Verse 1

Wanderer's figures, the hills' call, boot leather, my spirit's steed

A strange world, I the navigator, seeing all the stars

Heaven rejects, hell follows, there's only time without sense

There's only the scent of temptation glowing from my veins' red-whiteness

Chorus 1

I bleed my trail into the snow

I let your hounds find me

I paint a rune's circle with my blood

From the midst of death, I deal

I go to wander again

Verse 2

Join the choir of severed heads, the bloodless watch from the tops of pikes

Eyes and mouths gaping, silently screaming, horrifying

Empty harmony, flawless dissonance, wordlessly they ask why

Dear, you only send your slaves for fun, and that's why nobody returns

Chorus 2

I bleed my trail into the snow

I let your hounds find me

I paint a rune's circle with my blood

From the midst of death, I deal

I'm going to free your slaves

To death!

Bridge

A world black with f*ckery, but no worries, they don't bother a madman

Live now, soon you're just a rotten grin underground

The minions must be reaped to pieces, for the sacrifice, thank the winter

Chorus 3

I bleed my trail into the snow

So you would come, and lay me down

I paint a rune's circle with my blood

For I will kiss your neck

Put your hands around it

Outro

I bleed my trail into the snow

I let your hounds find me

I paint a rune's circle with my blood

Come take my heart

To freedom, to death

Kuolinmarssi — Death March

Kuolinmarssi literally translates to "Death March". It's a powerful and evocative compound word that immediately sets a dark, dramatic, and epic tone for the song.

While "marssi" means march, the prefix "kuolin-" (from "kuolema" - death) transforms it into something much more profound and impactful. In the context of a song titled "Vapauden Kuolinmarssi" (Death March of Freedom), it suggests a journey towards freedom that is fraught with sacrifice, struggle, and perhaps even a literal or metaphorical demise, making it incredibly enticing for a learner curious about the song's narrative.

Get ready for a journey into a dark, mythical world with Marco Hietala's "Vapauden Kuolinmarssi," which translates to The Death March of Freedom. This song isn't just music; it's a powerful story told through heavy metal. It paints a picture of a lone wanderer, a rebel, navigating a harsh and unforgiving landscape. He feels rejected by both heaven and hell, guided only by the stars in a strange world.

The wanderer is being hunted, but instead of hiding, he defiantly leaves a trail of his own blood in the snow, daring his pursuers to find him. The lyrics are filled with intense imagery of ancient runes, silent screams from fallen warriors, and a battle against a cruel master who sends his slaves to die for amusement. It's a song about a desperate fight for freedom, where the ultimate liberation might just be death itself. The title says it all: it's a grim march towards a final, powerful release.
