Death Of A King Lyrics

A great song by a great band. I believe this song is the definition of, not all men are built to be great leaders or kings. Just because someone's destiny is that they are to become king, doesn't mean that's something they are gonna excel at. This song is about how some kings do not realize the stress or weight of the world they may have to bear, and as a consequence he ends up dead. The death could be a literal death or a figurative death, as in he is dethroned.

My Interpretation

@EternalTearsOfSorrow the themes you're talking about are correct, but there is a specific context - the story of Lalli from Finnish mythos
