i've just gotten into these guys even tho they've been around for a while, but this song has some really incredible lines:
"When we find you, we'll skin you alive,
and the cannons will roar as we march to the capitol
dragging your hide"
this is a beautiful and terrible way to show the viciousness of the characters or "warriors" in the song.
also:
"i'll never make love in this town again"
what a great line. it's angry and it's full of heartache and frustration.
the song as a whole, to me, is about the chaos that results when something terrible happens to a country or to a group of people. basically they find a black sheep, whether it's a group of people or a single person, and take their rage out on him, her, or them. it doesn't matter if they're correct or not, they just need someone to blame and kill violently.
the only thing that confuses me is the end of the song where the speaker seems to be losing a battle. perhaps he's a leader type, a general? and his minions finally realize he's insane by the end, turning on him and destroying him instead.
