What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
On the eve of the last night in Baton Rouge
2
On my ship full of soldiers, battered and bruised
3
Well the flames grew high
4
And the bullets, they flew
5
And my brother cried out "Momma save me if you will"
6
We went down down down to the mouth of the sea
7
and she opened right up and she called out to me
8
For a spell my dear
9
listen hard, listen clear
10
this ain't no story of love songs or women or fear
11
There's no time to waste and I can't stay long
12
For the gods up above have a plan to cast off
13
All the burdens of man and the last of the sin
14
That has plagued all the land, made it rotten and grim
15
So my son, my son, salvation lay ahead
16
But the sun will surely rise when we're dead
17
So hallelujah, the lord's ?coming live?
18
Salvation is a bullet in my head
19
The wise man say don't mind if ?she had live?
20
The sun will surely rise when we're dead
21
So the lady of the sea, she spit me up and let me be
22
On conditions that I tell every man and every tree
23
Of the ?rife? was to come and the death that was to be
24
If we'd only pray to god spare us please spare us please
25
So I swam to the shore and I gathered my feet
26
And I grabbed the first child that my eyes did see
27
And I screamed at the boy "You must be strong, do not be weak
28
For the time approaches now, even strong men are meek
29
And all the wars that we fight, they are false and they aren't right
30
They compare not to what will be in our sight
31
For the rocks will cry out "We were right, we were right"
32
And the mountains will crash in the black of the night
33
And the stallions will ride, and the sky will split in two
34
And the beasts will devour the city of fools
35
So my son, my son, salvation lay ahead
36
But the sun will surely rise when you're dead
37
So hallelujah, the lord's ?coming live?
38
Salvation is a bullet in my head
39
The wise man say don't mind if ?she won't live?
40
The sun will surely rise when we're dead
41
So the boy took his fear to the head of the state
42
And the leaders of the towns they all gathered and prayed
43
They sang songs to the lord
44
"Make us right, just make us free"
45
And please bless us with weapons to kill all these things
46
That you hate so much
47
??Need you white ball is clean???
48
Give us money, give us power, give us everything
49
And we'll rise, rise, rise to the top of the sea
50
And we'll both cash out and we'll both come out clean
51
But the man in the towns could not understand
52
All the damage was done, there was nothing they could mend
53
So they took to their homes and they danced one last dance
54
With their wives on their arms as the children did ask
55
"Daddy, what is to come of this life that we live?"
56
"Baby close your pretty eyes, you've got too much love to give"
57
And I did all that I could to be spared of this ?fire?
58
Spread the word of the lord, gave up worldly desires
59
But the lady of the sea could not save me from me
60
And the mouth of the ocean swallowed everything
61
And the rocks cried out "We were right, we were right"
62
And the mountains did crash in the black of the night
63
And the stallions did ride, the sky split in two
64
And the beasts all devoured the cities of fools
65
So my brothers, my sisters, salvation lay ahead
66
But the sun will surely rise when we're dead
67
So hallelujah, the lord's ?coming live?
68
Salvation is a bullet in my head
69
The wise man say don't mind if ?she won't live?
70
The sun will surely rise when we're dead
71
The sun will surely rise when we're dead
72
The sun will surely rise when we're dead
