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.
