Hell on the Rise Lyrics

Dressed like angels, just off the medicine show
With track marks, painting such a pretty blue
Last one in line for the healing of woes
I can see the faces looking pretty grim
Ambience foretold and now this stone is caving from within
Our simplicity, lost or whatever the cost, you better start running
Ambience foretold and now this stone is caving from within
Our simplicity, lost or whatever the cost, you better start running
Whores with halos, wishing for wings
Your children yearning for their disease
Give us that potion to make everything right
Feel the healing spiking my veins tonight
Give us that potion to make everything right
Feel the healing spiking my veins tonight
You want the pack, we're blazing through
Run for the hills, run for the hills, the south's gonna take you
Whores with halos, wishing for wings
Your children yearning for their disease
Smoke liftin, my mark, on the street
Hell's comin, watch the followers meet

To me, it seems like Dallas is telling how bad the world is today.

The first line of the song basically says that these girls are dressed up trying to look good. Unfortunatly, "good" these days means sexy. So all of these girls on MTV and VH1, how many of them do you actually see all covered up? Our little girls are seeing that and thinking, "wow, that's cool" so they want to be just like them.

wow... I am not sure how much more wrong you could get with that whole theory on what this song is about. First off they don't talk about new things. their whole band is like a theme about Ma Barker and her sons so I'm thinking this song is more about some of the barkers getting into drugs and hookers possibly

Actually, I think slick might have been pretty close.

"With track marks, painting such a pretty blue"

Track marks are the result of using needles to inject drugs. Wanting to be famous/beautiful/popular can be like a drug.

Either that, or it really is about drugs.

"Give us that potion to make everything right Feel the healing spiking my veins tonight"

because of this line. Its either drugs, or us wanting to be like the stars. If you do everything like those MTV whores, you feel like everything is right. You could...

'Whores with halos, wishing for wings. Children yearning for this disease"

Definitely sounds like drugs to me, I mean, look at the impact drugs have on today's youth.

"Smoke lifting, my mark, on the street. Hell's coming, watch the followers meet."

Smoke lifting-smoking. Maybe weed. Obvious. On the street-it's where you get drugs. Hell's coming-there are consequences. Watch the followers meet-they're following a drug. I mean, how many people do drugs alone? It's usually with others.
