Blind Guardian Lyrics

    ------ About the song Bright Eyes performed by Blind Guardian

I always thought this song was about Mordred before his final battle against his father Arthur, but what you all mentioned, i find that a good interpretation too. Guess there are many ways to understand this genius song

    ------ About the song Sacred performed by Blind Guardian

I find it amusing that even a song made for a under the table video game can still have relevence and meaning. I like this song alot actually, it's lyrics have meaning that I can appreciate, and it just goes to show you, that you should never judge a book by its cover. Maybe this was made by a relatively unknown metal band for a game that is hardly popular, but it still speaks to the truth of life in its own way. Thumbs up! :D

    ------ About the song Battlefield performed by Blind Guardian

This song is quite heavy with the bass and everything, but the singing and construction makes it a beautiful work of art that's more comparable to opera with the depth and epic-ness of it all!!
Sure, I'm not exactly an expert, and I could be wrong, just sayin' it seems quite like it!

Either way, amazing song!!! 5/5

    ------ About the song Nightfall performed by Blind Guardian

This is really an excellent song, one that really conveys the feeling of the Silmarillion. The sorrow of the elves over the destruction of the trees, the loss of the Silmarils, and the death of the elven king are all made clear not only in the lyrics but in the feeling of the music. In my opinion, one of the best song on the entire Nightfall In Middle-Earth album.

    ------ About the song The Bard's Song performed by Blind Guardian

    ------ About the song Bright Eyes performed by Blind Guardian

From Blind Guardian interview by Metal Hammer (Greece 5/98)

MH: What the story about, exactly?
Hansi: It's about and isolated child living in reality. Despite its age, he's about ten, it's very smart and has some special talents. He's not getting along well with the people around him, including his family. So, it's isolated and eventually starts loosing it's mind. That's happening in "Bright Eyes". The reason why he can't get along with other people is that he has already shaped his own perspective about truth and he does not belong to the people who always say "yes". In the end, through the mirror you see on the cover, he comes into contact with another world. Both sides, the good and the evil, are interested in that child because of its wisdom. In the beginning, the child does not accept the imagination from the other world with positive feelings. When he does, the dilemma is created: which path will he take? Take the good path or the evil path? Stay in reality or jump into another world? Eventually, and that's the end of the story, in "And The Story Ends" to chid makes that jump, finds a friend, but it is not clear which path he took.

    ------ About the song Lionheart (Demo Version) performed by Blind Guardian

this song is unbelievably great. It is one of those songs that has such a force upon the soul that you can't help but be touched by its vocals. Its blind guardian at their greatest and up at the top along with And The Story Ends.

    ------ About the song Bright Eyes performed by Blind Guardian

I think the meaning of the song is darker than what one could supposed at the beggining:

1.- It talks about isolation and "being alone", after that changes "sadness" by "fear"... fear of what? Then, It talks about a "freakshow" at an exact hour (don't miss it)...
2.- Future plans seemed to be screwed by something, and sorrow has gone. Then "No one's left to hurt".. Who?
3.- Broken memories, an entire world burning that fits with former verses. After that, it talks about the feelings towards parents and "ashes to ashes", a common place in Blind Guardian's lyrics which points out to death... always (even there's a song called that way)
4.- Fianlly it talks about being right or wrong, not related to an opinion, but to a fact... a crime maybe?

So, I think the meaning deals with a kid who, after being paid enough attention for his parents, who instead of that, mistreated him, he decides to kill them. For that reason the "freakshow" and the change from sadness to fear. He thinks that killing his parents was a mistake... but at last realizes that if he was right he has no hope of being a normal kid, with or without the crime (this final verse makes me think that the boy thought it before the crime)...
