Sorry for my tardiness. But, now we have reached the title track!
Out For Blood
I answer to no one And make no mistake Got my thumb on the pulse of the nation And it's mine to take A whole new world Is in my eyes A land of anger Why must they die?
Out for blood
MURDER...Lashing out, the will to kill, to take a life KILLER...the one who slays, the blood on hand, the face of man SINNER...the word they say, the book obey, d**n you man RULER...the king of man, the will on hand, the one to obey
The weak must abide With power to break down their pride Insanity, confusion presides The weak must fall With power that threatens us all The will to kill them all
You can't shut me out I'm going to get in Got my eyes on the territory And what lies within You pry and pry I won't let you win You try and try I can't give in
Out for blood
MURDER...Lashing out, the will to kill, to take a life KILLER...the one who slays, the blood on hand, the face of man SINNER...the word they say, the book obey, d**n you man RULER...the king of man, the will on hand, the one to obey
The weak must abide With power to break down their pride Insanity, confusion presides The weak must fall With power that threatens us all The will to kill them all

It makes me think of someone feeling almighty, may it be a President/Prime Minister or a simple brainwashed soldier or some young stupid kidz in gangs. It's of today the news of some jerks driving at high speed (and i mean very high!!!) on normal streets, putting at risk not only their lives (who cares of them?!?) but others too.

Thanks again Mrs Mustaine for starting us off with your interpretation this week! I gotta believe we're all gonna be thinking along the same lines with our O4B interpretations. I listen to this track and I too think about the "tip of the ice berg" we are allowed to see when it comes to overt/covert activities related to US efforts in the "global war on terror". The track makes me think of the CIA/FBI's "rendition" program, Abu Gharib Prison, NSA wiretap of all internet traffic in/out of the USA . May you live in interesting times Sadudes!!

Having a 3 1/2 hour commute from Folsom, CA to Oakland, CA yesterday has it's benefits . . I had a chance to run through the SADUS Playlist on my iPOD . . };] This is "the" playlist which covers d**n near all the SADUS Tracks in my vault!!
A few more thoughts to exorcise for O4B~
The Sadudes are spot on when it comes to leaving the lyrics open for interpretation };] The timeless issue of those with/without power in a society lends to the lyrics on this track.
O4B ties together the threads of a "strategy" to neutralize the opposition by means that the powerful have at their disposal:
- $$$
Resources(Oil, etc.) Growing class divide wrought by economic disparity Image & information control Government Religion Technology Militaristic threat
They all combine to shape the extent of the dominant message which is "know your place or you are next".
F.u.c.k that I say! The Sadudes speak for me.

Thanks MrsM,
HeeHee . . . You can blame my "Paw Paw". For as long as I can remember, I've been hardwired to be an "underdog".

I was staring at this earlier today, kicking myself for 1) not having near enough time to give this the interpretation it deserves much sooner than this, and 2) for not having a blasted clue about what perspective this arises from.
Obviously it takes the view of some person whose confidence in his abilities is so strong that he feels nothing can stand in his way. All are weak before him, and all shall fall if he so wills it. And yet, I can't think of what real life character the Sadudes might have been aiming for with this. A leader, certainly, but whether this was an attack on Bush, or someone else, I don't know for sure.
One thing that does bug me is the last line of the first stanza:
Why must they die?
Perhaps this just seems so contrasting compared to the other lines, which seem to show a man who does what he wants and cares not for who suffers. But this sounds like someone who isn't sure of why anyone has to get hurt at all. Leaves me confused.

NES,
O4B Reminds me of my days on the "pitch". I played Soccer for 7 years and it was some of the best times of my life bar none! Anyways, I truly idolized Pele, Bichenbaur, Chenalia growing up. The talent to outmanuever and beat their opponent was amazing. O4B reminds me of when I used to listen to "March of the S.O.D." by Stormtroopers of Death before every match. As a Sweeper, I was given the task to intimidate and outwit my opponent, making them pay for breaking through on my turf. I was out to achieve the 3P's (prosecute, punish, prevail) . . .
Let's just say my slide tackles were legendary for being "brutal" but legal };] I got all ball!!
Italia #1!!!

OOh yah . . ? I forgot to tell you. I played on the Delta Youth Soccer League Under 19 Travel Club called the Titan's out in Antioch/Pittsburg Area. We attracted some of the best players in the region back in the day, including select foreign exchange students from Spain, Japan, Korea. My defensive backfield including the goalie were called the "Death Squad"!! As team captain, I would have the Team chant death, Death, DEATH!!! before every game. We managed to do quite well in Division A ranks with that chant . . .;]
Keep it Heavy Sadudes~

Sometimes I write all the lyrics for a song; sometimes Darren writes them all for a song...and sometimes we smash our brains together and my blue and his yellow run together and the cd booklet has whitin and the printed result of our combined "green". Out For Blood is one of those green songs, started in my head during the day at work and swirled around in a mix of a mulitiude of cosmological facts and memories of braciole...merde...just a prechorus and a line or two to finish a verse...porco dio! then...BAM! Show up to the practice pad and Darren's got some new words that nicely weave into my idea perfectly in his little scribble-filled black book. An hour or two dropping a word here; adding a syllable there...and there it is. Some of them like to finish nicely some like to take there ass time...this one was a stand out from it's inception (should have been the album opener, but there was some trepidation about some of the low, baritone, tuned songs being too much in the forefront - comunque) anyway once these words were finished the working title was scratched off the practice set list on the wall. I don't know if it was the first of the low tuners on the album, but it's first working title was "Seven String Song", evolved into "Severed" from "Severed From Society" which was a derivative of my early concepts and precursor of the O4B topic. Just like in school when one is faced with the daunting task of finding topic matter for the midterm or deciding on a subject for a science report...sometimes lyrics are the same...when all the easy obvious ideas are getting written and there's still music left to scribe on top of. So in generalizing terms, I was, just like any conscience human with unavoidable access to the media oracle...kinda entranced, sick of, couldn't avoid, had to write about, the crap of the world and the crappy ass holes that like to screw with it. Be it, George Bush, Saddam Hussien, Kim Jong Ill, Milosivich (don't care about sp), Hitler, Mussolini, my boss, Emporer Ito, the Liberia guy, Fidel Castro, Yasser Arafat, George Bush, Czesar, Pharaoh, did I say my boss...? Anyway, you can dig it...and remember even though we said we're not a politically involved band, unfortunately we are all unavoidably affected and effected by what goes on in the political side of humanity. I would say '03 and '04 when this was written was a very CNN addicting time. With a lot of our stuff, you can't stand firm on one perspective. "I answer to no one..." is obviously the antagonist, and "Why must they die?..." and "...with power that threatens us all" is protag... Ok, I got deep enough. Peace, SDG

Thank you, wonderful people, for shoeing in with an interpretation or two. As always, it's wonderful to have the Sadudes here and spilling it! ;D By the way you guys, remember to take lots of pictures on this next tour! But now the time is for Lost It All. I'm looking right at you And I know what I'm seeing Looking into your eyes Now it's all so revealing Climbing up the walls Going straight through the ceiling Crushing of the skull Now you can't escape the feeling You've lost it all You got no control Can't cope at all You've lost it all Staring mindlessly into A realm of low esteem Of what amounts to be Your sanity; your reality Taking all that seems to be What is morality* Never knowing who or why Believing subconsciously You've lost it all You got no control Can't cope at all You've lost it all You can't save me...Left alone haunted by the past You can't save me...Future's so unclear nothing left to grasp You can't save me...Corrupted mind unfocused path All is gone It's all wated...Can only see two ways to choose I can't decide...Got everything to lose Save me....You can't save me...Save me....Save me Save me...Save me...You can't sve me...Damn you Remembering all the people, places Things that you knew then Twisting in your memories Now their ghosts are fading thin Voices from the past echoing sorrows To the cold wind Haunting you, calling you Again and again You've lost it all Got no control Can't cope at all You've lost it all *Is it just me, or does this sound like "mortality" rather than "morality"? And don't forget to check out the wonderful artwork on the inside back cover!
