Across Iron Fields
Summoner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through the iron fields
Where the sand meets sky
A vast stretch of nothingness
All that's left behind
Then in blinding light
A horizon reveals
Our fate is sealed
Through the Iron Fields
Over desert sands
We march to the sea
Leave behind the sun
There in the distance
Where the land meets sea
Hear voices on the wind
Cry out to me
There on distant shore
I am whole again
The journey to the sea
Has led me and left here
As a deep and thought-provoking song, Summoner's "Across Iron Fields" tells the story of a journey through a barren, treacherous landscape towards a distant destination. The lyrics speak of the burning sun and an endless, empty battlefield with nothing but sand dunes for miles on end. The singer is on a quest to reach the sea, looking for hope and reclaiming what has been lost. In the midst of hardship, the blinding light illuminates the horizon and the mountains rise to the sky signifying that the fate of the quest is sealed.
As the journey continues, the journeyers march over the desert sands towards the sea, leaving behind the scorching sun of the Iron Fields. The voices of the wind echo in the distance, reminding the singer of the destination and the promised hope that lies there. Eventually, they arrive at the distant shore where the singer finally feels whole again, after the long and treacherous journey.
"Across Iron Fields" is a metaphor for the struggles and hardships in life that one must overcome to reach their goals. The scorching sun and the barren battlefield represent the adversities one faces along the way, but the horizon reveals that the destination is within reach for those who persevere.

Sun burns my soul
My soul is aching under the scorching sun
Through the iron fields
Amidst the barren, metallic landscape
Where the sand meets sky
Where the ground below and the sky above blend into one
A vast stretch of nothingness
A seemingly endless expanse of emptiness
All that's left behind
All that is left is desolation and despair
Then in blinding light
Suddenly, a bright light appears
A horizon reveals
The outline of the land becomes visible
Peaks rising to the sky
Majestic mountains stretching up towards the heavens
Our fate is sealed
Our destiny is predetermined and unchangeable
Through the Iron Fields
Across the lifeless wasteland
Over desert sands
Past the dry and dusty dunes
We march to the sea
We journey forward towards the ocean
Leave behind the sun
Escape from the oppressive heat and light
There in the distance
Far off in the horizon
Where the land meets sea
Where the shore kisses the water
Hear voices on the wind
Faint sounds carrying on the breeze
Cry out to me
Calling out my name
There on distant shore
On the faraway coast
I am whole again
I feel complete and at peace
The journey to the sea
The expedition towards the ocean
Has led me and left here
Has taken me to this place and stranded me here
