(Compassion) As Skull Fragments On The Wall Lyrics
front and center...
ten percent pulled apart vilified tolerate but only to patronize
hang a noose like a crucifix dangles high
leg breaking for your sheep becomes suicide
sticking to your guns provokes an ugly picture
of a child gagging on those same guns
transforming more self loathing youth
from queers to corpses in two seconds flat
you've got correction tape for every transgress
immediate approval for distress
call out your icon from its whites washed tomb
your perversion your blame your truth
trigger finger prints in a pool of blood
pray for us that our sins will come undone
now that you've decided in all of your tirade
that we are not worthy to live
you will burn in hell for everyone you've killed
for every drop of blood that you have ever spilled
diseased and deranged
became a draining mass of death at your request
in your prayers in your speeches you claim our death
ten percent pulled apart vilified tolerate but only to patronize
hang a noose like a crucifix dangles high
leg breaking for your sheep becomes suicide
sticking to your guns provokes an ugly picture
of a child gagging on those same guns
transforming more self loathing youth
from queers to corpses in two seconds flat
you've got correction tape for every transgress
immediate approval for distress
call out your icon from its whites washed tomb
your perversion your blame your truth
trigger finger prints in a pool of blood
pray for us that our sins will come undone
now that you've decided in all of your tirade
that we are not worthy to live
you will burn in hell for everyone you've killed
for every drop of blood that you have ever spilled
diseased and deranged
became a draining mass of death at your request
in your prayers in your speeches you claim our death

I'm not sure what this song is about exactly, I get the feeling it's about some homophobe murderer tho... especially bc of the line that goes "from queers to corpses in 2 sec. flat" and the line about burning in hell for everyone u've killed and so on... I'm really not sure... but it's definately about killing... I still have a gut feeling it's about killing gays tho.. any other ideas? I'll be checking back later to see what other ppl think...
I don't think it is about actual murder but, i think it is about how people say being homosexual is bad and you will go to hell etc.{in your prayers in your speeches you claim our death"}. This makes people that are homosexual feel so bad about who they are that they then take their own lives {"transforming more selfloathing youth, from queers to corpses in 2 seconds flat."}.
this song is actually about how the lead singer of boy sets fire feels about homosexuality, because he himself is a homosexual
he actually is not homosexual, got to love the clowns to spread false rumours, please next time you post something make sure you actually have your facts correct.

damn, this song is powerful. it seems to be about how christianity breeds homophobia. this isn't a topic that i've seen any other hardcore band (or any band, for that matter) tackle. i love boysetsfire...
I think you're all sort of right with this one but if you registered on their message board you would know for sure!
It's about how there are those companies that try to turn gays back into straight people and how it doesn't work and the kids end up killing themselves because they feel like they don't belong anywhere.
By the way, the singer's bisexual, not gay.
dont really know and dont have no time to go through the song either but id say it goes in a political direction. typical for boysetsfire
i think this song is describing the way the American Christian right regards homosexuality and what it's like growing up gay in America (transforming more self loathing youth from queers to corpses).
