Welcome to Gaia! ::

Here are two links which I find to be rather interesting concerning the Iraq war:

Link 1

Link 2

Both are music videos by my favourite artist Serj Tankian. In the first link, I believe the video to be more important than the song and, in the second link, the song to be more important than the video. Check 'em out.

I'm just going to post the lyrics because chances are you'd hate the music and screaming.

Beneath the Massacre:

4. Regurgitated Lullaby For The Born Dead

Prowling along the edge of misery
Suffocating on hope of better days
Questioning minds fed with the myth of opportunity

Born-dead: Death at birth
Unwanted: Still essential
Exploited: As they want
Born-Dead: But shall rise

Destiny chosen by fortunate ones, wounded for life
Can't become a master when you're born slave
Slavery for the shut mouths

Mortification for majority
So that masters
Keep sleeping in
Their castles built of gold

A child's dream, nothing but dreams,
Will soon start to burn and turn to ashes.
The production equation doesn't bring wealth
For everyone, a thing to benefit the fortunate
Ones/empowered ones. Awake the born dead.

The Acacia Strain: Sunpoison and Skin-Cancer, as well as Brown Noise.

Sunpoison and Skin Cancer

The names have been changed to protect the innocent.
This is poison.
Manufactured for the general well being of the community.
You can kill what you can't see.
What can't be seen can't possibly exist.
Life uninterrupted, undecided, unanticipated.
Manufactured for the general well being of the community.
You can't kill what you can't see.
What can't be seen can't possibly exist.
You call this worldwide destruction?
I call it a mediocre excuse to force-feed pollution as a problem.
Colonize, monopolize, and destroy.
Compared to actual existence, this is child's play.
Screaming for an answer you're never going to get.
This is poison, this is battery acid.
Lies, lies, lies..

Brown Noise:

This is chaos theory simplified and stretched out before a jury.
No warning has been issued.
No compliments have been wholesomely handed out.
The time hasn't been used up until it burns.
Fear the wounded for they walk the earth stronger.
Destroy the loathsome for they only weaken the machine.
Running the tightrope until the rope runs out.
Run it all into the ground, then rebuild.
The constructs on the boundaries we've been given are unfair.
And mother earth doesn't love you.
Our remorse has gone far beyond forgiveness.
Until the rope runs out run it all into the ground.
For when in Rome, we shall do as the Romans.

Thats all for now. Maybe more later.

Cradle of Filth is an Okay Black Metal band. I stopped listening to them a while ago. They just weren't. . .Good enough.

I'll find some Black Metal for you to listen to.

Have you ever listened to The Black Dahlia Murder or Dimension Zero? They're a lot of fun.

Mm. Nymphetamine is one of my favorite songs by them. There was another, but I can't recall the title. I kind of went in and out of Cradle pretty quickly. They also did a remake of a classic song and it was pretty sweet. Can't think of the name though =(

Maybe. It was something involving a guy getting hanged. . .can't recall; I think the original was by Iron Maiden.
