This song is about fighting to the last man, knowing that you (or your group/army/village) are doomed to die on this day. Instead of running away from that fate, you stay brave and resolute in the face of certain death. It's about personal honor and not giving up, even when you know the game is over. When they finally manage to cut you down - at the moment of your death - you know you took as many with you as you could, never giving an inch, thus granting you a place in Elysium/Heaven/wherever.
