The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Gates of Ekrund" by the artist "Wind Rose"

Contents

The song "Gates of Ekrund" by the Italian band Wind Rose tells the story of the heroic defense of the dwarven fortress Ekrund against a horde of invaders.

From the first lines, we are immersed in an atmosphere of despair and hopelessness: the enemy outnumbers the defenders, the night is dark, and the stars do not light the way. The dwarves prepare to meet death at the gates of their fortress, but they do not give up. Their fighting spirit is unbroken, they are determined to fight to the last breath.

The main theme of the song is the dwarves' unwavering resilience and courage in the face of overwhelming odds. They are united as never before, having left their forges to defend their home. "Fire and stone!" – the dwarven battle cry, symbolizing their connection to the mountains and blacksmithing, sounds like a leitmotif throughout the song, expressing their determination and fury.

Despite having no hope of victory, the dwarves of Ekrund do not retreat. They respond "blow for blow", demonstrating their unwavering will to fight and loyalty to their traditions. The song glorifies heroism, resilience and brotherhood in the face of death.

From the fortress old

The dwarves on the gates are crying for war

And coming with the night the blood will flow

Before their home

There's no turning back anymore

From the fortress old

They're holding the lines and ready to die

They stack on the walls

The swarm has arrived

At the gates of their home

There's no turning back anymore

Here we are, at the gates of the mountain

Hold the line

We're alone but no one was left behind

We are outnumbered as defenders

Overrun, but there will be no surrender

Here we are, at the gates of the mountain

Hold the line, feel the breath of the horde

That's charging us

We are outnumbered as defenders

Overrun, we will answer to their fire with fire!

Fire! Fire!

Fire and Stone

We came from the forge together

And we'll answer to the call

With Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!

We'll kill them all

As long as we are together

At the gates we'll not fall

Dark is night, not a star in the sky

Will shine on us, we're alone but no one

Was left behind, with desperation in our eyes

We wait to die in the forthcoming attack

ORCS AHEAD! At the gates of the mountain

Hold the line

Feel the breath of the horde that's charging us

We are outnumbered as defenders

Overrun, we will answer to their fire with fire!

Fire! Fire!

Fire and Stone

We came from the forge together

And we'll answer to the call

With Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!

We'll kill them all

As long as we are together

At the gates we'll not fall

Fire! Fire!

Fire and Stone

We came from the forge together

And we'll answer to the call

With Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!

We'll kill them all

As long as we are together

We will answer to their fire with fire!

Fire! Fire! Fire!

Fire with fire

Fire! Fire! Fire!

Fire with fire

Fire! Fire! Fire!

Fire with fire

Fight the fire with fire

We will answer all, there's no choice anymore

Dwarves of Ekrund reunite together

In front of the gates of the fort.

No step back for us

We stand firm like a wall made of stone

Dwarves of Ekrund reunite together

Defending the gates of our home

Here we are, at the gates of the mountain

Hold the line, feel the breath of the horde

That's charging us

We are outnumbered as defenders

Overrun, we will answer to their fire with fire!

[2x:]

Fire! Fire!

Fire and Stone

We came from the forge together

And we'll answer to the call

With Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!

We'll kill them all

As long as we are together

At the gates we'll not fall
