| Lamb of God – Blood Junkie Lyrics | 20 years ago |

Soldiers are ignorant, uneducated pawns who are intimidated by the 'scare tactics' of... the government? (or whomever it is in your distorted little view of the world).... Riiiiight. Just because you are too much of a spineless little cowardly fuck to serve or even respect those who defend your right to express your asinine opinions, does that really make it necessary for you to slander real men? |

I kind of doubt this is what the writer intended, but it sounds a lot like a (rather jaded) description of the breaking down and indoctrination of a green recruit during Basic Combat Training. Looking at it in that context the lyrics are pretty self-explanatory. A Drill Instructor.... "I will show you all that I have mastered: . . ." haha. |

I have to disagree. I would venture to say this song is about the events immediately preceding 9/11 and the American response immediately after. I think the beginning of the song is about 9/11... "Privileged, a chosen few/Blessed with our time in hell" - The terror cells tasked with carrying out the attacks, 'blessed' with a chance to bask in the glory that is a free democratic republic, of course, to Islamist scum, it's the "Great Satan"--surely a hellish modern-day Sodom. The "shattered hourglass" is the Twin Towers. "It's only getting worse, not worth a moment's regret/Each dawn another curse, every breath a twisting blade/What will be left behind in the ashes of the wake?" - The collective agony the nation experienced in the aftermath of the cowardly attacks. The nation questions what are we going to do now in retribution? "An ill wind blows this way, the edge of the envelope burns" - The "ill wind blowing" is the greatest military force the face of the earth has ever seen, and the savages in Afghanistan (at "the edge of the envelope", in Central Asia, right outside of the Middle East) are about to feel what it's like to be on the wrong end of its wrath. I could go on, but the best part is that change-up after the drum breakdown. The "ill wind" riff is fucken killer. Just goes to show you don't have to have correct politics (or a rudimentary understanding of world affairs or even the basic ability to think logically) in order to make good music. |
