Lyrics
Sworn to protect my blood and my flesh
Commitment to safeguarding family members, emphasizing loyalty.
From the harm of another
Expressing the duty to protect loved ones from external harm.
Look after little sister
Specifically mentioning the responsibility towards a younger sister.
Be a good brother
Stating the intention to be a caring and protective older brother.
But the world is oh so cruel
Acknowledging the harshness of the world.
And there is nothing I could do
Expressing powerlessness in the face of certain circumstances.
When things don't go as planned
Addressing the frustration when plans go awry.
And you were dealt an evil hand
Conveying the idea of facing unjust and unfortunate situations.
No excuse for what you've done
Rejecting any justification for the wrongs committed by someone.
You just get a slap on the wrist
Highlighting the lenient consequences faced by wrongdoers.
Because if it were up to me
Expressing personal anger and a desire for justice.
You'd burn like a fucking witch
Intensely expressing the wish for severe punishment, likening it to burning like a witch.
Yeah, if it were up to me
Reiterating the strong desire for harsh consequences if in control.
So you stood before a judge
Describing a legal process where the wrongdoer faces a judge.
And he put you in the slammer
Criticizing the relatively lenient punishment received in the legal system.
You should've stood before a bullet
Suggesting a preference for a more severe punishment, like facing death.
Than stood before a hammer
Emphasizing the severity of the preferred punishment.
If it were up to me
Reiterating the strong desire for a specific outcome if in control.
Sworn to protect my blood and flesh
Repetition of the commitment to protect family, acknowledging past failure.
From the harm of another
Reiterating the commitment to safeguard loved ones from harm.
Well I failed, but never again
Acknowledging a past failure in protecting loved ones but expressing determination for future success.
See you in hell, motherfucker
Conveying strong resentment and anticipating a confrontational afterlife for a wrongdoer.
