All for One Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Flashing steel, musket flash
Blade of honour, powder cache
Yeah, yeah
Fight and die, protect the king
Against the odds, you don't give in
Yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
You stand and fight, undying loyalty
You are the guardians of France's royalty

[Chorus]
All for one
One for all
All for one
One for all
All for one

[Verse 2]
Gilded sabre your father's sword
On this day your oath was sworn
Yeah, yeah
You took the vow and show no fear
You ready now a musketeer
Yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
You stand beside your comrades to the end
Steadfast belief, your will will never bend

[Chorus]
All for one
One for all
All for one
One for all

[Verse 3]
You took the vow to keep the faith
Duty-bound, a state of grace
Yeah, yeah
When danger comes you heed the call
Grenadiers will stand or fall
Yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
You make your stand, undying loyalty
You are the guardians of France's royalty

[Chorus]
All for one
One for all
All for one
One for all
All for one

[Outro]
All for one
One for all
All for one
One for all
All for one
One for all

Cover art for All for One lyrics by Saxon

The track embodies a strong theme of loyalty, camaraderie, and sacrifice, capturing the spirit of brotherhood often associated with historical soldiers and noble warriors. It tells us that true honor and strength come from standing together, facing challenges, and being dedicated to a shared cause, particularly in the context of defending one's country and its values. This is especially reflected in the repeated rallying cry of "All for one, one for all," which highlights the interconnectedness of individual and collective identity in the face of adversity. The phrase was made famous by Alexandre Dumas in the 1844 novel "The Three Musketeers," where three soldiers who work off each other are an unbeatable team that plays to each other's weaknesses. The song itself may also be about the story, as it makes reference to aspects such as "guardians of France's royalty," and “gilded sabre your father’s sword.”

In any case, it's a simple tribute to the ideals of loyalty, unity, and sacrifice among warriors, made more powerful through vivid imagery and historical references. It tells of brave individuals who stand together in the face of danger, showcasing how collective strength can lead to resilience.
