Wear Your Gun To Neverland
Highland Glory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A mighty beast has been unleashed
Doomsday has arrived for the deceivers
In timebomb-temples; loaded prayers
Religions clash jihad's declared
That's the duty call for all believers
Like father, son and the holy ghost
Where do you hide when the walls cave in
Pray to forgive your mortal sin
[Chorus]
Wear your gun to neverland
Another soldier, another man
Victim of religions killing hand
Led into the promised land
Like father, son and brother
Dying for the honor
Hate burns in their hearts, their lives are torn apart
Peace is nowhere to be found
No freedom on this sacred ground
Rage runs through their veins, observing family remains
Like father, son and the holy ghost
Tell me the one you hate the most
Where do you hide when the walls cave in
Pray to forgive your mortal sin
[Chorus]
Wear your gun to neverland
Another soldier, another man
Victim of religions killing hand
Led into the promised land
Wear your gun to neverland
Another soldier, another man
Victim of religions killing hand
Buried in the desert sand
Minds are brainwashed from their birth
To serve Gods will down here on earth
Follow the book by every lie
True believers are born to die
Minds are brainwashed from their birth
To serve Gods will down here on earth
Follow the book by every lie
True believers are gonna die
And the heavens cried a crimson rain
In neverland you'll feel no pain
This war of faith no one will win
Wounds cut deep beyond the skin
Tattoo of terror, scars that never heal
Minds are brainwashed from their birth
Like father, son and the holy ghost
Tell me the one you hate the most
Where do you hide when the walls cave in
Pray to forgive your mortal sin
[Chorus]
The song "Wear Your Gun to Neverland" by Highland Glory is a commentary on the current state of conflict in the Middle East, particularly regarding religious warfare. The lyrics describe the chaos and violence that has erupted due to the clash of different faiths, with references to the "mighty beast" that has been unleashed in the region. The song describes the call to arms that believers feel, with different factions declaring jihad and carrying out acts of terror in the name of their respective gods. The chorus repeats the phrase "wear your gun to Neverland," which can be interpreted as a call to arms, a warning about the futility of violence, or even a reference to the Peter Pan story.
The lyrics contrast the concept of father, son, and the holy ghost with the reality of religious warfare, asking listeners to consider who they hate the most in this context. The song acknowledges the devastating impact of these conflicts, with images of torn-apart lives, rage, and family members who remain to mourn. There is a sense of hopelessness in the lyrics, with lines like "true believers are born to die" and "this war of faith no one will win." The song ultimately arrives at the conclusion that violence and hatred only lead to more violence and hatred, with no clear end in sight.
