|
i doubt the blackwater as a defence company idea. in my mind blackwater is an omen of doom which the songs lyrics feature thoughout. 'black birds singing and fish floating on the sea' black birds, crows and ravens that feed on dead flesh always show up before a massive battle or storm. fish floating on the sea, not IN the sea but on it, floating becasue theyre dead. 'No horizon is obscured by the clouds While the bells of the buoys all rang in harmony' =stillness 'Settlements make nary a sound' 'Build a keep and dig a moat,' =fortify and prepair the swollen goat is the blast tyrants flying ship if you look at the album art. FLYING ship, hence 'barnacles barking at the sun' and also... 'The governor he been long gone, anchor dropped on his front lawn' blast tyrant has laid anchor in the local goverments front lawn first, so he ran for the hills 'Can you hear the fife and drums' both instruments traditionally used for colonial armies marching to war 'Bury your treasure, burn your crops' prepair/run albertorss, burdon, the hooker on the shore, whore of babylon. the album is full of biblical referances so this is plausable. Ain't no chance, so don't you try, now everybody got to die all of the above. |
