I think this might be about the struggle of personalities between Odetta and Susannah from the Dark Tower series. Though, I can't be 100% sure. I guess I say that because I know some of the guys in BG are fans of the Dark Tower books.
If anyone out there is breeding dragons let me know.... I must have one!! I need it to model for me while I paint a picture of it for an amazing album cover lol Anyways Blind Guardian totally dominates the competition when it comes to making awesome music!!!
I don't know the topic of the song...but I like to think that this song is about the other side of the people when they are depressed... the side of us, the side of me that sometimes comes out and I can't stop, I just can't control. I would like to be always happy, ma the dark side of me sometimes comes out... :(
@Sindollx666x , I was quite sure that this was about Dr.Jekill and Mr.Hide... "there is someone else, another stranger me...".But if you say so, I will believe you.
@Davccelion It's not about Harry Potter, who would the "she" that is referenced in the end be? And it's not that the bit of soul that Harry has in him is another stranger Harry, it's just a bit of Voldemort's soul.
@Davccelion No, I don't have a good idea, it could be a story somewhat like "Shutter Island", about someone in an asylum who has schizophrenia, or it could be something else, I don't really know.
@WeekendWarrior126 I haven't heard a single song by BG that was bad, maybe they aren't all on the epic scale like this, the bards song, valhalla, turn the page, lionheart, mirror mirror, Valkyries, The Fallen angel.... ahhh anyway, they're not all 100% amazing, but there are a lot of damn good songs by this band!
@astralfarts you seem overly concerned with what other people think. most people are idiots, so does what they think really matter? all that matters is if you enjoy it.
@milkkart your right thank you. i didn't mean every person it was more of a critique thing with my group of friends..they liked this right away more than any older songs which i wasn't sure about..and this album sounded weirdly different. but again your right my high standards of bg just made me care too much, fuck it its still good
@astralfarts lol disliking music because other people like it, man, can't get much more idiotic than that, like what you want, not what other people don't, doing that is pretty much the same as liking what other people like, a slave to anticonformity as opposed to conformity, I like that, so much stupidity, so little time to laugh at it.
@grooloops nah has nothing to do with conformity. i meant i liked it because i'm the only person in my group of friends that likes power metal and they started to listen to a twist in the myth as opposed to NatO... and started to like just the album which made me worry because i look forward to a new cd maybe. i guess anticonformity is stupider than ignorance? not ur fault tho i shouldve clarified who THEY were because u people worry about every person as a whole as opposed to 10 or 12 of them.
@Kailjiin Demons and Wizards is still making albums? I thought they broke back up into Iced and blind again. Cause their have another three albums planned.
Which version of Battalions are you talking about? The one re-released under the name "Blind Guardian" or the original version released under the name Lucifer's heritage?
IMO the original version is amazing, but the second version when they renamed is ok.
These guys are Legendary, I've heard lots of songs, from lots of bands, and they excel any other band in every aspect, they are truly creators of masterpieces,my deepest respect and admiration are with the work of art they achieve in every album, if the wolrd goes on for another 200 years they will be part of the inmortal classics just like vivaldi,mozart or other great genius, they are indeed beyond superb. Simply amazing. Hail from Catalonia, Blind Guardian 4 EVER.
this is absolutely INSANE! its one of the greatest metal songs i ever heard... @) its absolutely addictive! i cant stop listening to it(which i did for the last 2 and a half hours :P ).

Hello there fellow metalheads.
Instead of a Metal rebellion i propose a new plan.
1. Instead of bashin other metal artists, we need to unite. We cant fight against pop music if we arent even together.
2. Watch more and other metal videos to get it to the top of the youtube vid list
3. Instead of bashing pop, promote metal with logical reasons, not just "METAL RULES!!"
If you like this idea, thumbs it up JUST so people can see it, and spread it if you like it.
