Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
The song evokes intense martial strength, wrath, and ominous power. It describes a protagonist possessed with the strength of an elephant, under whose fury severed heads of enemies drop like light feathers onto the red, blood-soaked battlefield. The lyrics feature striking dark imagery, portraying the protagonist as a face of the blood moon before whom even demons flee and whole armies perish in terror.
