LYRICS
A day that was way, way, way….
Back when you knew what
Knock, knock on my door
There’s a tale of the enemy

Where ya gonna be when the dead come through
I swear
Where… ya gonna be when the dead come through

The Redcoats are coming
The Japs or a Gook
The beat is drumming
Come take a look

Where ya gonna be when the dead come through
Out there
Where… ya gonna be when the dead come through

As borders disappear
The fear you draw near
Will make it appear

Grab a partner
Swing her round and round
Bearded, toothless… non-the-less
You’re doin’ the Hag Rag

Grab a partner
Swing her round and round
Bearded, toothless… non-the-less
You’re doin’ the Hag Drag

Finnish Sniper Simo Hayha
v

“White Death”….
…Simo Hayha….

…credited with 505 confirmed kills of Soviet soldiers….

…accomplished in fewer than 100 days at a time of year… with very short hours of daylight….

…He preferred to use iron sights….

…put a Finnish finish on a Russian Mosin-Nagant….

…highest recorded number of confirmed sniper kills in any major war….

…Fact not folklore….

…Fact a folk lure….

…dressed completely in white camouflage….

…kept snow in his mouth, so that the vapor of his breath would not give him away….

…No scope, no breath….

…No way….

… White Death….
… White Death….
… White Death….

… let us take a shot…
… at changing our age…
… and care a lot…
… about our damage…
… no mirage….
… let us kill kill…
… until….
we are the death of death….

kill kill while there is still until

ABOUT THE SONG
The song is a tongue-in-cheek analogy of the famous Finnish sniper that used a Russian Mison-Nagant riffle to kill Russians (becoming the most famous hidden sniper in history.) In the same fashion, what if we tried to kill killing? What if we became the death of death… by not having any humans kill other humans?

LYRICS
Lookout for the fallout from the fallout
Bits and pieces falling to the ground
Drips and drabs spilling all about
Killed all the pity in humanity

When we drop a bomb, it won’t be long
’till that butterfly’s wings brings these things
Back near me via the chaos theory

Lookout for the fallout from the fallout
Expectations falling all around
Drips and drabs splattered all about
Filling every nook and cranny of insanity

As the fallout rains down
Our river banks overflow
Causing fallout from our fallout
Now, our disaster chain reaction
Has spiraled out-of-control
Shifting Mother Nature’s position from neutral
Shedding her princess gown
For the garb of the undertaker
We don’t want to come to know
The consequence of our devastation
