This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Welcome to the war, a martyr's challenge
Chainsaw brutality tornado strength
King of the diamond, king of the grave
Lawlessness stains black on whitewashed tombs
We're too strong to compromise
Don't be ashamed of your faith
Dear Lord, deliver me from hypocrisy
And surcease the scarlet desire
He wears a slick jacket and gold watch
Her dishonesty has scarred hands
Chainsaw brutality tornado strength
King of the diamond, king of the grave
Lawlessness stains black on whitewashed tombs
We're too strong to compromise
Don't be ashamed of your faith
Dear Lord, deliver me from hypocrisy
And surcease the scarlet desire
He wears a slick jacket and gold watch
Her dishonesty has scarred hands

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Its obivous that it's about keeping your faith..
"welcome to the war;"-the christian war, the everyday christian walk
" a martyr's challenge."-christians are the martyr; the challenge, again, the daily walk.
"chainsaw brutality tornado strength."-sin and temptations stregth, they are strong an dangerous
"king of the diamond; king of the grave."-as someone has previously said, god is the king, and he gives you life, and he can take it away.
"lawlessness stains black on whitewashed tombs."-the christian the is whitewased tomb
"we're too strong to compromise. don't be ashamed of your faith."-their saying the christian needs to be too strong to compromise, keep your faith, don't compromise to what society want you to be.
"dear Lord- deliver me from hypocrisy and surcease the scarlet desire."-their saying lord, save me from the hypocrisy and the temptations and desires of the world.
"he wears a slick jacket and gold watch. her dishonesty has scarred hands."-saying that satan and his temptations look so good with the slick jacket and gold watch, but its too good to be true. "her" is ment to be understood as the sin and temptation...it's dishonest and not what it seems.
i love how all their songs relate to christianity. True believers in christ. And it's unbelievable how many non-believers dont understand the meanings of thier songs...and continue to listen...one day it'll click, and they will either quit listening...or decide to come to god, our "king of diamonds and king of the grave"
I am godfree, but I have and always will listen to their songs. To not listen to a talented band like TDWP because we don't share the same religion is foolish. They have good messages, just like Christianity itself.
I love what suz 2007x said at the end about how so many non-Christians listen to TDWP but doesn't realize what they're about. And how someday they'll realize and it'll all click, and they'll come to God, or quit listening. It's so true. This band is hardcore amazingly awesome. I just started listening to them very recently, I went out and bought their first CD and can't wait to buy the rest. I had heard of them but never knew they were Christian til i started listening.<br /> <br /> But anyways, they kinda remind me of Avenged Sevenfold in a lot of ways. First off, they're hardcore amazing and awesome. But most their stuff is about God and has a positive message. Avenged Sevenfold is the same way if you really look deep into their lyrics. And most ppl who listen to them don't even probably realize it, but they have a lot of Christian roots. Anyways, i just liked the way you put that Suz 2007x, it's a very good point.
