I can't see what that's got to do with anything.

Or what about the traditional cavalry of Poland that was told to "die with it's boots on" under swift and destroying blitzkrieg that nazi-germany used against it?

It's about predictions of nostradamus: "In 13 the Beast is rising, THE FRENCHMAN DID SURMISE, Through earthquakes and starvation, The warlord will arise." this one is currently playing itself out: "Terror, Death, Destruction, Pour from the Eastern Sands, "

I think that this song, talks abot that if you're gonna die, die with your boots on. it means, if you are gonna die, die fighting even if you are going to die. It kindda reminds me about Mordechai Anielewicz (the boss of the jews rebels in the warsaw ghetto. he kept fighting and died even if all the hope was lost and they knew that they are going to die)

It's about the end of the world and how we should be brave when it comes to the end. The song is based around what various prophets have prediction to be the end of the world.
