Blind Guardian: Lionheart Meaning
Lionheart Lyrics
Speak to me
It all would be easier
I want to talk to you
Who is that?
Do I hear a whisper?
Or do I hear a cry?
Across the brown land
The stumps of time
Oh turn the wheel and heal me
Since moonlights...

According to Hansi Kürsch in an interview, Lionheart is about Ulysses and how he travels through Hades, but in this song he doesn't find the way out as seen in the lines "Cause down to Hades I've gone, But I cannot get out." Ulysses is stuck there and he is having a hard time because all the spirits are trying to fool him, probably taken from the lyrics "Who's that? Do I hear a whisper? Or do I hear a cry? Across the brown land, The ghosts arrive." It appears as if Ulysses is paranoid about his situation and things get worse when the ghosts (spirits) show up.
Hansi took inspiration from Gustave Dore, a French artist, and his illustrations of Dante's Inferno. The main character of the epic poem, Virgil, meets Ulysses in the Divine Comedy.
