Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Time after time, as we march side by side,
Through the valleys of evil and the torturing souls,
Night after night, for the glory we fight,
In the kingdom of madness and the tales from the old!
Death by our hand, for the higher command,
As the darkness surrounds us and the cries as they fall,
Fire burning steel, and the tyrants will kneel,
Hearts burning stronger with the power of the sword
Set sail for the glory,
Pray for the master of war
Sunlight will fall by the wastelands
Endless rise with the heroes before
Cry thunder!
Sword in his hand
Titans of justice, fearless we stand
Cry thunder!
Strong in command
Blessed by the union, freedom of man
Reckoning day, for the demons we slay,
With the force of a dragon we will conquer them all!
Chaos still reigns, in the space and the plains,
With the ultimate glory will relentlessly crawl
March on
Through the hell fire
Raging from the darkness beyond
Nightmares return by the thousands
Fearing rise, with the heroes once more
Cry thunder!
Sword in his hand
Titans of justice, fearless we stand
Cry thunder!
Strong in command
Blessed by the union, freedom of man
Unholy darkness,
In the eyes of broken dreams,
Outside of the wasted and torn,
A land of tears still remains
Soldiers of destiny calling,
And the fallen will rise up again,
Conquer the forces of evil and fight to the end
Cry thunder!
Sword in his hand
Titans of justice, fearless we stand
Cry thunder!
Strong in command
Savior of nations, freedom of man
Cry thunder!
Sword in his hand
Warriors defending, one final stand
Cry thunder!
Strong in command
Blessed by the union, freedom of man
Blessed by the union of man!
Cry thunder!
Yeah yeah!
Through the valleys of evil and the torturing souls,
Night after night, for the glory we fight,
In the kingdom of madness and the tales from the old!
Death by our hand, for the higher command,
As the darkness surrounds us and the cries as they fall,
Fire burning steel, and the tyrants will kneel,
Hearts burning stronger with the power of the sword
Set sail for the glory,
Pray for the master of war
Sunlight will fall by the wastelands
Endless rise with the heroes before
Cry thunder!
Sword in his hand
Titans of justice, fearless we stand
Cry thunder!
Strong in command
Blessed by the union, freedom of man
Reckoning day, for the demons we slay,
With the force of a dragon we will conquer them all!
Chaos still reigns, in the space and the plains,
With the ultimate glory will relentlessly crawl
March on
Through the hell fire
Raging from the darkness beyond
Nightmares return by the thousands
Fearing rise, with the heroes once more
Cry thunder!
Sword in his hand
Titans of justice, fearless we stand
Cry thunder!
Strong in command
Blessed by the union, freedom of man
Unholy darkness,
In the eyes of broken dreams,
Outside of the wasted and torn,
A land of tears still remains
Soldiers of destiny calling,
And the fallen will rise up again,
Conquer the forces of evil and fight to the end
Cry thunder!
Sword in his hand
Titans of justice, fearless we stand
Cry thunder!
Strong in command
Savior of nations, freedom of man
Cry thunder!
Sword in his hand
Warriors defending, one final stand
Cry thunder!
Strong in command
Blessed by the union, freedom of man
Blessed by the union of man!
Cry thunder!
Yeah yeah!

following the theme of a post-apocalyptic world i would say this is a story of how soldiers use to follow the orders of an evil general/commander, but after regretting those days they turn around and fight the evil.
"Time after time, as we march side by side Through the valleys of evil and the torturing souls Night after night, for the glory we fight In the kingdom of madness and the tales from the old"
the soldiers standing strong together following orders in a time of chaos fighting for "glory".
"Death by our hands, for the higher command As the darkness surrounds us in the quiet as they fall Fire burning steel, and the tyrants will kneel Hearts burning stronger with the power of the sword"
This describes the soldiers learning their evil and then turning on their leader and then fighting for good.
"Cry thunder Sword in his hand Titans of justice, fearless we stand Cry thunder Strong in command Savior of nations, freedom of man
Cry thunder Sword in his hand Warriors defending, one final stand Cry thunder Strong in command Blessed by the union, freedom of man"

Reminds me of Operation Valkyrie (July 20 plot) and Operation Merdeka (Philippine plot to reclaim Sabah from Malaysia), though both operations failed (the German and Philippine rebels were quickly suppressed).
Time after time, as we march side by side Through the valleys of evil and the torturing souls Night after night, for the glory we fight In the kingdom of madness and the tales from the old
Death by our hands, for the higher command As the darkness surrounds us in the quiet as they fall Fire burning steel, and the tyrants will kneel Hearts burning stronger with the power of the sword
Set sail for the glory Pray for the master of war Sunlight will fall by the wastelands Endless rise to the heroes before
[Chorus:] Cry thunder Sword in his hand Titans of justice, fearless we stand Cry thunder Strong in command Blessed by the union, freedom of man
Reckoning day, for the demons we slay With the force of a dragon we will conquer them all Chaos still reigns, devastation and flames With the ultimate glory when the legacy calls
March on through the hellfire Blazing through the darkness beyond Nightmares return of the thousands Giving rise to the heroes once more
[Chorus]
[solo]

Cry thunder Sword in his hand Warriors defending, one final stand Cry thunder Strong in command Blessed by the union, freedom of man
Blessed by the union of man Cry thunder
