Den nya HammerFall plattan närmar sig med stormsteg. Ännu närmare är den första låten som de släpper, Any Means Neccecary, från den. Denna låtens video har nämligen premiär på Söndag, längst ner publicerar jag en stillbild från den videon. Men nu till dagens text. Denna text är, passande nog, en HammerFall text. Den kommer från albumet Renegade från 2000 och heter Destined For Glory. Texten är skriven av Joacim Cans.

Once upon a time in a forlorn land,
a man on a mission was left at fates hand
In his eyes you could see the whites turn red
Surrounded by evil, abandoned for dead

Born on the run by the sign of the sun
A mail-clad warrior, the chosen one
His name's been cursed, he is bound to fail
A wandering spirit with the will to prevail

By the sign of the moon,
he swore the oath to fight alone

Fight with your heart, and you're Destined For Glory
But fight without honor, and you're destined to fall

He still can recall his father's words
"Don't loose your faith, let your voice be heard"
Echoes from the past will lead him on
By these words of honor, shine like the sun

By the sign of the moon
He swore the oath to fight alone

Fight with your heart, and you're Destined For Glory
But fight without honor, and you're destined to fall
Fight with your heart, and you're Destined For Glory
But fight without soul and you will loose it all

The prophecies spoke of a wandering man
Skilled with steel, black as the night
Normally veiled from the mortal eyes
His hammer arose like a magic force
With a gaze that turned everything into stone
the warrior spoke, "I am the one"

Fight with your heart, and you're Destined For Glory
But fight without honor, and you're destined to fall
Fight with your heart, and you're Destined For Glory
But fight without soul and you will loose it all

Fight with your heart, and you're Destined For Glory
But fight without honor, and you're destined to fall
Fight with your heart, and you're Destined For Glory
But fight without soul and you will loose it all

Vad den här låten handlar om kan tolkas på flera olika sätt. Antingen så tolkar man den ordagrant, om att den handlar om en krigare som är ute och krigar. Eller så tolkar man den, som jag, att den handlar om att man ska följa sitt hjärta. För om man följer sitt hjärta, så kommer man tillslut dit man vill. Mer tänker jag inte säga. Texten ger nämligen utrymme för fler reflektioner än det får plats här.
