Avenged Sevenfold – Hail to the King Lyrics 12 years ago
This interpretation isn't to be taken as either a left or right wing interpretation. On the surface, it could be taken as just another rock bands protest about a generic government's heavy hand of control, censorship, etc...if not for 2 words. The chorus refers to "the one." This is what Oprah famously referred to Obama as in 2007 when she openly threw her support behind him. At the time, she received much criticism for this political stand. Avenged Sevenfold is openly conservative/libertarian politically and those 2 words, to me, clearly point to how the band sees the present political situation in the USA, particularly where conservatives and libertarians feel the current gov. is taking the country.
