This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Welcome to the war, a martyr's challenge
Chainsaw brutality tornado strength
King of the diamond, king of the grave
Lawlessness stains black on whitewashed tombs
We're too strong to compromise
Don't be ashamed of your faith
Dear Lord, deliver me from hypocrisy
And surcease the scarlet desire
He wears a slick jacket and gold watch
Her dishonesty has scarred hands
Chainsaw brutality tornado strength
King of the diamond, king of the grave
Lawlessness stains black on whitewashed tombs
We're too strong to compromise
Don't be ashamed of your faith
Dear Lord, deliver me from hypocrisy
And surcease the scarlet desire
He wears a slick jacket and gold watch
Her dishonesty has scarred hands

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
This is my take on the song
"welcome to the war; a martyr's challenge": Chaos and death are the nonbelievers challenge.
"chainsaw brutality tornado strength." Lives are ripped apart and we are pushed around
"king of the diamond; king of the grave" People put so much value in worldly possessions, and ultimately it leads to death (sin)
"lawlessness stains black on whitewashed tombs." When people don't have any kind of moral value, or sense of right and wrong, it leads to their death (sin)
"we're too strong to compromise." But God has made us to strong to agree with the ways of the world.
"don't be ashamed of your faith. " Dont view you faith as weakness, because it makes you strong.
"dear Lord- deliver me from" Jesus Save me!
"hypocrisy and surcease the scarlet desire" Save me from lies, and death, and sinful desires.
"he wears a slick jacket and gold watch." Men put so much value in worldly possessions (the temptations of fame and glam)
"her dishonesty has scarred hands." Her sin was paid for by the holes in Jesus's hands
I think he is comparing materialism to Satan.
Well, I could be wrong, but it could be about Bush and the War in Iraq. Here's my support.
"Welcome to the war" Self explanitory.
"A martyrs challenge" Since many people see Bush's war as a war of Religous Faith, he's saying that it's hard for even Jesus to approve. But I could be wrong, don't bash me.
"Chainsaw brutality. Tornado strength" Good metaphors, but that's self explanitory too.
"King of the diamond, king of the grave" Bush is the leader of 'a diamond' the most powerful and richest country in the world. But he's also the person that sends people to die, from their stand point.
"lawlessness stains black on whitewashed tombs" Refering to the 'unlawful invasion' that costs many soldiers their lives. The soldiers are represented by the 'white washed tombs'.
'we're too strong to compromise. don't be ashamed of your faith' the former is saying that America is too strong to compromise with the enemy. The latter can be many different things. But in this sense, I think it's telling Muslims not to be ashamed. Though I could be wrong.
"Dear lord deliver me from hypocrisy and surcrease the scarlet desire", Bush is hypocritical, 'scarlet desire' is his quest for blood.
"He wears a slick jacket and a gold watch/his dishonesty has scarred hands" Bush, as well as all presidents, wear fancy suits, and often gold watches. "Dishonesty" is the conspiracy that he lied.
This is pure speculation and opinion, remember. Don't be mad at me if you think I'm wrong.
dude i thinkthat is awesome i really do, i could never understand this song and you have cleared that one up for me thatnks
Has nothing to do with bush man, nothing<br /> <br /> <br /> Rated 0 "Welcome to the war"<br /> The War Is Between The Christians and the Followers of Antichrist<br /> <br /> "A martyrs challenge"<br /> So many christians gave there lives to protect christianinty<br /> <br /> <br /> "Chainsaw brutality.

they are a RELIGOUS band, not a POLITICAL band,
HOW COME EVERYONE TRYS TO TURN THINGS INTO BUSH?<br /> <br /> I agree with csykgr56
i think that it could make sense in the Bush perspective, but its not what the song is about. just a coincidence.
I thought what you said it meant could have been ridiculous but then you explained it. I don't think this is what the song means but I can see why you could think so.
"Welcome to the war" War = life; the struggle between good and evil; virtue and sin
"A martyrs challenge" martyr = any christian; christians die as christians and promoe christianity
"Chainsaw brutality. Tornado strength" the strength of sin and temptation
"King of the diamond, king of the grave" King = God; He is the King of Heaven(the diamond), as well as the King of the grave, he decides when it is a person's time to leave the world
"lawlessness stains black on whitewashed tombs" Lawlessness = sin; whitewashed tombs = any christian
"we're too strong to compromise. don't be ashamed of your faith" be proud of what you are; a christian
"Dear lord deliver me from hypocrisy and surcrease the scarlet desire" he is asking God to deliver him from and end; he hopes to go to Heaven
"He wears a slick jacket and a gold watch. His dishonesty has scarred hands" The devil "wears prada" is materialistic
I concur.
as do i.
I definately dont agree with the political explanation. I think this song is about the struggle christians have with sin or "the war". Thats what the chainsaw brutatily, tornado strenght means...the power of sin. This is just my spin on it..dont call me an idiot.
That's what I got out of it too. Their lyrics are inspiring.
its HER dishonesty has scarred hands. morons.
THANK YOU good god people
Its obivous that it's about keeping your faith..
"welcome to the war;"-the christian war, the everyday christian walk
" a martyr's challenge."-christians are the martyr; the challenge, again, the daily walk.
"chainsaw brutality tornado strength."-sin and temptations stregth, they are strong an dangerous
"king of the diamond; king of the grave."-as someone has previously said, god is the king, and he gives you life, and he can take it away.
"lawlessness stains black on whitewashed tombs."-the christian the is whitewased tomb
"we're too strong to compromise. don't be ashamed of your faith."-their saying the christian needs to be too strong to compromise, keep your faith, don't compromise to what society want you to be.
"dear Lord- deliver me from hypocrisy and surcease the scarlet desire."-their saying lord, save me from the hypocrisy and the temptations and desires of the world.
"he wears a slick jacket and gold watch. her dishonesty has scarred hands."-saying that satan and his temptations look so good with the slick jacket and gold watch, but its too good to be true. "her" is ment to be understood as the sin and temptation...it's dishonest and not what it seems.
i love how all their songs relate to christianity. True believers in christ. And it's unbelievable how many non-believers dont understand the meanings of thier songs...and continue to listen...one day it'll click, and they will either quit listening...or decide to come to god, our "king of diamonds and king of the grave"
I am godfree, but I have and always will listen to their songs. To not listen to a talented band like TDWP because we don't share the same religion is foolish. They have good messages, just like Christianity itself.
I love what suz 2007x said at the end about how so many non-Christians listen to TDWP but doesn't realize what they're about. And how someday they'll realize and it'll all click, and they'll come to God, or quit listening. It's so true. This band is hardcore amazingly awesome. I just started listening to them very recently, I went out and bought their first CD and can't wait to buy the rest. I had heard of them but never knew they were Christian til i started listening.<br /> <br /> But anyways, they kinda remind me of Avenged Sevenfold in a lot of ways. First off, they're hardcore amazing and awesome. But most their stuff is about God and has a positive message. Avenged Sevenfold is the same way if you really look deep into their lyrics. And most ppl who listen to them don't even probably realize it, but they have a lot of Christian roots. Anyways, i just liked the way you put that Suz 2007x, it's a very good point.
i think that this song, along with most of their other songs and their band name, is bashing materialism and conformity and stuff like that
i love this song its awesome...not sure what it exactly means i kinda get some part but when it gets to he wears a slick jacket and gold watch. it loses me anyone know please tell me
YEA THEIR NOT POLITICAL BAND LIKE THAT GUY SAID THEY ONLY SING SONGS ABOUT STAYING STRONG A FIRM WITH JESUS CHRIST
