@Revenge328 That logic could apply to just about any online multiplayer game, not just CoD. I prefer to think the verse refers to the futility and cyclical nature of war.
On another note, the opening riff bears an uncanny similarity to the riff from "Almost Human" by KISS.
@psychedelicfella Not about COD, games, or war, its about norse mythology. in norse afterlife, you feast till you burst, then you go out and fight "to the death" and when you "die" you appear back in the feasting hall again, and you repeat the eating and killing until forever
@Revenge328 umm..no. This song is about norse mythology and their idea of the afterlife, which consists of feasting till they burst, and then fighting to "the death" to which they will then appear again in the feasting hall, eat again, and go out fo fight each other again, in an endless cycle of eating and killing. Not about COD at all.
@ChocolateyChocobo13 I know. I wiki'd "freya" after wondering what the hell they were speaking of. I was just simply making a small, not-so-funny-in-hindsight referrence to a game I don't even play.
Lyrics: Part 1 A sword of fire and an axe of cold Vision of the Sibyl has foretold Armies gather on the battle-plain All will fall and earth will die in flame Here on the battle-plain We will die in flame In falcon's feathers soaring overhead Choosing warriors among the dead Twilight written in the runes of crones Freya weeps upon her golden throne
@MegaBlackZombie The odds are rather slim, my friend. I haven't had a clue about these guys before Guitar Hero 2. I remember Freya for seeming to go on for hours.
freya inst refering to some stupid game...it is the Greek goddess of love...

@perry244 Isn't Venus the Greek goddess of love? Not trying to get all smart-alecky, but I think you mean Norse.

Ah, I hadn't thought about that; it makes sense that a song by the sword would be about Norse mythology. Personally, I think Valhalla sounds awesome.

Me again. You know what I realized?
"The battle rages, but they fight in vain. When all is done it must begin again."
Call of Duty, anyone? Think about it, "they fight in vain." they'll respawn.
"When all is done [the match] it must begin again [another match will happen]."

Lyrics: Part 2
Upon her golden throne
We wait for her alone
Call us unto you hall
Take us into your thrall
The battle rages, but they fight in vain
When all is done it must begin again
