This song is NOT pro-capital punishment. You'd have to ignore the fucking lyrics to think it is. Lyrics like "execution needed a bloody vessel for your peace" are satirical. You would have to be unaware of the whole sentiment of the band or just plain stupid to believe it is saying "kill murderers". these lyrics do not in any way suggest any kind of conservative veiws on "justice". Read the lyrics.
@jdb actually Bradfield explained that despite this song being extreme right wing and them thinking they were left wing… they realised this after writing it but left it in to show just how confused they and everyone were. He said another band might bin the song on this realisation but that would be whitewashing and represent untruth to comply with their advertised beliefs. They felt it was important to show the dichotomy they were unwittingly guilty of.
