Stone Cold Killers Lyrics
Think about the sorrow
You brought
Think of all the horror
You made
Lying to a world
That you wrought
Dying for the world - oh
That you made
What'd you get for
Souls that you bought
The bloody dead in the trades
Don't never blame
The souls that you lost - on
The whores of Babylon
That you laid
Johnny get your guns
You'll need all of those prophets you pray
Oh yeah Johnny get your guns
I've come to kill the god that you made
I'm gonna murder superman
Murder superman
Stone cold killer's what I am
Your widowmaking ones come
You can't hide
I'm gonna murder superman
Murder superman
I got a heart breaker in my hands
Yeah here I come
Oh - You're gonna die
Your lying messiah you know isn't real
How will you die for the one that you kneel
Better get your guns
I'm gonna kill your god
My God will kill your god
You brought
Think of all the horror
You made
Lying to a world
That you wrought
Dying for the world - oh
That you made
Souls that you bought
The bloody dead in the trades
Don't never blame
The souls that you lost - on
The whores of Babylon
That you laid
You'll need all of those prophets you pray
Oh yeah Johnny get your guns
I've come to kill the god that you made
Murder superman
Stone cold killer's what I am
Your widowmaking ones come
You can't hide
I'm gonna murder superman
Murder superman
I got a heart breaker in my hands
Yeah here I come
Oh - You're gonna die
How will you die for the one that you kneel
Better get your guns
I'm gonna kill your god
My God will kill your god

The song (along with the album Dying For The World) is about the 9/11 World Trade Centre Bombing. This song in particular is directed at the hijackers themselves.
First verse self explanatory asking them to think about the horror they brought and the lie they believe (presumably they believe they'll become martyr's and revered in heaven).
2nd verse asking them what did they get (the old fabled 57 virgins?) for the bloody dead in the trades (the World Trade Towers) and telling them don't blame their dead (fanatics like them) "on the whores of Babylon you laid". Babylon was an old civilization taking in part of Syria, Iraq and Iran and the whore of babylon is mentioned in the book of revelations to whom the kings of the earth allegedly got drunk fornicating with her. There's also a literal connection in that a lot of the Islamic terrorists come from Syria, Iran and Iraq which is modern Babylon. So don't blame their dead on the fact they were killing people for years.
Bridge - "Johnny get your guns" literally a call to arms for either the American people or could be the military as the song "one" by Metallica has the video from an old war film called Johnny got his gun. "You'll need all those Prophets you pay" They (the terrorists and their handlers/collegues) will need to start praying to their prophets (because johnny has his gun) "I'm gonna kill the god that you made" Blackie is a devout Christian so literally he is saying their interpretation of God is made up. Chorus - I'm gonna murder Superman (Superman being what the terorists believ Osama Bin laden was) Stone Cold Killer's what i am (self explanatory) your widowmakers gonna come you can't hide (widowmaker is the Armlaite AR18 which is an American infantry weapon).
last verse pretty self explanatory Blackie is saying the Prophet Mohammed is a liar and isn't real (remember he is devout Christian) "How will you die for the one that you kneel" - basically choose how you (Islamic Terrorists)want to die. "Better get your guns" (because the American Army/Air force) is coming "My god will kill your god" Blackie's God (remember devout Christian) will kill Allah.
Well that's my interpretation.
Though i should point out these are NOT my beliefs. I am not a religous man and i mean no offence to the Prophet, Allah, Muslims & Islamic people around the world, God, Christians or other people of Faith around the world & the American Military.
This song is someone else's writing and if you take offence then take it up with Blackie Lawless but before you do bear in mind he's 6' 5" and built with it!!.
