This song is about military and the war on terror and dishonest governments and things like that. If you look at the actual lyrics given by slipknot. For those of you who actually bought the cd. Instead of this post which barely resembles the actual words, he mentions drilling deserts and purple hearts and alll that jazz. There aren't really any hidden meanings and the song is in no way satanic, as he never mentions the devil or anything religious for that matter. Where this post says "From where the devil fell," the actual line is "but where the temple fell." Could be religious. Could be white house. The bottom line is that this is a government driven song. And these lyrics are way off. If you want the actual words then buy the cd and support the band, rather than download all the stuff online. Have a great friggin day. -shizzle.
