Blood and Thunder Lyrics

I think that someone is trying to kill me
Infecting my blood and destroying my mind
No man of the flesh could ever stop me
The fight for this fish is a fight to the death

White whale, holy grail
White whale, holy grail

What remorseless emperor commands me
I no longer govern my soul
I am completely immersed in darkness
As I turn my body away from the sun

White whale, holy grail
White whale, holy grail

Split your lungs with blood and thunder
When you see the white whale
Break your backs and crack your oars men
If you wish to prevail

This ivory leg is what propels me
Harpoons thrust in the sky
Aim directly for his crooked brow
And look him straight in the eye

White whale, holy grail
White whale, holy grail

What is the Meaning of Blood and Thunder?

Immerse yourself in the tumultuous journey of a man battling his inner demons, as depicted in this powerfully evocative track. The lyrics convey a struggle against an overpowering adversary, symbolized as the "white whale", akin to Captain Ahab's relentless pursuit in Moby Dick. The protagonist feels hunted, his sanity and life force under attack. Yet, he remains defiant, ready to battle till the end. The repeated phrase "white whale, holy grail" suggests an obsessive quest for something elusive yet sacred. The song is a testament to human resilience amid overwhelming darkness and despair - a raw exploration of our capacity to endure amidst life's harshest storms. #HumanResilience #ObsessiveQuest
