Crying Lyrics
Laugh in the face of death under masthead.
Hold your breath through late breaking disasters, Next to news of the trite. And the codes And the feelings that meant to be noble Like coke in the nose of the nobles Keeps it alight. And the wrath And the riots And the races on fire And the music for tanks with no red lights in sight. Got you cryin' cryin' Oh whyin' Oh my my my Gold is another word for culture. Leads to fattening Of the vultures Till this bird can barely fly. And Mary and David smoke dung in the trenches While Zion's behaviour never gets mentioned. The writings On your wall And the blood on the cradle And the ashes you wade through Got you callin' God's name in vain Leaved the damned to damn it all! 's got you cryin' Cryin' Oh whyin' Oh my my my Broken nose, coloured glasses Can't see for the thorns And you just can't stand no more! What a clumsy kind of low Time to take the wheel and the road From the masters Take this car, drive it straight into the wall Build it back up from the floor. And stop our Cryin' Cryin' Oh whyin' Oh my my my Our cryin' Our cryin' Our cryin' Still you try, try, try. |

Then “while Zion’s behavior never gets mentioned, the writings on your wall”
I understand the second part. He obviously disagrees with Israel’s policy towards its neighboring countries and the way it is depicted by the media. I also get the allegorical significance of “writing on the wall” which comes from the story in the Bible about Daniel who reads the handwriting on the wall predicting the end of the kingdom of Babylon. Then the “blood on the cradle and the ashes that they wade through” is a reference to the war and destruction in Iraq which is sometimes referred to as the “cradle of civilization”. But what about the first part? What do Mary and David have to do with smoking dung in the trenches?

I think this line just talks of how Christians and Jews are sort of in the same trench together facing Muslims in the other trench and they're doing this sh** together (smoking dung) when they shouldn't. My guess is that TVotR are just trying to say how it shouldn't be this religion infused war that it has become.

"Time to take the wheel and the road
From the masters
Take this car, drive it straight into the wall
Build it back up from the floor."
Basically saying we not only need to take the power from those in charge but also take all of civilization as we know it, and let this destructive civilization crash as it is bound to do, and then build everything back up and start anew with a different way of living. They seem to be really intrigued by the possibility of the end of civilization as we know- that's pretty much all they talked about in an interview with them I read.

"land, in the face of death under masthead".
this makes more sense to me and becomes a a line about salvation, utter relief, a beacon of life and a ray of hope, when all hope was lost.

Gold is another word for culture.
Leads to fattening
Of the vultures
Till this bird can barely fly.
they are saying that our way of life is bankrupt and we must destroy it and start over new.

I think the lyric in the 3rd verse is "Broken rose colored glasses". Its an idiom that means you see things as better than they really are. Makes sense, no?

Good catch. If you wear rose-colored glasses, then you are taking an overly optimistic view of things. So now they're broken, and a realistic view has come into place.
