Bullet
The No-Counts D.O.M. Lyrics

In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
A harsh rainstorm arrives with strong gusts of wind

See it driving nails
The rain is so intense that it seems to be hammering nails

Into the souls on the tree of pain
The rain is causing great suffering and agony

From the firefly, a red orange glow
A small light shines in the midst of darkness

See the face of fear running scared in the valley below
The light illuminates the fear on people's faces as they try to escape danger

Bullet the blue sky
The metaphorical bullet strikes against the blue sky

In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum
The wind sounds like a swarm of locusts

Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome
The biblical story implies a struggle against a formidable opponent

You plant a demon seed; You raise a flower of fire
Evil actions usually result in catastrophic consequences

You see them burning crosses
The bitter reality of religious discrimination in America

You see the flames higher and higher
The ignorance and hatred spreads completely out of control

This guy comes up to me
A stranger begins to talk to the artist

His face red like a rose on a thorn bush
The stranger has red, prickly features like a rose on a thorn bush

Like all the colors of a royal flush
The stranger has a colorful personality

And he's peeling off those dollar bills, slapping them down, one hundred, two hundred
The stranger is flaunting his wealth and power

And I can see those fighter planes
The destruction of war and violence is visible to the artist

Across the mud huts where the children sleep
In the midst of great poverty and suffering

Through the alleys of a quiet city street
The tragedy of war is not confined to a single location, but spreads throughout a city

You take the staircase to the first floor
The singer enters a building

Turn the key and slowly unlock the door
The artist unlocks a door, introducing an element of suspense

As a man breathes into a saxophone
The sound of the saxophone creates a somber and haunting atmosphere

And through the walls you hear the city groan
The city is suffering and the artist can feel it through its sounds

Outside is America
The world outside of the building is the reality of America

Across the field you see the sky ripped open
The sky has been torn apart due to the devastation of war

See the rain through a gaping wound
The rain is further evidence of the injury inflicted on the land

Pounding on the women and children who run
The innocent and weak are being hit the hardest

Into the arms of America
The singer sees America as the ultimate refuge and protector
