The March
Unearth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This moment,
One moment
A time to face hate horror
A clash,
Great clash
The two worlds collide
The power,
Vast power
Each side drives its armies
The solace,
No solace
This is what we've become

The past thou shalt never cross
Things here will never be the same
All bear witness to the gathering of the march

This is what we've become
No solace

This truth,
One truth
The underlying reason
One hope,
All hope
The strength of mankind risen
Our kind,
Their kind
Once one,
Now shattered
Unite,
Unite
We hold the key to tomorrow

The past thou shalt never cross
Things here will never be the same
All bear witness to the gathering of the march





Bring them down
Take it back

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Unearth's song "The March" depict a moment of conflict and tension between two opposing forces. The first verse describes a clash between "two worlds" whose respective armies are driven by "vast power." The tone is bleak and uncompromising, as the repeated refrain "no solace" suggests that there is no room for comfort or resolution in this conflict. The second verse, however, introduces a glimmer of hope: there is "one truth" that underlies everything, and "the strength of mankind" can rise to meet the challenge. The repetition of the phrase "unite, unite" reinforces the idea that only by coming together can humanity triumph over its divisions and differences.


The chorus, which invokes a "march" or gathering of some kind, seems to address both the specific conflict described in the verses and larger themes of struggle and perseverance. The repeated line "the past thou shalt never cross" suggests that the march is a turning point, a moment of reckoning that will define the future. The final lines, "bring them down / take it back," add a sense of urgency and determination to the song, as if the singer is urging themselves and others to fight for what they believe in and not back down.

Unearth is definitely one of the best modern metal bands, despite they're not very popular.

They're underrated and talented as fuck, i fucking love these guys.

WHAT THE PUG

@poopstreek

You made the Husky football blog a couple times a while back, when you were making the Dawg videos... It has been a while. DirectTV's lack of the Pac 12 networks is making a lot of Husky fans upset... I don't have satellite... I had been going to the only bar in my little town to watch the games, but they closed... I think I am going to have to give in and get it. I'm glad I know not to get DirectTV...

@qbsacker5394

i cant get any of the games, i live in arizona and have Directv, Pac 12 network wont work out a deal. Its frustrating :(

@daguitarslayer

What the pug...

@poopstreek

You got mentioned in the Seattle Times for your Huskies posts. This is cool and all, but what happened to the DAWGS posts? You ruled at them.

@qbsacker5394

well i go to the bars to watch the games but in terms of making highlights i need to record the games and edit. No ability to do that till Pac 12 network gets their shit together and signs with directv. I was mentioned in the Seattle times recently?

@poopstreek

That sucks big time dude. Are there bars down there where you can watch? I think the football team has potential to be pretty good.
