Reminds me of the phrase that Emiliano Zapata said "I'd rather die on my feet, than live on my knees".
In other words would rather die fighting for freedom (a cause) than live under oppression. This is pretty much what the song is about, in my opinion. Either sit and do nothing or be willing to set fire to yourself (fight) for your freedom!
