Throw Down The Sword Lyrics
The fight is done and over
Neither lost, neither won
To cast away the fury of the battle
And turn my weary eyes for home
Only hoping for an answer
And leave the glory
A story time can never change.
To walk the road, the load I have to carry
A journey's end, a wounded soul.
Only searching for an answer
This song is wonderful: it's a great blend of folky British sounds and classic prog/early metal energy. To me, it's telling the story of an English hero who old and tired of fighting with victory just in sight. This could be a metaphor for any kind of struggle.
Epic man.
Nothing to suggest Englishness, however I'd agree that this song is basically about peace. Actually I'm reminded of the WW1 war poems of Owen and Sassoon.

You can't win a war without some sort of loss, usually human life.

Holding on to the vain hope that there was something worth dying for.

All wars follow the same pattern.

The composition of the song is brought to the perfection: 2 min guitar intro, 2 min singing, and 2 min guitar two barrel closing solo.

These lyrics are INCOMPLETE.
There is an extra verse
Throw down the sword, And leave the glory A story time can never change. To walk the road, the load I have to carry A journey's end, a wounded soul.
