Made Of Meat (Download)
Lyrics:
Death-troopers in Afghanistan fall prey to roadside bombs,
Primitive weapons pierce the flesh, and leave a grotesque calm.
Mercenaries of the first world sent off to kill the poor,
Left to die when they’re not needed anymore.
Families in Fallujah crouch in their destroyed homes,
Ears still ringing from the bombers’ drone.
The chaos and disorder, the panic in the streets,
The harshest truth: We’re all made of meat.
We’re all made of meat.

This was the last song that the first (Stealth Von Havoc, Fat Alastair, and myself) line-up of the band learned, and my first attempt to write a song about the way war trivializes human life, on all sides. Soldiers and civilians, we’re all made of the same stuff: meat.
