Kamelot - Glory

Song: Glory
Band: Kamelot
Album: The fourth Legacy
Year: 1999

sworn by the crown
I lead a crusade
fight for belief to be one
out in the field
fearless and cold
building the road to my Calvary

strong is my steel
dark is my mind
carmine the ground that I tread
faith in my godkeeps me alive
but when does my faith turn to doubt

silently watching the rain
carving the earth on my grave
lord you know that I prayed
one for the glory
and one for the souls that I've slain

how will I know
how could I tell
where would I find some serenity
sowing the seed
unwounded I bleed
lord won't you show me the way

christ is the cross that I bear
god is the will of my war
faint are the voices I hear
whispers of glory...

christ is the cry of despair
cursing the day I was born
this is the faith that we share
left with the glory
and suffering of souls that we've torn

oh wow... I was introduced to Kamelot on Epica. I fell instantly in love and obsessed to death over it. I have got all of the recent discography, but I realized I hadn't seen what was before Epica. And my God, Khan is so versatile with his voice. Just so soothing, even now as he tends towards lower vocals and even got off some borderline grunts on One Cold Winter's Night.

Kamelot is fucking awesome. That is a solid hard fact.

This song is about the Crusades from the perspective of a medieval Crusader after he and his folks slayed so many 'Heretics' in the name of God/ Then he regrets retrospectively sinking in his own qualms and regretfullness. Sounds splendid.

@pandatrueno1 and as for the last part of this long reply: What bothers me personally is that one line in the Bible about lions eating straw. It's not common to see a massive religious debate in the comments section of a metal song lol

@pandatrueno1 continued from the last post. You bring up a great point about dominion. The first thing that comes to mind for me is farm/factory-raised animals, like chickens. Their fates are completely in our hands, as are the ones used for entertainment, like the circus animals. As for the ones that are not domesticated, our actions have affected many of their populations.

@pandatrueno1 I guess this is the time for me to say that I don't seriously practice any religion and there's a reason for that lol I have read thru the whole bible twice, but both of those times were quite some time ago. I just went back thru the first chapter of Genesis. Okay, birds and fish were created on day 5 and land animals on day 6. I think there's a ton of room for debate and unmentioned details. Humans were the last to be mentioned.

[pandatrueno1]

@SilSolo true that, my apologies... Adam and eve were the "last created". Still leaves us two issues, 1. the Dinos. even if "man" didn't know about them, "god" would have, and since it was "authored" by "god", it should make mention of them...

and 2. it states that "man" shall have dominion over the animals of the earth.

Dominion - the power or right of governing and controlling; sovereign authority.

who's the last person you knew that could "command" animals? and no, a circus doesn't count...

[SilSolo]

@pandatrueno1 I thought that the Bible states that humans are amongst the last living things created.

@MorbidAngelOfSorrow You got that from Richard Dawkins didn't you? Regardless, all flesh are unclean before God. The Lord would be just to condemn us all to Hell with no salvation. We have missionaries for the reason that all should hear the gospel. All should be given this wonderful gift.

@PropheticVindicator

That's cruel. What about some kid from an Amazonian tribe who never got in touch with western civilization nor Christianity? Was he ever given a chance?

[PropheticVindicator]

@MorbidAngelOfSorrow I'm very disappointed to hear that, because Jesus is the only way to Heaven, and no one cometh unto the Father except by Him.

@PropheticVindicator

I dont' think that God will be mad at me because I believe in evolution. Even my religious education teacher in elementary school didn't take it literally. Don't be so exclusive, I think atheists and muslims and some random african animal cult member will be in Heaven one day just like you ;)
