People, this entire album is about the war in Iraq. The general (or whoever) surveys his filthy domain (battlefield, or camp, or whatever). A ''monument to denial and excess'' - the ruins that are left. He's degraded him self to such a low level of morality, that ''there is nowhere left to regres''. If these ruind buildings (walls) could talk they would tell about the horrors that happened. Hateful words of propoganda - just enought to keep the war effort together. But never enough to make it work. All the tongues of soldiers who would speak out against this madness are forked (silenced, kept shut). Next few lines explain the conditions soldiers have to face, easy to understand. ''Poisoned nerves and a bloody antidote'' - Only cure for your ruind nerves is a bullet to the head. (therefore ''bloody'') They said that their priority was to save lives, but Violence is not an aberration, it's a rule. Get it, right? The suffering (beatings) of both sides will continue until those government fucks improove their morale. They don't hate all those trrorists, those fucking jihadists are just in the way of the US's oil, so will be treated as enemys, and shown no remorse. Remorse would be to end this war, send the soldiers home. But when their dead remorse is revenge. Therefore ''Remorse is for the dead'' I'm pretty fucking sure i got the meaning right. |

I think it's very important that people understand, that LoG lyrics have multiple meanings, and can be interpretated diferently. Even individual lines can have a meaning not related to the rest. If looked at directly, it is about the italian mafia code of silence. Yes, it also tells the story of Judas. It is well known, that all songs in this album are, in some way, related to war. This one, I belive, talks about censorship and corruption. ''This is what has been wrought for 30 pieces if silver The tongues of men and angels bought by a beloved betrayer'' -Refering to the government buying the voice of both media and religious figures, to speak approvingly of it's actions and remain silent about certain things the public should know. A ''beloved betrayer'' being, for example, a president. Also: ''Free speech for the living, dead men tell no tales'' -Saying that we are living in an illusion of a democracy. Yes, you have freedom of speech, but if you say something unfavorable about a group of powerfull people, you're likely to wind up dead. But there are also mesages between the lines. For example: ''Words can be broken, so can bones'' -That's about facing the consequences of betrayal. And there are probobly more meanings. That's the beauty of LoG lyrics. You can interpret them any way you like. |
