The Reckoning

[Iced In Flames]

What exactly is this song about? All I can tell is that from the artwork suggests that its about a gunfighter in the old west.

 

[DiscipleofTruMetal]

I thought the artwork had something to do with the revolutionary war? hmm... i dunno..but i do know that the ripper's vocals own on that track... i love how he sounds on the verse..its my fav part

 

[Iced Dog]

it's about the war on terror...not sure about the gunslinger pic...perhaps Jon wanted multiple interpretations

If this song had a cool slow solo right after that minimalist midsection, it would be the best IE song.

 

[Rottuated]

Read the lyrics. My guess is that it is directed towards terrorists, Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussien, 9/11, etc.

You went too far this time, for this heinous crime...

True evil broods in you, you're just a brainwashed fool. The coward kills and hides, spewing forth his lies...

If it was up to me, eye for an eye I'd seek. But the high road we will take...

That's the feel I get from it.

It's one of those 'general' song topics that just seemed to fit with the album.

 

[Fuþorc]

I always though it had a double meaning.

 

[-Rivfader-]

If you listen to it backwards its a subliminal message of Pres Bush saying " Kill Bin Laden Join the Army" over and over!

 

[Scythes of Vengeance]

I think it's about vengeance.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

I think it's about catfish.

 

[Iced In Flames]

How many fucking catfish pics do you have?!

 

[Scythes of Vengeance]

I think it's about catfish.

What's with you and catfish?

 

[anonymousnick2001]

I'm just in it for the hottie on the left.
