Savage Messiah explains A Dance with Dragons

1. Insurrection Rising:
Never mind the black horizon
Never mind the approaching storm
No regard for losing pace
No sympathy this time

Fight!
Unite!
Unmitigated fury
Rise!
Despise!
Vindication as the insurrection rise

• The black horizon describes the Drogon, the black dragon that blocks out the sky. The approaching storm refers to the ironborn capturing the north. No regard for losing pace refers to Daenerys Targaryen staying in Meereen. Fight, unite, unmigated fury refers to the rebellion against House Baratheon whose saying is Ours is the Fury.

2. Corruption X:
You swear your life upon the cross
False idols, you would believe
Defiler of the truth
Come forth to me

• This entire verse refers to how many use the gods for their own personal gain.

3. In Absence Of Liberty:
A world held hostage to its god
Ever searching for reprieve
Expendable to the machine
Trapped completely cannot leave

• This verse explains that once in the game of thrones, you cannot quit the game.

4. The Serpent Tongue of Divinity:
 Wrath and perdition directed by wisdom
Now forced to your knees to reap basic needs
What’s right or wrong? It’s just a vision
Mankind created just like your prison cell

• I believe this refers to Stannis Baratheon believing himself to be Azor Ahai reborn.

5. Vigil of the Navigator:
 To see the damned returning and face the disconcerting
Reveals within
The key to self-destruction born out of blind instruction
Distorting true

• This refers to the White Walker hordes fighting against the Night's Watch.

6. Enemy Image (Dehumanization):
 Masters of elimination
Killers of control
They’re bred in violence
Death in their soul and with its instigation
Propaganda’s heart
Strength born from severance
Now fear dehumanize

• The Unsullied soldiers are perfectly explained in this verse, they are the best soldiers in all of the world.

7. Silent Empire:
To build a silent empire
Mired by disgrace
The vacant shadows raise your throne
To mitigate your soul

They scream my name over again
They are invisible and ingrained

• This describes the burden of Daenerys building her own army and gaining the trust of the people of Meereen.

8. The Nihilist Machine:
Rising through the land of the blind
To serve the one-eyed king
Subordination of your subconsciousness
Enslaved by culture and pursuit of success

Wreathed in sadness soulless prevail
Wisdom conceived in lies

• If one is not loyal to the king Baratheon, even if he speaks falsely, they will be punished.

9. He who Laughs Last:
Fight!
Into eternity fall
Fight!
Obscured delusion contorts

Forsaking final agony
To remove total disparity

Into new seclusion
Born out of resurrection
To smote my only enemy
And so he who laughs last
Becomes the vindicated
Eradicates the fallacy

• War never ends in their world, The Stranger is the only one laughing.

10. Zero Hour:
The day has come, The lies are gone
The weakness cries, The sky undone
And all abound, To which lay waste
As reasons lost and in their place

Memories are tainted
The lines that crack the sky
The march to depravation
Assuring no one with their

Words of solace
Cast to the fire
All is lost
With words untrue
They wait in line for the

ZERO HOUR
ZERO HOUR - They wait in line for the
ZERO HOUR
ZERO HOUR - They wait in line for the
ZERO HOUR

• I believe this explains that all the conflicts in the story will bring the world to an end, no more lies, dragons tear the sky apart, armies slaying each other, and the coming of Azor Ahai reborn(which I believe to be Jon Snow.)
