| I don't think it's just about foreign policy, I agree with your interpretation and I think that's a part of it, but i think it's more about the society as a whole than just a specific aspect of it. | |

| this song is about the revolution. this is a song about us americans revolting and taking back our governments, it couldn't be more clear. "The fiends have gagged a generation of pacified fools Bound by our greed a nation enslaved as corporate tools. Arise and race the legacy of their lies To realize that this in itself is an ascension Towards the day we revolt." "As the seeds you've cast away take hold War will be born. Rejoice, the age of the fall has begun We'll dance as the palaces burn" he even says "towards the day we revolt" and the part about "as the seeds you've cast away take hold, WAR WILL BE BORN" its war against the government, which is why he says 'the age of the fall has begun, we'll dance as the palaces burn". its saying that are bullshit government is done fucking with us because we're taking it back, so we'll celebrate (hence, dance) as the 'palaces' burn. this song fucking rules by the way, i get fucking amped everytime i hear it and i just want to go give bush a big FUCK YOU. | |

| i dont know how people can be 'all for bush', i dont jum p on the bandwagon of 'fuck bush' but you do realise the usa has killed more people than terrorism ever has. - on the song it is political, i agree with the majority about it being about the bringing down of the present goverment in the us, on the other hand it is just a general rebbelion song; see vigil | |

| Yeah, Mr.Graves, is right, almost all the wars in history began as a result of someones greed. | |

| i agree with you somewhat, but the true source of war is something far more primal. War is caused by the violence you say? in that case you must say to yourself, what causes violence? simple, as long as somebody else has something that somebody else wants, and the person that wants it has the means to take it, he will. Basically, war is caused by people wanting something that somebody else has, instead of simply sharing, it is taken by force | |

| I think Randy Blithe is talking about how the American people are too scared to acknowledge that American foreign policy is wrong, because they would also have to acknowledge that the state of opulence that America lives in, (compared to the places they bomb on a daily basis) is paid for with blood money and that they each in some way have blood on their hands. Randy is saying that it is time for the American people to open their eyes and take action. | |

| I kind of look at this song as an anarchy song. not a 100% anarchy but it definetly leans towards anarchy. its awsome. "We'll dance as the palaces burn." when we revolt against the government. | |

| I don't know if they're really talking about dictators, i think it's more general, just the wealthy ruling class, taking back power from anyone who has it. "Remember that better lives have been lived in the margins, locked in the prisons and lost on the gallows than have ever been enshrined in palaces." Just felt that was appropriate. | |

| Bah, lets not get political here. I'm all for Bush but I'm a huge Lamb of God fan (Got the poster signed by all of em and the new cd signed at ozzfest 2004 NC !!) I think the song is about how the country is full of those who conform to a belief instead of thinking for themselves. This would include both those for AND against bush. What Randy wants you to do is think for yourself, thats the point. War will always continue as long as someone has the power to creat violence. | |
