This song started with the opening riff, and I just continued to build more riffs around it. The words mostly came from watching an alien documentary on the correlation between our nuclear weapons tests/storage facilities and UFO’s. Then I rediscovered the “Atomic Soldier” documentary on YouTube and that was the final straw for finishing the song.
lyrics
go on and teach the lesson
deliver the message
do you think they’ll ever lie to you to win this pissing contest?
you think you’re ready to win the war?
the time has come to take to the underground
begin the trinity test
reaching for our destruction potential
a rapid escalation to retrieve the information
do you wonder if they’ll find you in your sleep?
do you wonder who it might be?
a little too creepy?
holding hands lying dead in the middle of the street
a warning sign, this is not the way to go
is it war time? his blood or mine?
on the brink of the truth, green fireballs of radiation
a war in the sky, begin our fissile nation
