Justice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Paralyzed and possessed by crusaders deceased
Lost to the sirens that call from the turbulent tide
Bound by the science that lives on the lips of the wise
The beating of a million drums
The fire of a million guns
The mother of a million sons
The beating of a million drums
The fire of a million guns
The mother of a million sons
Civilization
Stand aside as they bow to the call of the beast
Tantalized and seduced by the demons released
Cast to the ground by the whim of the merciless sky
Born to the fire that burns in the all-seeing eye
The beating of a million drums
The fire of a million guns
The mother of a million sons
Civilization
The beating of a million drums
The fire of a million guns
The mother of a million sons
Civilization
The beating of a million drums
The fire of a million guns
The mother of a million sons
Civilization
The beating of a million drums
The fire of a million guns
The mother of a million sons
Civilization
The beating of a million drums
The fire of a million guns
The mother of a million sons
Civilization
The lyrics of "Civilization" by Justice explore the power of civilization and its potential for both good and evil. The song begins with the image of a marching army, guided by the drums of the east, which creates a feeling of momentum and relentless energy. The soldiers are "paralyzed and possessed by crusaders deceased," indicating that they are following in a historical tradition that can be both inspiring and dangerous. They are drawn to the call of the sirens and the science that seems to offer solutions to their problems, but ultimately they become bound by these forces.
The second verse picks up on a similar theme, suggesting that people can become "tantalized and seduced by the demons released." They are at the mercy of a "merciless sky" and are "born to the fire that burns in the all-seeing eye." This suggests that civilization is not always benevolent or nurturing, but can be cruel and arbitrary. The repetition of the chorus, with its emphasis on the power of drums and guns, reinforces the idea that civilization is a force to be reckoned with.
