People, this entire album is about the war in Iraq.

The general (or whoever) surveys his filthy domain (battlefield, or camp, or whatever). A ''monument to denial and excess'' - the ruins that are left. He's degraded him self to such a low level of morality, that ''there is nowhere left to regres''. If these ruind buildings (walls) could talk they would tell about the horrors that happened. Hateful words of propoganda - just enought to keep the war effort together. But never enough to make it work. All the tongues of soldiers who would speak out against this madness are forked (silenced, kept shut). Next few lines explain the conditions soldiers have to face, easy to understand. ''Poisoned nerves and a bloody antidote'' - Only cure for your ruind nerves is a bullet to the head. (therefore ''bloody'') They said that their priority was to save lives, but Violence is not an aberration, it's a rule. Get it, right? The suffering (beatings) of both sides will continue until those government fucks improove their morale. They don't hate all those trrorists, those fucking jihadists are just in the way of the US's oil, so will be treated as enemys, and shown no remorse. Remorse would be to end this war, send the soldiers home. But when their dead remorse is revenge. Therefore ''Remorse is for the dead''

I'm pretty fucking sure i got the meaning right.
