Default Rate and discuss: Blood In The Water

Sorry if Seb or anyone else wanted to post this but here we go.

This songs deserves a special thread. Not only I'm interested in the overall rating, I'd like to know everything we know about it. The lyrics seem to address some kind of disillusion with the country Jon lives in. I guess there are stories from interviews some of us caught. Bring them in, please.

I will ask a few questions about some lines which I might find confusing or incomprehensible. I love digging deep into songs.

Edit
Here's the lyrics:

Blood In The Water

A storm is coming
Let me be clear
Your days are numbered
The end is near
The walls around you
Are closing in
It's too late for praying
Sinner meet sin

Once I came across your border
Now they come to take me back
I sleep with one eye open
I don't make waves, I don't leave tracks
For my daughter and my three sons
It's the only life they've known
To me it's my asylum
These stars and stripes my home

Chorus
Blood in the water
Who's jumping in?
The devil’s made his final offer
Now the sharks are circling
Blood in the water
Our fates are sealed
The devil’s greatest trick
Was just to say he wasn't real
Satan always used to love to say he wasn't real

Lies are in the forecast
The truth left with the tide
I hear your shadow sold your secrets
And he's gonna do some time
They say the noose fits like a necktie
Sir, you're gonna fit right in
With some old familiar faces
Sinner meet sin

Chorus

Solo

I'm no cable news reporter
They got nothing new to say
I'm the voice of the new order
The star of "Anarchy Today"
I'm the comments you keep reading
At the bottom of the page
I'm real power, I'm a patriot
I'm a Russian hack by trade
A Russian hack by trade

Blood in the water
Who's jumping in
The devil’s made his final offer
Now the sharks are circling
Blood in the water
Our fates are sealed
The devil’s greatest trick was just to say he wasn't real

Blood in the water
Blood in the water
Now there's blood in the water
Blood in the water
