about

the name is taken from the last stanza of 'the hollow men', a poem by t.s. eliot... a happy little ditty concerning the end of the world as we know it and how we don't seem interested in stopping it... you're welcome...

lyrics

flesh to bone to ash to dust
till nothings left of us but memories - but not of
how much wealth we had procured,
our faded flags or gods and countries

the quakes left fissures on her skin
and still we bore into her fault lines - the tidal waves
left little more than the remains
of america's new coastline

a desert bloomed in the midwest
and wealthy business men bought and sold
the western virginian islands
for time share properties

hotels and shopping malls
sprung up like rotten teeth
and when the heat came
like some roving band of thieves

everyone enjoyed the longer summers
but me

so as the demon winds
whipped across her battered face - nobody saw
their sun tans turned in-
to radiation sickness

our jellied eyes had long before
befallen the sharpened silver tongues of the - advertisers
and the reaper instructed the companies
to prey on our vanity

a cancer seeped out from our hearts
and greed and violence took over
all the love that we once shared for mother earth
and one another

we did it to ourselves
but still we felt the sting
like we were victims of
a cold, evil machine

with seven tentacles
and polished, mirrored face,
with a mouth like seven million goddamn diesel trains
and ears like two cave-ins
and a scorpions tail
and a compulsion to destroy itself
