a quick look at Bronze's verse on Handle the Heights off the new Almighty album Original S.I.N....

i'm doin this in the hopes that at some point Bronze can come on here and clear a few things up cuz there's definitely a few lines i'm unsure of here.....also, i'm gonna be goin over a few other songs from the Almighty album as well very soon..


Handle the Heights
[3rd verse]
Bronze Nazareth


I spit heat-searin', beat-clearin' shots at ya sternum
burn 'em and send Hallmark postcards to the sermon
crazy opening..he throws darts that are so powerful they're searin' from heat and their aimed right at the chest...where the heart is...then when the subject is dead, he'll send greeting cards to the sermon like everybody else..

Dirty vermin wit shiny crowns and the dirty gloves show me 30 rounds worth of love, bringin' in slugs

the kings of the underground syndicates, the head mobsters and criminals, all the 'vermin' show him love for his skills (which were described in the first two lines) by saluting him with rounds of gunshots..


I speak life sentences, trapped in the years
Words escape like inmates from trap between ears

"I speak life sentences" is probably my favorite line besides the final one....so many meanings to that one line..life sentences could mean he spits that real-life shit, the stuff we can all relate to as ppl---but its also like he speaks on the dark and tragic shit like cats being imprisoned for life..

second line is using the same imagery as the first, he's freeing these 'inmates' that were trapped inside his brain...the symmetry as well as imagery (and deeper meanings) between the two lines is crazy..


Practice crackin' sutures, pollution from mutual war
My thoughts on they theater shit like Lincoln on the fourth floor
this one I'm not too sure about at all, especially the second line..i don't even know whether or not I'm hearing it right...there's definitely some heavier meaning to it but it escapes me..


Keep the magnum P.I. on top of it, prophet
Detroit west burglars with murderous logic
pinpoint chest and vertebrae, get burnt through ya topic
Servin' multitudes of fraudulent emcees be the conquest


again i'm pretty stumped...

the last line is of course sayin that the main goal, the conquest, is to serve or bring it to all these frauds that are emceeing nowadays...but besides that I need this one to be elaborated on..


We send warning from gas, harass like mad snacks

when i heard the "snacks" line at first I didn't think i was hearing it right...unless it's "harass like mad snags" which i don't think it is....otherwise I guess its referring to a whole shitload of candybars and shit like that----hard to resist, but i dono about harassing..


We toast we crack glass, smoke hash
through Alaskan pipeline, recite grenades, Bronze sonic mind
Runnin' in front of the grim reaper I'm ahead of my time..


i love the imagery on "smoke hash through Alaskan pipeline" and then of course the final line is one of the best on the whole cd, an absolutely insane metaphor which I don't think even needs any kind of explanation..


Obviously there's alot in the verse I'm unsure of and i also get the feeling that there's somethin goin on with the whole verse that I'm not catching yet but....any suggestions from anyone would of course be welcome...this shit is ripe for interpretation.
