Davidian Lyrics
Blind man ask me!forgiveness
I won't deny myself
Disrespect you have given
Your suffering's my wealth
I feed off pai~, force fed to love it
And now"I swallow whole
I'll never live in the past
Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast
Burn my fist to the concrete
My fear is my strength
Power, rage unbound strength
Been pounded by the streets
Cyanide blood burns down the skyline
Hatred is purity
The bullet conngcts at |ast
Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast
Scarred
Pour the salt in the wound
I won't deny myself
Disrespect you have given
Your suffering's my wealth
I feed off pai~, force fed to love it
And now"I swallow whole
I'll never live in the past
Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast
My fear is my strength
Power, rage unbound strength
Been pounded by the streets
Cyanide blood burns down the skyline
Hatred is purity
The bullet conngcts at |ast
Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast
Pour the salt in the wound

Every time I hear this song I think "Damn... why couldn't Kontos have stayed with MH?" Don't get me wrong, McClain is a kickass drummer... but this song is just fucking great.
lol, a 30,000 person moshpit? that musta been sweet! MACHINE HEAD KICKS ASS!
This song is about the Waco Siege in 1993 at Waco, Texas. The siege saw state law enforcement officers raid the headquarters of the Branch Davidian religious cult, led by David Koresh. Expecting to undertake a routine search for illegally-owned firearms and serve Koresh with an arrest warrant, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) team was drawn into a brutal gunfight before cult members torched the compound. When the smoke cleared, 82 Branch Davidians - including 28 children - and four federal officers were dead.
this song is awesome
i have a live mp3 version from nyc show i was at when they toured with slayer and biohazard . that show was amazing (i went both nights)
When I saw Machine Head a few years ago...they were touring for The Burning Red, and opened with this song...30,000 people all started moshing at once...I was next to god
this is definitely one of their best songs
yeah, This song i by far the best (or atleast from there best album). I don´t really like the new changes that MH has been taking with the Nu Metal
This is my favorite MH song. But does anyone what a "Davidian" is? I bet i sound real stupid right now.
@sancho it's a reference to David Koresh's cult that clashed with swat in his compound in the 90s. Or was it late 80s? I think the former, definitely during my lifetime. I was pretty young, so I can't remember clearly enough. But yeah, it's after Koresh's first name, David.

im not sure and this is my opinion but it could also be a coincidence but Remember the Waco disaster back a few years,well d group involved in that apart from the feds,the davidians were a far right anti-govt. movement which would also tie in with the "let freedom ring with the shotgun blast"
