OKAY, THIS IS TO PASSIONATE_MUSIC USER NAME., AND EVERYONE ELSE OUT THERE. THERE IS NOT ONE VERSE IN THIS SONG THAT DOESNT RELATE TO JUDAS'S BETRAYAL TO JESUS CHRIST SPECIFICALLY! NOT ONE! YES OMERTA IS A CODE OF SILENCE. CONGRATULATIONS FOR BEING ABLE TO USE WIKIPEDIA. YOUR F***ING RETARTED! OMERTA IS LAMB OF GODS VIEW ON HO W JUDAS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TREATED HAD HE NOT KILLED HIMSELF FIRST. JUDAS BETRAYED JESUS FOR THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER! POLITICS AND RELIGION ARE OF THE MOST WIDELY DISCUSSED TOPICS IN MUSIC. YOU THINK ITS AS SIMPLE AS A DICTIONARY DEFINITION? OPEN YOU HEADS! IM A GOD DAMN METAL VOCALIST I THINK I KNOW. HERES THE PLAY BY PLAY FOR EVERY REFERENCE IN THE SONG DISPLAYED BY THE ONLY OTHER INTELLIGENT PERSON BLOGGING IN THIS ROOM: The speach at the start is just a cool intro. It really has little meaning other than the idea that if you are going to fuck with someone, you had better kill them, cause anything less, will just make them angry and they will come back at you, twice as hard. The lyrics are obviously about Judas Iscariot, and the way his name has become synonamous(sp), with betrayal. Every line is an obvious referance to the story of Judas. "you've been talking, I've been all ears" is about how dispite all that he had seen and heard, he still chose greed over Jesus' love. "Words meant to dwell in darkness shall never see the light of day", is kind of the same as the previous quote, it just makes the point, that Jesus's words ultimatly counted for nothing to Judas. "Execute the mandate", I believe is in referance, to the speach Jesus gave, about how 'it would be better for the one who betrayes me, if he had never been born', and this is Judas saying, fair enough, if thats the way it has to be, then so be it... "I am the result, what's better left unspoken" talks about how despite all the good that came from Jesus' words, there was still the 'bad apple' in the bunch, but we prefer to forget about him. (my personal, favorite line in the song): "Mouth full of dirt, your name removed from the registry, St. Peter greets with empty eyes then turns and locks the gates" - Judas was buried in an unmarked grave (hense the 'mouth full of dirt' and the other line "six feet under with no marker") and because he killed himself, he was eternally damned. |

| the song wouldNT reference someone thAT KILLED THEMSELVES AS A RESULT OF HIS BETRAYAL. THATS NOT THE CODE OF OMERTA. IT MENTIONS HIM BECAUSE HE WAS A RAT THAT KILLED HIMSELF INSTEAD OF BEING KILLED FOR HIS BETRAYAL. THE SONG IS THEIR STANDPOINT ON THE WHOLE DARK SITUATION. THEY BELIVE THE CODE OF OMERTA SHOUD BE APPLIED TO HIM | |

| very simplistic view point my man. what do you think the "thirty pieces of silver" comment is about? "tounges of men and angels bought by a beloved betrayer"-Judas. Judas sold jesus out for thirty pieces of silver. | |

| Ok, not to be rude dude. But the "lamb of god" means jesus. Jesus is the lamb of god. Religion and politics are of the greatest of topic in almost any art. the theme is that judas, the apostle that sold jesus out for thirty pieces of silver, should have had the code of omerta applied to him before he had the chance to kill himself. omerta is to keep your mouth shut and not rat. he was a jew rat, he deserved the worst. | |
