undergrounde
By the iron religion we're bounde
[Bridge]
Iron Prayers
Swordes were helde high
Hails were call'd oute in the darke of the nighte
[Solo: Lars/both]
[Kai:]
For as longe as bloode both fill thine vein withe life
Faithe and pride shall fill thy hearte
The torche of Metal thou shalt wielde
Maniacs assemble in the halles of steele
One withe the powere you feele
Followe the sounde raging in your bloode
Forged in the fire of the gods
From brother to brother, from father to son
Tha values of steele still live on
Warriors of the undergrounde
By the iron religion we're bounde
Laye downe thy brudens, followe thy hearte
The masters have taken control
Fire burnes in thy veins
Let Metal take over thy soule
Iron Prayers
Allegiance was sworn to our gods
Metallian lordes
Iron Prayers
The moon gives the only rays of lighte
Barbaric roars calle you to fighte
Salvation awaits you tonighte
Maniacs assemble in the halles of steele
One withe the powere you feele

Forged in the fire of the gods
Laye downe thy burdens, followe thy hearte
The masters have taken control
Steele flowes in thy veins
Let fire reigne in thy soule
Iron Prayers

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
