"This is also one of my first Teräsbetoni songs. The lyrics came from thinking of what is sacred to the warriors. Of those the ground felt best for a subject of the song, Metallivaltio [State of Metal]. There is a bit of flavour of national romanticism included, but I would like to emphasize, that the state in question is Metallivaltio and the way each of us sees it. Musically this is typical for Rantanen, meaning melodic with double kick. (Rantanen)"
