Cover art for The Widow lyrics by As Cities Burn

This song is about a son who's father has died, but he never knew him, but even throughout everything he still loves him.

In the first verse he talks about if he (the son) was conceived on with a concious decision or was he conceived in premartial sex, as in an accident. But he'd love him, because he's his father not because of the person he was.

The god the world you love part, is obviously about how god loves everyone despite what happens, an example of what the son should do.

Dead man is it being high.. That refers to how he did drugs, preferable heroin, as in refrences to track marks. The Daddy/father line is exactly what amish said, so i don't have to explain it.

And the last part speaks the same as the 'god the world you love' part, just a continuation for the sake of lyrics.

This is such an amazing/emotional song.
