Death March for Freedom - Marko Hietala

A figure of a walker drawn upon this hill

Leather boots infused with my will

A stranger is the world’s reflection

I look up, I see the stars and find direction

A reject of heaven hunted by unholiness

Eternal struggle, couldn’t care less

The red of my veins against the hunter’s night

In this desolation of white

I am bleeding my way to freedom

Bring your lives to the death I’m dealing

With my heart’s blood, I draw this circle

Unleash your hounds on me

I’m the last thing they will see

Severed heads, a voiceless choir

Spikes on hilltops, let them burn in cleansing fire

Tongueless mouths opening, crying

The eyeless watch me witch accusal mortifying

Perfect discord, a harmony from beyond

Without voices asking why?

Send your slaves, send some more my love

They’re sure to find me and they’re sure to die

I am bleeding a route to freedom

Bring your lives to the death I’m dealing

With my heart’s blood, I draw this circle

Unleash your hounds on me

And I will set them free

Come to me!

The world is bleak, this life is fleeting

In the wake of death a madman stands in greeting

Live here and now earthbound

And wear a grin all the more profound when underground

Sacrifices of this winter take the bait

I am the gallows, I am their fate

I’m dying bleeding my way to freedom

Bringing love to the death I’m dealing

With my heart’s blood, I draw this circle

Let your heart find my

And I shall cut it free

I am bleeding a route to freedom

Come my bride to the death I’m dealing

With my heart’s blood, I draw this circle

There I shall wed thee, together, eternity
