Fields of Mars was a song released by Bad Religion as the sixteenth track on their 2007 album, “New Maps Of Hell”
Songwriter and vocalist for the band Greg Graffin had this to say on the song and album itself:
We traditionally are a band that criticizes the currently-held view or the popular view...
[Verse 1]
In the garden where he was cast out by the lord
Flames an omnidirectional sword
For he as ever failed to gather up the fruit
And thus was banished with his loot
[Verse 2]
He cantered aimlessly through endless permutations of night
Seeking a purpose and the meaning of kin
And when it finally came to him
You could have mistook it for the meaning of sin
[Chorus]
The women wished him well every time he cast off marching to hell
Now if you've never seen a terrible sight, stroll the garden of earthly delights
Maybe we can make it right someday
I'll see you high above the Fields of Mars
High above the Fields of Mars
[Verse 3]
He knelt down before the unholy mob
And cried "war is god"
Gleaming outwardly with great pride
And prepared to die
[Chorus]
The women wished him well every time he cast off marching to hell
Now if you've never seen a terrible sight, stroll the garden of earthly delights
Maybe we can make it right someday
I'll see you high above the Fields of Mars
High above the Fields of Mars
High above the Fields of Mars
High above the Fields of Mars
High above the Fields of Mars
[Bridge]
Who cannot fight anymore
Will never love any less
That kid inside of murder
Must be committed
[Chorus]
To live a life of hostility
Never asking what it means
When mother nation, blood and religion
Sanction killing upon the Fields of Mars
[Outro]
High above the Fields of Mars
High above the Fields of Mars
High above the Fields of Mars
High above the Fields of Mars
High above the Fields of Mars
High above the Fields of Mars
High above the Fields of Mars
High above the Fields of Mars
Fields of Mars was written by Brett Gurewitz.
