| Megadeth – Foreclosure Of A Dream Lyrics

I'm surprised nobody noted the George H.W Bush sound byte "Read my lips, no new taxes" at 2:00. I think the song is about how politicians promise to do things, and perhaps actually intend to do them, but eventually capitalism takes over and money becomes more important than their dream for the country. Their forced to foreclose on the dream to pay for wars, new government programs etc. Money controls this country, you're free to do what you want until they need your money, then the dream is over. |

Edit: Given the themes of the song seem to be Hebrew and Jewish, I don't think he means Jesus when he says Yeshua, I think it's more likely that he means the old testament prophet Joshua. |

Based on research I think the lyrics should be "Malkuth, Geburah, Gedulah" which translates to "The Kingdom, the Power, the Glory" so essentially repeating the 2nd line of the verse in Hebrew. I also think that the intro to the song is Hebrew, probably from a part the Jewish religious service. The Kingdom the Power the Glory is a part of the "Our Father" or the Lord's prayer. When they say "The dragon" I think they mean Satan, when they say "Yeshua" I think they mean Jesus. Israfil is an alternative name of the Archangel Uriel, the fourth one. Uriel also translates to "The Light of God." Azrael is the Angel of Death, the Septuagint is a translation of the Hebrew Bible, I'm not sure what the connection between the two is, although I read that the Septuagint is the first place the Archangels are mentioned. So essentially the song is about the battle between the Archangels and the forces of hell. I am not Jewish, and I do not speak a lick of Hebrew, I found out most of this stuff through research. Loved the song, so hopefully it helps you enjoy it even more as well. |
