Discover the story of the song > Fair Trade Death March – Rent

The lyrics tell the story of the protagonist walking along highways in different seasons and locations. They encounter hospitals and see the northern lights in the summertime. They also mention the south and describe it as a place with smoke pouring from the mouth of Hell. In the winter, they wander to the mountains and call them by their ancient names. They mention never going home but looking for someone to tell them they are not alone. They mention holy rust and a sacred flood, expressing a desire for transformation. Despite being scared, the protagonist has faced worse things before. They talk about smashing gates, burning flags, and coming with doom to industry.
