Discover the story of the song > The Saw Is the Law – Whitechapel

The song is about a group of people in the deep south who live by their own rules and consider themselves the rulers of the world. They believe that their way of life is the only way, and they'll do anything to make sure others conform to their beliefs. They are proud of their scars and see them as proof of their strength. They refer to themselves as a family and want others to join them, warning that they will be in control of their lives if they do.
