Hammerfall - Dark Wings, Dark Words

It's been a long cold winter
Widespread snowfall, raging storms
Caught in winds delusions
Of our heart and soul
He came down from the mountains
Into our own frozen world
Spoke of revolution
Fed us with his words
A sacred man, from the other side
He gave us something to believe in
How could we be so blind?

His right hand gave us freedom
While the other stole the pride
Thought he had the answers
Standing by his side
Tales of a world, not so far away
We got entangled in his vows
How could we be so blind?

Heed the seven signs
When the sun and moon unite
Fear the Dark Winged messenger
Dread his darkened words

A graven image shattered
A meltdown of our wonderland
As the sun rised slowly
We tried to understand
A sacred heart, lost prosperity
But we found a way back home
From dusk came clarity

Heed the seven signs
When the sun and moon unite
Fear the Dark Winged messenger
Dread his darkened words

Heed the seven signs
When the sun and moon unite
Fear the Dark Winged messenger
Dread his darkened words

The song name is almost definitely a reference to the ASOIF series, I'm not too sure about the lyrics though..

Their Unbent Unbowed Unbroken album is named after House Martell's (main house of Dorne) "motto" of the same series.

[WolfhoundMercenary]

Actually, the song would fit more with a Game of Thrones (A song of Ice and Fire) clips, since the lyrics are directly influenced by 'em

[gordondel]

@DimmuKornReflux The lyrics are most certainly about Mance Raider (Spoilers) from the point of view of a wildling who saw him being burned by melissandre when he cried pitifully, not knowing it wasn't really him...

[Tsunat3z]

@WolfhoundMercenary Did not know that,and that show is really good.

[TheThanandros]

To me - I have a poem by the name of "The ragged man" and this by HAMMERFALL is much more eloquent than mine. This calls to the story of Christ! I love the post of the song and Video--

Best Band, Best Song. 

[Ardevonify]

just too epic to not like it :o

[timthetortoise]

@StateOfAolbainia Ugh, substitute Euron for Victarion. I am dumb.

[StateOfAolbainia]

@timthetortoise I think youre on somthing here, the man is clearly Euron Crows Eye.

[timthetortoise]

@masterianna In my opinion, if the song actually does have to with ASOIAF in terms of the lyrics (outside of the obvious dark wings/seven references), it probably is more about Victarion and the Ironborn. They make a lot more sense in that context, aside from the frozen part. Or it might not be about ASOIAF at all and just have a title from it :V

[Sarefsx]

HAMMERFALL should have made soundtrack for lotr, and world would be complete by epic epicness

[Sarefsx]

love it

[Plasticksprengstoff]

I love Hammerfall

I hate Lord of the Rings

but the music wins.............

[dahlusion]

WOW!!!!!!!

[voiceofreasonband]

most epic song of all time



[DimmuKornReflux]

@masterianna

I'm not sure how Dark Wings/Dark Words fits in with Mance and the Wildlings, but the rest totally does. :P

[masterianna]

@DimmuKornReflux I thought the same thing too before!!! I don't know if true or not, but I'd like it true ;)

In Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken (yep, House Martell rules!) there's a song named "Take the Black".. is that about the Night's Watch? Too many hints to say we got it wrong ;)

In this song's lyrics I may hear the wildelings complaining about Mance Ryder's claims, that have lead them to utter destruction (almost, at least). Do you agree? there's some difference, but u know... copyrights...

[Moska96Morthas]

:DD.. This song can sing Arthas. Read lyrics! Prophet is that "sacred man"..

[silenhill14]

[Mastrfreak]

@TargetFTW ANd if we give kamina glasses to gandalf it would be EPIC 3
