In the Footsteps of Mars
In the Footsteps of Mars: Unveiling the Soul of Earth in the Iron Embrace
Lyrics
Archaic fields glow in light
Archaic fields illuminated by light.
Produced by grinding mechanics
Creation facilitated by grinding mechanics.
Inspired by one, great and red
Inspired by a singular, powerful, and red entity.
What was, is, and meant to be
Reflecting what was, is, and what destiny intends.
Lay bare the soul of the earth
Reveal the essence or core of the Earth.
Throngs of war
Masses engaged in war.
Tremble its ground
The ground quivers with fear or anticipation.
Spirits of iron
Spirits associated with strength and endurance.
Grinding
The act of grinding, possibly representing labor or industry.
Suffering
Enduring pain or hardship.
Spikes to north, south, east, and west!
Sharp projections in all directions, symbolizing aggression.
Poisoning man!
Poisoning humanity, likely metaphorically.
Forcing mortals to weep and to scheme!
Compelling mortals to sorrow and plot.
And beg
Begging for basic necessities.
For water and air
Pleading for water and air.
A chance to be exalted above death!
Aspiring to transcend death.
Blanketed in an exuberant red glow
Enveloped in a vibrant red radiance.
Etched into history
Recorded in the annals of history.
Under the power of Mars
Subject to the influence or dominion of Mars.
In the footsteps of the great persecutor
Following the path of a significant persecutor.
and his many works
In service to the great persecutor and his creations.
In service of iron
Dedicated to the power of iron.
In service of iron
Commitment to the cause of iron.
Advancing the fortress
Advancing a stronghold or fortress.
With impious compulsion
Moving forward with irreverent coercion.
The hand and the staff they scratch away the fields
The hand and the staff causing harm to the fields.
Tuum est proximus
"Yours is next," possibly signifying a threat or impending consequence.
