Savatage: Of Rage and War Meaning
Of Rage and War Lyrics
You got civilian planes crashing to the oceans
Airports full of terrorists
Nagi skins anarchists
When are they gonna learn
Better listen to me you son of a bitch
Better disarm those missiles sleeping in...

In the words of Jon Oliva, Savatage's lead singer and co-founder:
"'Of Rage And War' is the band's humorist view of what the political world is all about. Perhaps it's also our frustrated opinion of how it all fits together, which people are top notch, which people are pulling the strings. You shouldn't try to find a whole lot of hidden meaning because first and foremost it simply is an ultra-heavy Savatage song with extremely aggressive guitar parts. The lyrics and music, in that respect, enhance each other very well. It is of course terrifying to have to live with the thought that somewhere in this world a lunatic needs only to touch the wrong button in order to turn the entire world into an inferno, but at the same time there's nothing you can do about it."
