Story behind the song
Tom wrote and recorded ALL the music for this, and I liked it so much that I took it upon myself to fill the vocal void (nobody else was going to do it, and we hadn't picked up Taylor at this point)
Lyrically, I decided to keep things literal concerning the content to facilitate the writing process. The intent was to come up with the patterns and then the lyrics. That they resulted in such compatibility from a first draught grossly inflated my ego, and bestowed upon me a mighty erection. Which I have to this day.
Lyrics
Death circles high above;
Carried by iron wings.
The air itself begins to scream
As horror is unleashed.
No sirens sang of shelter
A city unaware
No pleas to gods were worded
Because none of them were there
Generations erased
Victory demands
A price be paid
With no concern
For life taken away
A faceless toll
Someone elsea€™s problems
Someone elsea€™s war
Something on the TV
Thata€™s not cared about anymore
Someone elsea€™s story
Someone elsea€™s pain
Tragedies past
Coming to pass again
A plague of burning agony
Afflicts malformation to their flesh
No respite from oblivion
Corruption inhaled with every breath
Therea€™s no one left to bury
Only dust and ash
Everything burns
Dust and ash
The city now a ruin
Reduced to dust and ash
A million lives erased
They are dust and ash
