This song is about the Waco Siege in 1993 at Waco, Texas. The siege saw state law enforcement officers raid the headquarters of the Branch Davidian religious cult, led by David Koresh. Expecting to undertake a routine search for illegally-owned firearms and serve Koresh with an arrest warrant, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) team was drawn into a brutal gunfight before cult members torched the compound. When the smoke cleared, 82 Branch Davidians - including 28 children - and four federal officers were dead.
