Prepare the Masses
War of Hearts: A Tragic Tale of Love and Revenge
Lyrics
Prepare the masses 'cause this means war
Preparing the masses for a conflict or battle.
And if it's a fight they want, we'll bring the hell they're looking for
Willingness to engage in intense confrontation if provoked.
With bullets blazing, the cowards hit the floor
Using force against those who are cowardly.
Stand up and fight like men, let God decide who's goin'
Encouragement to stand up and fight bravely, leaving the outcome to fate or a higher power.
Now sit back and watch the story unfold
Observing the unfolding events.
Of the fair Juliet and her Romeo
Referencing the classic story of Romeo and Juliet.
Two young lovers with one heartbeat
Describing the unity between two young lovers.
In their devoted grave is where they'll sleep
Expressing that they'll be united even in death.
They are the passion in a city of hate
Being the embodiment of love amidst a hostile environment.
Watching two families quarrel, ruining lover's fate
Watching conflicts tear apart the destinies of lovers.
You are the ones who took your children's lives
Blaming the older generation for the tragic fate of their children.
See your two martyr's dying in love's true light, light
Seeing the two lovers as martyrs who died for their love.
Sing me to sleep tonight, sweet Juliet
Yearning for peace through death, referring to Juliet.
Two star-crossed lovers married, looking for regrets
Describing the regret of two lovers bound by fate.
By daybreak I'll be gone and searching for your kiss
Leaving before morning, seeking one last kiss.
Leave me a drop of poison waiting on your lips
Symbolically asking for a final, deadly kiss.
In every war there will be casualties
Acknowledging casualties in any conflict or war.
Even family members and best friends bleed
Even close ones suffer in the midst of war.
Another tally on the body count
Adding to the count of casualties.
So how many more until we're all bled out?
Questioning how many more have to die until the conflict ends.
Let's not forget about this tale of love
Retelling the tragic love story.
Replay the story as it's told to us
Replaying the narrative as it's passed down.
Life is precious but worth giving away
Valuing life but willing to sacrifice it for beauty and hope.
For ideals of beauty and better days, days
Believing in the ideals of beauty and better days despite sacrifices.
Sing me to sleep tonight, sweet Juliet
Requesting to be comforted by thoughts of Juliet.
Two star-crossed lovers married, looking for regrets
Reflecting on the destiny of the star-crossed lovers.
By daybreak I'll be gone and searching for your kiss
Anticipating departure in the morning and seeking a final kiss.
Leave me a drop of poison waiting on your lips
Asking for a deadly symbol of affection.
I'm killing cousins, revenge I seek
Expressing a desire for vengeance even against family.
In fair Verona I will lay him down, down to sleep
Referencing the setting of the tragic tale.
In desperation, poison becomes
Describing how desperation leads to deadly choices.
This story's ending in a tomb of lover's trust, trust
Concluding that the tragic story ends in the trust of lovers in death.
Sing me to sleep tonight, sweet Juliet
Repeating the desire for comfort through thoughts of Juliet.
Two star-crossed lovers married, looking for regrets
Revisiting the fate of the star-crossed lovers.
By daybreak I'll be gone and searching for your kiss
Expecting departure and longing for a final kiss.
Leave me a drop of poison waiting on your lips
Seeking a last fatal gesture of love.
