Rise Against Injustice: Unveiling the Dark Tale in 'Cast Down'
Lyrics
The wicked plot against the just
The unjust are targeted by the wicked, who conspire against them.
With blood thirsty teeth
The wicked are characterized by a bloodthirsty nature.
They draw the sword to cut down
They unsheath their swords with the intent to harm the poor and needy.
All the poor and needy the wicked boast in evil
The wicked take pride in their evil actions, boasting about it.
And their tongue plans destruction
Their speech is filled with plans for destruction.
They love to speak their lies
They delight in spreading falsehoods and lies.
Devouring words will cease for no one
The harm caused by their deceptive words knows no end.
How long
A question questioning the duration of the wicked's prosperity.
Will the wicked prosper
Expressing a desire for an end to the wicked's prosperity.
They soon
Anticipation of the inevitable downfall of the wicked.
Will be cut down like grass
Comparing the impending fate of the wicked to the cutting down of grass.
Pride serves as their necklace
Pride is described as an adornment for the wicked.
Violence covers them like clothes
Violence is portrayed as clothing that covers the wicked.
Their eyes bulge with abundance
Their eyes reveal their abundance, possibly of material possessions gained through wrongdoing.
As they weigh out
Weighing out the violence they commit with their hands, emphasizing their actions.
The violence of their hands
(No specific information given in this line for interpretation)
In the end they will be cast down to destruction
Predicting the eventual downfall and destruction of the wicked.
In the end they will be brought to desolation
Foreseeing the desolation that will befall the wicked in the end.
