Foot to the Throat Lyrics

Lyric discussion by canadianmetalhead 

Cover art for Foot to the Throat lyrics by Lamb of God

"Virginia death threat, Virginia creeper vine. The hands that feed intent, choke the purpose of this time."

Something to do with the foundation of the U.S.A... The hands that feed intent(founding fathers/ sons of liberty/ etc.) many were pretty corrupt, hence "choke the purpose of this time".

As for "Virginia death threat..." something to do with the statement "give me liberty, or give me death." perhaps?

"And in this Commonwealth, There's merely a common concern for self. We hold these lies to be self-evident, As the dividends will reflect."

Clearly to do with the selfishness of the founders. Thomas Jefferson for example was an avid separatist from British colonial rule, and supported the abolition of slavery, yet he owned hundreds... and considered black people to be lesser.

ALSO "The sound of a bell that will never ring

You're just wasting time"

The liberty bell is what they refer to, and it will never ring, they are not forming a state based on liberty, but based on lies.

I don't really know guys I'm just throwing it out there... That's what I got from this song at least :)
