Step Into Light Lyrics

Cover art for Step Into Light lyrics by Volbeat

This song, I believe, is about bravery and cowardice on the battlefield, focusing on the aspect that every brave soul faces on the fields of war: Fight and die with honor, or die as nothing but a sack of blood. They mention requesting that their loved ones be informed of their love, and that while they no longer feel pain, they still cry in the absence of their loved ones. Real heroes don't care about fame or kill for religion, but only for their family's safety, but the cowards are not so much called as such because they don't want to fight, but fight because they want to kill.

Heros kill for their family and their country's safety, cowards do it for fame, profits, or in a God's name. Heroes are acceptant of walking towards the light when they fight, but the cowards won't be going there like they imagine.
