Viking Death March

I think this song is clearly not about vikings. With this song they critize society. (sorry for my bad english)

"Stop, punch in the clock, punch it with all of your rage put the men in the office for a minimum wage"

People nowadays have jobs they don't like, to get money they dont need. The Company's, the Governments, the Banks rob the people.

Many parts are similar to this.

Now, the time is now, we can still turn it around Raise your voice like a weapon 'till they fall to the ground Light, let there be light, without a shadow of doubt We will fight tooth and nail until salvation is found.

Here they also speak about an revolution. We should fight for a better World.

"Open your eyes and the empire falls"

People need to know whats really going on right now. They should awake from their dream of the "perfect world" and fight the empire until it falls.

But I have no idea why they called the Song "Viking Death March". I also don't get the chourous.

I agree with Morgia's interpretation.

The song is clearly about the condition Society is in today, but there's even more evidence to support that.

"We will show no mercy On Evoulution's mistake"

We've evolved into consumers, and a conglomerate society that doesn't fully embrace our potential. There are plenty of great musicians who work in corer stores, plenty of great artists stuck as school teachers. It's saying we should change that with no mercy.

"Change will have to wait If we can't decide on a fate" We don't know where our future is headed, and until we realize that, we cannot do anything to change it.

"you preach about love And teach about faith But all your beliefs are still rooted in hate"

Possibly apathy towards others. So many people go about saying that the way to create a better world is to care for others, however there are still plenty of people who hate their day job, boss, or even someone they don't like instead of trying to get to know them and possibly even grow to like that person.

Or possible Hypocritites preaching love, despite possibly being racist or discriminating against others.

"You preach about love and teach about faith but all your beliefs are still rooted in hate"

This leads me to believe that it's about corruption within the Catholic Church. I think it's pretty much saying that the corrupt members are hypocrites who don't really believe in what they preach about.

The chorus relates to the corruption of religion, precisely the Catholic Church. How there should be many crosses too burn

Crosses still burn, axes still fall and down on your knees you just don't look so tall

And the last part relates to during your prayer you go on your knees and how foolish they look

In a interview for a dutch magazine the band said that it's about standing up for yourself. You can change the world if you set yourself to it.

i think it is about religion and capitalism at the same time and it sounds like viking death march

Great song, reminds me of Rage Against the Machine lyrics.

Anger is a Gift- Zack de la Rocha

This song suggests Political Reform/ the Fall of the Bastille & compares it to today's hardships. The heads on a stake are King Louie XVI/today's wealthy who take more than they need. It's based on the French Revolution when the royals used up the towns wealth for themselves. The Enlightenment period went on & people began thinking for themselves instead of just obeying and following the royals. Religion was questioned & any form of authority. The Guillotine was invented & much blood was shed.

I think the title "Viking Death March" is a metaphor for "Fight Song"

I think this is about Saint Boniface getting killed in Frisia
