Lyric discussion by Bodester 

I don't really understand this one part:

"Perhaps this final act was meant To clinch a lifetime's argument That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could For all those born beneath an angry star Lest we forget how fragile we are"

Everything else seems pretty plain, though. The imagery of "Blood will flow when flesh and steel are one, Drying in the color of the evening sun...Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away, but something in our minds will always stay" is just BRILLIANT.

my guess is that the way to understand this second part is realizing that violence creates something... there is an outcome in that people get hurt.. because people are fragile... the final act then would be denying this outcome... that the rain had washed away this fact.. the rain from a star... the only way to do that would be to lie about it.. a lying star.. right.. a star... in this sense an important person with star like qualities washed it away.. a politician perhaps... only sting knows what he meant.. so .. its just a guess
