this song epitomizes the whole theme of Fortress- GODDESS WORSHIP. Although Flidais is an Irish goddess, I'm gettin the vibe that she is Amazonian or Valkyrie-like (look both up and you'll see what I mean). In this song she is characterized as a powerful matriarchal warrior, a "noble huntress of the clan" who in simple terms, will kick your fucking ass if you fuck with her. |

...this rebellion is so justified by Rostam, that they say they will strike mortals down with "sleight of hand" (magic/sorcery); so unstoppable that anyone who "rides against [them] will be murdered where they stand;" so great in vengeance against Shah-Jahan for shaming their village that they will make him pay with PAIN; so driven that they would even go against God, believing that "if heaven rides against us then God himself must be damned!" ...ok I'll stop posting now =) |

...just realized the last paragraph was kinda redundant... anyways, another note: Rostam was a hero of Persian mythology who had seven labors similar to the twelve labors of Hercules (again, all info from Wikipedia). in relation to this song, Rostam seems to inspire the common people to rebellion- "Dispersed about his people, Rostam calls out for his equals in thirst to rise and cast curse, exact the worst revenge on enemies to hang from trees" -that last part, which Rody whispers after "equals" seems to be missing from the lyrics so i'll report it. THE ROYALTY MUST DIE! |

Shah-Jahan was the Mughal Emperor (the Mughal Empire was in India in the 1600s) who had the Taj Mahal built for his wife Mumtaz Mahal. According to Wikipedia, there were rumors that he wanted a black Taj Mahal built in addition to the white one already built. 'It is believed that Shah Jahan cut the hand of the chief architect who built Taj Mahal thinking another such Taj Mahal will never be built again'... 'Although Shah-Jahan's father's (Jehangir) rule was generally peaceful, the empire was experiencing challenges by the end of his reign. Shah Jahan reversed this trend... [and his] military campaigns drained the imperial treasury. Under his rule, the state became a huge military machine and the nobles and their contingents multiplied almost fourfold, as did the demands for more revenue from the peasantry.' -quoted from Wikipedia in my opinion, Bone Marrow is about a rebellion by the common people against Shah-Jahan, who apparently "plundered, pilfered, pillaged" to gain monetary support for his military. His desire for riches and military might caused him to ignore and betray his own people. Shah-Jahan has never known what it feels like to be a common peasant, being born and raised in royalty, never experiencing true hunger. Claiming himself to be the "king of kings," Shah-Jahan has a general disregard for his people ("promises broke like a bone") because of a selfish desire for power, wealth and the expansion of his empire |
