The Glorious Sons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You leave your peace at home that's your call
It never paid to be merciful
Come heavy or don't come at all
Come heavy or don't come at all
Been here before and watched a better man fall
I smell the feel on you boy
I will put you down
I will put you down
I will put you down for king and for country
I will put you down
I will put you down
I will put you down if the grave's what your need
You ain't a comrade or a friend
I ain't a brother, I'm a means to an end
In times of war we live in hell
You can't trust a man in war with himself
I'll be the last breath you breath
I'll be the last man you'll see
I'm gonna cut you at the knees boy
Come heavy or don't come at all
I will put you down
I will put you down
I will put you down for king and for country
I will put you down
I will put you down
I will put you down if the grave's what your need
Are you ready
I'm coming heavy
Are you ready to let it all go
Are you ready
I'm coming heavy
Are you ready to let it all go
Come heavy or don't come at all
You leave your peace at home that's your call
It never paid to be merciful
Come heavy or don't come at all
I will put you down
I will put you down
I will put you down for king and for country
I will put you down
I will put you down
I will put you down if the grave's what your need
I will put you down
I will put you down
I will put you down for king and for country
I will put you down
I will put you down
I will put you down if the grave's what your need
I'm coming heavy, ah
I'm coming heavy, ah
I'm coming heavy
The Glorious Sons' "Heavy" is a hard rock track with lyrics that speak to the chaos and danger of war. The song addresses the idea of leaving behind any sense of peace or civility when entering into conflict, as there is little room for mercy or compassion in battle. The repeated refrain of "Come heavy or don't come at all" sets the tone for the song, underscoring the idea that one must be prepared to fight with everything they have, or else not bother showing up.
The song also touches on themes of betrayal and mistrust, emphasizing the idea that in times of war, even close relationships can be fraught with tension and danger. The lyrics "You ain't a comrade or a friend, I ain't a brother, I'm a means to an end" convey the sense that allies can quickly become enemies based on shifting loyalties or battlefield circumstances. The singer asserts their own power and readiness to take on anyone who threatens them or their country, stating "I will put you down for king and for country" and "I'll be the last breath you breathe."
Overall, "Heavy" is a high-energy, intense song that draws on classic rock influences while addressing themes that are relevant to contemporary conflicts both at home and abroad.
Line by Line Meaning
Come heavy or don't come at all
You better come prepared and with full force or don't bother coming at all
You leave your peace at home that's your call
If you choose to come, you should know that you won't be getting any peace here
It never paid to be merciful
In this environment, showing mercy can only make you weak
Been here before and watched a better man fall
I've seen others fail here, even those who were more skilled than you
I smell the feel on you boy
I can sense the fear in you, and it won't do you any good here
I will put you down
I will defeat you and end your threat
I will put you down for king and for country
I fight for something greater than myself, and I will defeat you in service of that cause
I will put you down if the grave's what your need
If you're so determined to fight to the death, I will oblige you
You ain't a comrade or a friend
I have no loyalty to you, and I'm not here to make friends
I ain't a brother, I'm a means to an end
I'm a tool to be used to achieve a goal, not someone you can trust or rely on
In times of war we live in hell
This is a terrible, brutal environment to be in, and there's no escaping that pain
You can't trust a man in war with himself
People's minds can play tricks on them in war, and you can't rely on them to act rationally
I'll be the last breath you breath
I will be the one who kills you and takes away your very last breath
I'll be the last man you'll see
I'll be the last sight you see before your life ends
I'm gonna cut you at the knees boy
I will use whatever tactics necessary to take you down, even if that means injuring you severely
Are you ready
Are you prepared for what's about to happen?
I'm coming heavy
I'm coming with full force and strength
Are you ready to let it all go
Are you prepared to die?

"Heavy"
[Verse 1:]
Come heavy, or don't come at all,
You leave your piece at home, that's you're call.
It never paid to be merciful,
Come heavy, or don't come at all,
Come heavy, or don't come at all,
Been here before, and watched a better man fall.
I smell the fear on you, boy,
Come heavy, or don't come at all,
[Chorus]
I will put you down,
I will put you down,
I will put you down,
For king and for country.
I will put you down,
I will put you down,
I will put you down,
If the grave is what you need.
[Verse 2:]
You ain't a comrade or a friend,
I ain't a brother, I'm a means to an end.
In times of war and living hell,
You can't trust a man at war with himself.
I'll be the last breath you breathe,
I'll be the last man you see.
I'm gonna cut you at the knees, boy,
Come heavy, or don't come at all.
[Chorus]
Are you ready? I'm comin' heavy.
Are you ready to let it all go?
Are you ready? I'm comin' heavy.
Are you ready to let it all go?
[Verse 3:]
Come heavy, or don't come at all.
You leave your piece at home, that's your call.
It never paid to be merciful,
Come heavy, or don't come at all.
[Chorus x2]
[Outro:]
I'm comin' heavy
Ah, I'm comin' heavy
Ah, I'm comin' heavy

Tune stuck in my head all day at work. Its crazy that this is almost a decade old
@baller9334
Yea
@Stonedrag
If these guys can keep it together they are destined for big things. This concept and shock value of the video was a great idea. Let alone the song itself which is addictive and changes your mood when it pops on the radio. Plus their live show is great and the musicianship kills. I sound like a fangirl.
@derawket
FUCK YEAH

@plac1197
I saw these guys play when they were just getting started in Kingston, Ontario years ago.
My brother would go and hang out with them after classes.
I remember the first time I heard them play "Mama", I knew they'd make it.
Keep it up boys! You rock!
