Rung Hollow
Echoes of Chains: Fear and Filth's Powerful Commentary on Human Struggles
Lyrics
Due to be
Anticipating
Sentenced to death
Expecting a severe punishment or consequence
Stepping stones laid
Pathways created
Atop our casket
A metaphor for a coffin or burial site
Bleed
To suffer or emit blood
The waters are rising
A rising threat or danger
Lulled to sleep
In a state of complacency or unawareness
On stale platitudes
Clichéd or overused phrases
Spare me
To be exempted or freed from
Listless avowals
Expressions lacking enthusiasm or conviction
Brand
To imprint a mark or symbol
The mark into the hands of the masses
Imprinting a symbol onto the public
No one to save us
No one available to rescue
Out on our own
Without assistance or support
Dirt
Soil or grime
Under
Beneath someone else's control
Their
Under someone else's power
Feet
Objects that can cause harm or injury
Shards of steel
Cutting off air supply
Severing
Unable to breathe
Trachea
The burden of a heavy restraint
Cannot breathe
Dragging down or causing distress
The weight of the chain
Extreme and deadly heat
Pulling down
Songs expressing deep grief
Temperature fucking
Symbolic of a decisive action
Fatal
Discarded to predators
Arias of sorrow ring
Providing material for others to learn from
With the fall of the axe
Defending no more
Scraps to the wolves
Protection offered to others at one's expense
Bones to cut their teeth
Others gaining experience or advantage through one's sacrifice
Enough
Having had enough of advocating or protecting
Of defending
Structures representing power and authority
The castles of men
Created obstacles or barriers
Who've drawn
Raised barriers without notice
The gate
Secretly erected barriers
Up from behind our back
Behind one's back, obstacles were created
