Scene Of The Crime

Scene of the Crime

​

Well I'd just like to say I was there

At the scene of the crime

Please trust my disgust and despair

At the blood of our time

And I know you must judge us but please

Please you must understand

We were led by the neverbeen people

To a neverworld land

 

Rattled every third bead on our rosary

How we wailed at the wall

Cut down with the crescent and crucifix

Answered every false call

We had sad superstitions and ignorance

We had gods of all kinds

Maimed and mindfucked

All those with the vision

As we pulled down the blinds

 

We had emperors kings

Mullahs ministers

Each one all bled the same

Never stopped to say pause this insanity

That we kill in your name

​

We had tyrants and popes

We had presidents

We had martyrs and fools

And we sharpened the stakes

Of our suicides

Fell impaled on our rules

Impaled on our rules

What's the song about?

​

This song is meant as an apology for my species. "Homo Sapiens". For the countless generations that waged war - intellectually, emotionally and physically down the centuries in pursuit of "Power" .

 

It is written as a "Witness" called to testify on all he/she has seen down the centuries of greed, false information, disinformation, downright lies ..

 

It is a clarion call for those to come..to do so much better...We have left you with the filth of dirty oceans..false Gods..And I for one was there "At The Scene Of The Crime".

 

I am ashamed of the time I lived in. And the people that destroyed my potential happiness. A song for the girls and boys, the mothers and fathers of "Tomorrow"..We fucked up. Sorry. Make it better.
