Discover the story of the song > Outstrider – Abbath

The protagonist in these lyrics is a rebel who is determined to face any challenge that comes his way. He is fearless and unyielding, even when faced with threats and curses. He compares himself to a rebel outlaw who takes what he wants, even when it's not given to him. He is unaging and his scars never change, showing that he is unaffected by time. He rejects the idea of being chained or confined, and wants the world to be set on fire instead. He has been banished and rejected, but death cannot defeat him. He sees himself as a mutant, despised by life and denied by death. In the end, he is neither dead nor alive, too rebellious for both heaven and hell. He embraces chaos and defies the expectations of society.
