Lyrically discharge your mouth, Soldier!


This is the song that somewhat inspired me to write the piece about the monuments. This is just a follow up. If you haven't heard it it's on the band Strung Out's latest album Exile In Oblivion. I would suggest you listen to it.

Strung Out
"Blueprint Of The Fall"

Imagine a place where freedoms just a word on the wall
surrounded by the wreckage of towers that could never fall
the company will avenge

imagine the lies like bombs turn the shock and the awe
for justice in time and a land for justice never was one thief
to rule them all along the Potomac and west toward the sea
through the ghettos past the monuments we all built to house the weak
it's the blueprint to the fall of our place in history
the end to what we all believed to be the hope to save this place

and I walk among the flagstones through the graves
an apocalypse is blooming in the sage

dead presidents lined coffin text in biblical unrest
the blind pride home genocide and the secret wars we all missed
it's the blueprint to the fall of the entire human race
the end to what we all believed would be the hope to save this place

and I walk among the flagstones through the graves
* * * *
In our lives I hope that we can be so aware of the pride that goes on in this life. It's nice to honor the dead, but I don't think it is honor to add insult to injury. Enough said from me.
