| yeah, but in that part of the story, there wasn't any snow. It doesn't completely fit. | |

| This song frustrates me. Reason being that it just brings out so many questions. Luckily the reactions above help me a bit figuring out where this song came from. But still, its lyrics and its title are still very puzzling to me. I have an incredible urge to send an e-mail to Robert Plant (who, I assume, wrote the lyrics) and ask him to shed some more light on this songs lyrics. Maybe it's just meant to be mysterious and puzzling. I am, by the way, comforted by the fact that Robert Plant wrote nonsensical lyrics regularly (I don't know, but I've been told, big legged woman ain't got no soul). Nowadays he even claims that the lyrics of stairway to heaven are no good, so. But still, who can answer this question for me?: Why is this concept of holding or asking no quarter so central in this song? Is it (just a theory this) because the ethymology of the expression '(to give) no quarter' is so mysterious? I do think it has something to do with Robert Plant liking the words 'No Quarter' as a song title. It's not unlikely that he had the title first, around which he created this Tolkienesque story. Why else would he (and Jimmy Page) even give an album this title? By the way, I love the Page and Plant version of this song. The use of echo in that version is great. It ads to the mysterious atmosphere of the song. Anyone who has seen the video that accompanied the 'No Quarter'-album knows that it's played live in a forest (presumably somewhere near Bron-Y-Aur, Snowdonia, Wales). Wouldn't it just have been absolutely grand if you would have been hiking in that forest , when suddenly, in the distance, you heard this rendition of 'No Quarter'? That is my vision of paradise. | |

| I like listening to this song late at night, alone...It gives one an eerie feeling, that although you think you're alone, you aren't....especially during the excellent guitar parts. Anyway, that's just me. | |

| I don't think it has anything to do with lord of the rings. I'm thinking it's strictly borrowed from Norse lore. I can't recall what story though. | |

| This song is definatly about Lord of the Rings. Just listen to the lyrics. Its obvious. Idiotic is right. The Tool version of the song is awesome. You should totally check it out. You know that saying "nothing is as good as the original." Well this is one case where cover is as good as the led zep version. | |
