about

Humans are good at creating division and "othering" to the point that they will go to slaughter other people in the name of an incorporeal ideal, while completely ignoring the shared common humanity of all peoples. One could say it's a form of eschatologically-fueled mutually-assured destruction.

lyrics

Some thought it was armageddon
Some thought it was ragnarok
We all ran for our weapons
We didn’t even think to stop

We all heard it on the news
What we do is only right
Hear the war cries from the pews
We can’t lose, God’s on our side

Training children for holy wars
Trade our peace for our pride
Trading children for foreign shores
Win victory with human life

We are the blessed, we are the chosen
To survive the world’s end
Slaughter the foes, they are but demons
That’s what both sides said

That’s what both sides said
That’s what both sides said

When the dust and rubble settled
only ash and blood remained
No one to cry at the gravestones
No tears and no names

Through the rubble and rusted bullets
Stretched an arm green and bright
Reaching up towards the heavens
Reaching up for the light

Over years and mass graves
An ancient forest, it will grow
Shrouding our biggest mistakes
Erasing all we’ve known
