Bringer of War
Tremonti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Armed with my hatred and more
And I'm here to set things right
I am the breaker of chains
The only chance that remains
And I'm gonna start a fire
And I'm gonna light up the world
Then I'm gonna blacken the skies
The slaughter will dehumanize
Draw a line painted with blood in the sand
The only war we could never lose is at hand
Cast the stones, they will all be thrown to the sky
Oh, cast them all and deliverance you will find, yeah
I'm here to set you alight
Now go ahead and run for your life
Reprisal will be mine
Beg for the end if you please
But go ahead and get on your knees
Your master, your design
I'll poison the sheltering sky
Strangle this treacherous world
Search for no light, it is gone
The ending, the ruin has come
Draw a line painted with blood in the sand
The only war we could never lose is at hand
Cast the stones, they will all be thrown to the sky
Oh, cast them all and deliverance you will find, yeah
Draw a line painted with blood in the sand
The only war we could never lose is at hand
Cast the stones, they will all be thrown to the sky
Oh, cast them all and deliverance you will find,
Yeah
Oh, yeah
Yeah
The lyrics to Tremonti's song "Bringer of War" can be interpreted as a call to arms to fight for what is right against an oppressive force. The "bringer of war" refers to the singer, who is armed with their own hatred and is willing to use violence to achieve justice. The singer sees themselves as the only chance for change and freedom, often referencing destruction and ruin as necessary steps towards that goal.
The second verse highlights the inevitability of war and the need to fight or be subjugated. The line "cast the stones, they will all be thrown to the sky" suggests that violence is an inevitable part of human conflict that must be faced head-on. The singer also seemingly relishes the opportunity to punish those who have done wrong, proclaiming that "reprisal will be mine".
Overall, the song's lyrics convey a powerful message about standing up for what is right, even if it means resorting to violence. It suggests that freedom and justice are worth fighting for at any cost.

Tremonti signature riffage with the vibe of Motorhead. Blast of an intro, verse, outro with an amazingly delivered solo of carnage. The chorus is wonderfully melodic and is the surprise in this song. From minor to major tonality, only Mark Tremonti can meaningfully express it.
