Song Lyrics

Ok. I have an interpretation of the following song that I for some reason cannot convince my friends of. I want you guys to read them and tell me what you think they're about, and after a few posts, I'll put up my theory.




(Recorded April 1991. Released on album "Twilight Of The Gods", June 1991)


In great numbers we advance before dawn
By the great hail this great fight is born
Among the clouds now our black wings fills the air
No more frontlines the holy battle is everywhere

Though death may await me on the battlefield
I die to go on but by the great hail I will go,
I am marching under the runes

Countless victories we fight side by side
Deep down in the oceans on land and way up in the sky
Comed this far now there is no way back or return
If we do withdraw the horizon will seem to burn

Though death now is closing in on me
I die to go on but by the great hail I will go,
I am fighting under the runes

Standing here now amidst the hell we have made
All signs of a wonder or to survive now seems to fade
But I am a fighter and I still have my pride
They are gonna have to kill, by my own hand I refuse to die

Though now death is all that awaits me
I die to go on but by the great hail I will go
I am dying under the runes

Well, I may be way off base but it somewhat sounds like a foreshadowing of 9/11/2001.

Sounds kind of Viking to me but I could be wrong

My theory is that he's fighting for the SS (the runes). The line that really got me to think this was "by the great hail I go".
