Welcome to the war, a martyr's challenge
Chainsaw brutality tornado strength
King of the diamond, king of the grave
Lawlessness stains black on whitewashed tombs

We're too strong to compromise
Don't be ashamed of your faith
Dear Lord, deliver me from hypocrisy
And surcease the scarlet desire

He wears a slick jacket and gold watch
Her dishonesty has scarred hands

    Well, I could be wrong, but it could be about Bush and the War in Iraq. Here's my support.

    "Welcome to the war" Self explanitory.

    "A martyrs challenge" Since many people see Bush's war as a war of Religous Faith, he's saying that it's hard for even Jesus to approve. But I could be wrong, don't bash me.

    "Chainsaw brutality. Tornado strength" Good metaphors, but that's self explanitory too.

    "King of the diamond, king of the grave" Bush is the leader of 'a diamond' the most powerful and richest country in the world. But he's also the person that sends people to die, from their stand point.

    "lawlessness stains black on whitewashed tombs" Refering to the 'unlawful invasion' that costs many soldiers their lives. The soldiers are represented by the 'white washed tombs'.

    'we're too strong to compromise. don't be ashamed of your faith' the former is saying that America is too strong to compromise with the enemy. The latter can be many different things. But in this sense, I think it's telling Muslims not to be ashamed. Though I could be wrong.

    "Dear lord deliver me from hypocrisy and surcrease the scarlet desire", Bush is hypocritical, 'scarlet desire' is his quest for blood.

    "He wears a slick jacket and a gold watch/his dishonesty has scarred hands" Bush, as well as all presidents, wear fancy suits, and often gold watches. "Dishonesty" is the conspiracy that he lied.

    This is pure speculation and opinion, remember. Don't be mad at me if you think I'm wrong.
