Medieval
Diecast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bone is thicker than stone, nothing could ever break your skull
Bone is thicker than stone, nothing could ever break your skull
Loose cannons fire as they target shades of grey
Never mind a mind that never evolves from the medieval
Bone is thicker than stone, nothing could ever break your skull
Bone is thicker than stone, nothing could ever break your skull
Then when you pump your seed full of sewage
If you need someone to hate just look into a mirror
There you'll see who will be buried six feet down
Buried six feet down, You're dead and buried
Ignorance breeds ignorance, breeds hatred and decay
Morals and sympathies start to fade
Never mind a mind that never looks to find the truth
Just hold your breath until you turn blue, and never exhale
I'll bide my time, for you to cross the line, cross the line, all it takes is time
Bide my time, for you to cross the line, cross the line and just trip the wire
You feel so justified in actions that you take, fabricating dishonest mistakes
You reap what you sow, the burden that you bear will be inhumane but fair,
It will be fair, it will be fair
Loose cannons fire, as they target shades of grey
Never mind a mind that never evolves from the medieval
Loose cannons fire, targeting shades of grey, loose cannons fire, targeting shades of grey
Never mind a mind that never evolves from the medieval
Bone is thicker than stone, nothing could ever break your skull
Damage is undamaged
The lyrics to Diecast's song "Medieval" touch upon themes of ignorance, hatred, and the consequences of one's actions. The opening lines, "Loose cannons fire as they target shades of grey / Bone is thicker than stone, nothing could ever break your skull," speak to the brutality and unforgiving nature of those who act without thought or reason. The repetition of the line "bone is thicker than stone, nothing could ever break your skull" reinforces the idea of unbreakable strength and resilience in the face of adversity.
The lyrics then move on to discuss the damage caused by ignorance and hatred. The line "Damage is far greater than you ever could imagine / Then when you pump your seed full of sewage" suggests that the damage inflicted by ignorance and hateful actions far surpasses what one might initially think. The line "If you need someone to hate just look into a mirror / There you'll see who will be buried six feet down" speaks to the idea that those who hate and cause harm ultimately bring it upon themselves.
The later lyrics touch upon the idea of justice and consequences, with lines like "You reap what you sow, the burden that you bear will be inhumane but fair." The chorus "Loose cannons fire, as they target shades of grey / Never mind a mind that never evolves from the medieval" communicates the message that those who act recklessly and without thought are stuck in a state of medieval lack of progress and evolution.

I remember being in 7th grade and jamming the sample CD with this song on it. Some damn good times and amazing entry metal music that helped pave the way into the genre for me.
Thanks Diecast 🤘🖤

These dudes crush! Jason Costa is on a par with Jordan Mancino, Igor Cavalera, Charlie Benante, Dave Lombardo and Cory Pierce.
Philippos Kasotis
I never seen a drummer hold the sticks like the old colonial way. I call it that for lack of a better term. He is an amazing drummer, and was great in all that remains as well
Maven of Spook
