I agree with those saying that this is simply a song about outlaws, perhaps about specific entities but definitely outlaws for sure.
I believe someone else had already mentioned how the proper lyrics include : "We'll burn to best the morning's son"
irrelevant backstory begin (skip if you are short on time)
I am not all that religious, but I was in Jesus School (Roman Catholic school) from 4th - 8th grade and feel it might be worth mentioning that irrelevant backstory end
my interpretation of this is that the persons in the song either feel themselves or know that others feel that they will be condemned for whatever actions they are taking in their "full abandonment of discretion"
Because: "Morning's son", or properly (son of the dawn, son of the morning, or "morningstar") etc. are all titles to refer to Lucifer
They'll burn to best him, their crimes are at least as bad if not worse than his
@FoolishPhantom, I am surprised that you are the only one who brought this up.\r\n\r\nEverything was burning bright.\r\nEveryone was frightened.\r\nYou said, "stay strong."\r\nEverybody knowing that what we\'d invited still remains when we\'re gone\r\n\r\nWhat do you think they\'d invited that would have everyone frightened and would remain behind after these two have left? This isn\'t the first AFI song to reference Morningstar.
