The Crown and the Ring (Lament of the Kings) Lyrics
To a battle I ride
Blazing up to the sky
Chains of fate
Hold a firey stride
I'll see you again when I die
Whirlwinds of fire we ride
Providence brought us the crown and the ring
Covered with blood and our pride
My enemies ride fast
Knowing not this ride's their last
Saddle my horse as I drink my last ale
Bow string and steel will prevail
Whirlwinds of fire we ride
Providence brought us the crown and the ring
Covered with blood and our pride
Your true son am I
I hail you now as I die
I pledge you my sword and to no man I kneel
Ours is the kingdom of steel
Whirlwinds of fire we ride
Providence brought us the crown and the ring
Covered with blood and our pride
The song has its own unique and enchanting melody, the rhythm is powerful and affective. I love its deep emotional meaning!
Its a song about the Vikings.
I think this song is just standing for yourself, that it's deeper meaning but the story is about a viking warrior who went to fight his enemies.
The Chorus says: "High and mighty alone we are kings Whirlwinds of fire we ride Providence brought us the crown and the ring Covered with blood and our pride" From this we can figure out that it's lonely at the top. He is the king and he fought hard to get there. I say it's fair to assume that since his crown and ring (for signing official decrees) are covered in blood (symbolic blood) he probably did some nefarious deeds in order to get to where he is. Later it says "Heroes await me My enemies ride fast Knowing not this ride's their last Saddle my horse as I drink my last ale Bow string and steel will prevail" This is the last stand. Victory here is victory for his kingdom. Defeat here he looses at the best his throne and at worst his life and those of his best men.
