duel beast
Dirty Trashroad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tied him to Mother Earth,
Bolts break open doors to let the monster free.
Lead balls, screams of fear now fill
The air for what it's worth.
Never look him down with a key.
A bullet hiss through the grey skies,
Go get the hunter, he broke through barbed wires.
Lay an eternal seal on Alcatraz.
IN THE NAME OF, IN THE NAME OF,
IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE
GO SHOOT HIM DOWN!
Power and money buy juries.
Doubts cloud the Judgement Day.
The sentence disappears into the shadows.
Church bells are sounds of bullets,
Bullet hisses in the air.
Millions of people are groanin'.
Cities of people tied down, they're crucified
Nailed on the cross, tied on the crucifix
People in agony, they are sacrificed
IN THE NAME , IN THE NAME OF
IN THE NAME OF CHRIST
LEFT, LEFT FOR DEAD!
'Duel beast lives in the people,
Where they live It lives.
As long as we are, It is. As far as we go, It goes.'
Spirit, spirit, spirit, spirit
Ah... into the Promised Land
Prayin' hands down on their knees,
They pulled the trigger.
Violence and force make them kiss the ground.
IN THE NAME OF, IN THE NAME OF,
IN THE NAME OF GOD
LOOKIN' FOR DEATH!
DUEL BEAST IS SHALLOW
DUEL BEAST IS MELLOW
DUEL BEAST IS HOLLOW
DUEL BEAST IS HERE NOW

The third stanza signifies that justice is often clouded by power and money, leaving millions of people in agony, crucified and sacrificed. The final stanza acknowledges that the duel beast lives within people, and as long as people exist, the duel beast will exist.
The lyrics are a reflection on the corrupt nature of society, where power and money dictate the course of justice. The duel beast is symbolic of the darkness and evil that exists within society, which can't be contained or controlled. The song is a call to acknowledge and confront this darkness, instead of allowing it to fester in the shadows.
