Cover art for M.I.A. lyrics by Avenged Sevenfold

This song is awesome, I think its about the crusades, just becuase of the chorus and avenged sevenfold's tendency to write songs about biblical/religous topics. Great song and great album.

first off, how the hell did he shoot a mother right in front of here son if there were no guns in the crusades? second of all M. Shadows says this song was dedicated to some of his dear freinds in the military.

You are a dumbass naterdogg1. There were guns during the Crusades.

Firearms were introduced in Europe in about the 13th century, there were only very primitive guns during the final Crusades, regardless I highly doubt this song is SPECIFICALLY about the Crusades, however art is up to interpretation so believe what you want
