HEAVY song... Love it. Killer riffs from beginning to end. Lyrically, the "how heavy this axe" statement is a literary device used to show that the speaker MUST do battle whether he likes it or not. He has been handed this task to do by the gods and he has no choice. It comes from the axe being a burden... Like a "heavy burden" we must fulfill because it is our fate. His burden from birth is that of a warrior who must do battle to appease the gods he speaks of.

This song definitely kicks ass, so I'm wondering why I'm the first to comment.
This song is about some sort of dungeons & dragons wars, but I'll interprete later on.
What does the phrase "How Heavy This Axe" mean?
