Three Suns And One Star Lyrics
All felt is hope
to spilling over
needs are a passing memory
fear not worthy
belief
a martyr's burden
heaved upon capable shoulders
dissuade your charge
arrive in commonplace with the elect
size up the furthest plateau
inside the souls of saints
or the next trick will be on him
I've drank the oceans dry
I've stopped the time
embraced the riddle
of regret (again and again)
haunt me long
the light of 3 suns and one star
watch over me...
a square will never fit a circle
no hope
no joke
both bookends burned
I've drown in oceans (of) mine
I woke the dead
and still the dry bones
live again
(and again with me)
haunt me long
the light of 3 suns and one star
no higher
keeps us strong
the light of 3 suns and one star
watching over me...
in we... moving within you and me
in deep... our own ideology
naked... frenzied and we're free
our own ideology
haunt me long
the light of 3 suns and one star
no higher
keeps us strong
the light of 3 suns and one star
watch over me...
watch over me
Kickass starter for Over the Under... When it comes to Down its all always about the best riffs.. btw when I first heard this song I thought it could be about Pantera... Phil, Vinnie, Rex - 3 Suns and Dimebag the Star.. who knows?

I think you could be right about that symbolism. but yeah who knows

What i noticed is if you look on the cover of the album, there is the 3 "suns" and the "star" in the mouth of the lion.

I'm certain this song is about an addiction of some kind, and fighting it. I'm not sure what the "3 suns and one star" analogy is, though.
The first part is about quitting or facing the consequences ("or the next trick will be on him "). He's has been experiencing the effect of druggs ("drank the oceans dry", "stopped the time"), and yet still regrets what he has done, though cannot abandon his ways.
The chorus is pretty explantory, but I still can't get the 3 suns one star thing...
The next verse shows how he can't conform to the norms of society (square/circle), and how he is left with no alternative ("both bookends burnded" ).
The rest makes some sense after all that. Anyway, awesome song, definitely best on Down III - IMO, a likely contender for best Down song (along with Ghosts Along the Mississipi).
I believe someone did an interview with him and he said that each person will interpret the songs in his/her own way........To me this song means something totally different and has nothing to do with Pantera/Addiction/Dime......
Leslie in Southern La.
ok heres what i got out of this....
pantera is what the name is about ... but..Phil was the star....suns are stars but closer to us..thats what makes them a sun...Phil was always said to be the distant one..thus making him a star...
alot of people say dime is the star...they are taking the meaning of star in the wrong since...
The old dog has to learn a new trick or more or the next trick will be on him I've drank the oceans dry I've stopped the time embraced the riddle of regret (again and again)
pretty much sums it up..
