Cover art for Elysian Fields lyrics by Megadeth

The song has a religious meaning to it.

One last look at visions of flesh The last best hope of man on Earth Pontius Pilate still washing his hands The world don't want to be saved Only left alone

This is when Jesus was on trial. Pontious pilot washed his hands before deciding to put Jesus' life to an end.

It's also about destiny. The elysian fields is heaven.

We are storming the heavens We raise the swords and shields We ascend to our destiny To the Elysian Fields

It can also have the meaning of war. How fighters fight for their land and freedom and most of them die in battle and go to the elysian fields which is heaven.
