This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Blessed father what is that the gods will for me
Is it their will that I should do this duty alone
I am a slave and what difference can I possibly make
When all I do is what I must so I don't die this day
Home
Let me go home
When death smiles at you
so the father said
There's nothing left to do
Smile back at the death
I will show them blood
They will chant my name
Time for the tyrant to fear
Gladiator protector
Father to a murdered son
Gladiator protector
I will see my vengeance done
In eternity echoes what we do in life
With honor and strength I must keep this true alive
Now its time for justice see the emperor defied
The last wish of dying man
To pursue what is right
Home
Let me go home
When death smiles at you
so the father said
There's nothing left to do
Smile back at the death
I will show them blood
They will chant my name
Time for the tyrant to fear
Gladiator protector
Father to a murdered son
Gladiator protector
I will see my vengeance done
They just don't know they are conquered
They continue to fight
Would we be any different
Wouldn't we bark and bite
For all that we hold dear
For your families and our life
Like each breath is our last
As we fight not to die
In this arena
I who will not die won't salute you
In this life or the next
My vengeance I will have
You turned me into a warrior slave
You made me kill them all
But as time goes you will see
It is just one more kill
Then it's done
Is it their will that I should do this duty alone
I am a slave and what difference can I possibly make
When all I do is what I must so I don't die this day
Home
Let me go home
When death smiles at you
so the father said
There's nothing left to do
Smile back at the death
I will show them blood
They will chant my name
Time for the tyrant to fear
Gladiator protector
Father to a murdered son
Gladiator protector
I will see my vengeance done
In eternity echoes what we do in life
With honor and strength I must keep this true alive
Now its time for justice see the emperor defied
The last wish of dying man
To pursue what is right
Home
Let me go home
When death smiles at you
so the father said
There's nothing left to do
Smile back at the death
I will show them blood
They will chant my name
Time for the tyrant to fear
Gladiator protector
Father to a murdered son
Gladiator protector
I will see my vengeance done
They just don't know they are conquered
They continue to fight
Would we be any different
Wouldn't we bark and bite
For all that we hold dear
For your families and our life
Like each breath is our last
As we fight not to die
In this arena
I who will not die won't salute you
In this life or the next
My vengeance I will have
You turned me into a warrior slave
You made me kill them all
But as time goes you will see
It is just one more kill
Then it's done

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
