Son of Sam Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Pat The Baker 

Cover art for Son of Sam lyrics by Shinedown

this is one of my favorite songs on the new album and upperman's statement is most likely the meaning but there may be more to it, and it wasnt a dog that told him to kill people it was just sam carr who was supposly a 6,000 year old man (demon) which i believe sam is one of the devils apocalyptic demons which then explains the talk of war and destruction in the song.
