about
Inspired by "Sirens of Titan" by Kurt Vonnegut.
lyrics
In the twilight
Shadows lengthen under forms
Of soldiers waiting in olive uniforms
Army of Mars
Under the stars
Looks to the skies
With glimmering eyes
Oo, alright
Say a prayer tonight
For the gentle ones
Crushed by Earthling guns
Fear of death
Dissolves with every passing strain
Of music piped through electrodes in their brains
Army of Mars
Under the stars
Peacefully wait
For their violent fate
Oo, alright
Say a prayer tonight
For the people dulled
By music in their skulls
Boarding spaceships
Bound for Earth, they say a prayer for humans
Fraught with violence and care
Army of Mars
Fly through the stars
They'll be destroyed
They're making a point
Armies of Earth
Set right to work
Requisitioning tanks
The armies fill out their ranks
Army of Mars
Dead under cars
Shot in the streets
Their bodies, hamburger meat
Oo, alright
Say a prayer tonight
For the martyred ones
Their daughters and their sons
Oo, alright
Say a prayer tonight...
Shadows lengthen under forms
Of soldiers waiting in olive uniforms
Army of Mars
Under the stars
Looks to the skies
With glimmering eyes
Oo, alright
Say a prayer tonight
For the gentle ones
Crushed by Earthling guns
Fear of death
Dissolves with every passing strain
Of music piped through electrodes in their brains
Army of Mars
Under the stars
Peacefully wait
For their violent fate
Oo, alright
Say a prayer tonight
For the people dulled
By music in their skulls
Boarding spaceships
Bound for Earth, they say a prayer for humans
Fraught with violence and care
Army of Mars
Fly through the stars
They'll be destroyed
They're making a point
Armies of Earth
Set right to work
Requisitioning tanks
The armies fill out their ranks
Army of Mars
Dead under cars
Shot in the streets
Their bodies, hamburger meat
Oo, alright
Say a prayer tonight
For the martyred ones
Their daughters and their sons
Oo, alright
Say a prayer tonight...
