And, it made me wonder....
As we pillage The Cradle, are we diggin' the grave... of this civilization? Do you know what I mean... like how we watched The Cradle of Civilization looted during the war with Iraq.
After recording the following song, I noticed this quote from the Book Of Daniel:
Those who are wise will instruct many, though for a time they will fall by the sword or be burned or captured or plundered.
Plunder

Depravation,

Degradation,

Destruction!
Chorus
Why all the plundering?
soliloquy:
Such a plunder,
Is it any wonder?
Given the gift of age,
We just pillage.
Are we savage,
The way we ravage.
Leading to the starvation,
Of my soul.
Leading to the elimination,
Of us all..
The cradle of civilization,
Did fall.
Why all the blundering?
You've heard of the Stone Age?
And, maybe the Bronze Age?
Well, welcome to the Damn Age...
And, the damage of the Damn Age.
