about

This track is about the history of weapons from the Dawn of Man through present day.

lyrics

In the Age of Stone
I wield my femur bone
The Alpha males have won
The battle hath begun
Oh! The blunderbuss
It will not spare you
Ah! The Gatlin guns
Conspire to tear you
The Battle Hath Begun
There’s murder in my eyes;
Primates terrorize
The Earth must survive
So she will sterilize
Oh! Chernobyl; irradiated
Oh! Hiroshima; obliterated
The battle hath begun
“Friendly” fire nothing you can do
Men never tire of trying to kill you
The battle hath begun
World wars won
Trenches overrun
By the mighty Hun
Of bone and blood and gun
The Human race is run
Since we’re not the sons of Adam
Only atoms of the Sun
The Battle Hath Begun
