Added this picture. A sobering reminder that nature is in charge of this planet. Not man.

                    Slow Suicide

Fault lines rumble, buildings tumble
Everything is falling down
First there's an earthquake, look at the ocean shake
Death and destruction all around

Thousands dead, in the debris
Thousands claimed by the sea
Fuel rods getting hot, a nuclear melting pot
A terrible sight to see

You know what it is
Slow suicide, you can't hide
You know what to do
Just bring out your dead, bring out your dead

Three cores melted down, radiation in the ground
Sea water hotter than hell
Three-eyed fish will be served on your dish
And steak with six legs, as well

Anything grown will will make you sick and moan
Try to find something clean to eat
It won't be long till the fresh water's gone
Then everybody dies on their feet

You know what it is
Slow suicide, you can't hide
You know what to do
Just bring out your dead, bring out your dead

Earth will abide, this mass suicide
If we just learn to leave it alone
A few will survive, barely alive
In a cave they can call their home

I wish I could say, there will be a better day
But I really don't believe it's true
People messed around, brought the devil to your town
Now there's only one thing for you

You know what it is
Slow suicide, you can't hide
You know what to do
Just bring out your dead, bring out your dead

Slow suicide, slow suicide
Slow suicide, slow suicide
Slow suicide, slow suicide

Great lyrics! You should post them. Love the 'bring out your dead' line in particular.

This has a very deep groove. Ambience with a touch of menace. And that flatlining sound fx at the end is the icing on the cake. Really, really good stuff.

[launched]

Cool sounding tune, guys! Compelling groove all over.

Mark

[Speed Demon]

Thanks, Greeny, Launched.

Until those nukes boiled over in Japan, I used to think slow suicide was eating my mother-in-law's cooking.
Funny how perceptions don't change all that much. Her meals and the nukes are still neck-and-neck when measuring the levels of toxicity.

Just one tiny sip of her soup...GONE!
Pygmies come from the jungle to dip their spears and arrows in it.

Thanks, guys.

Chappie did the keys on this one and I did the vocal, guitar, FX and final mix.

The disaster at Fukushima is the reason this tune came into existence.
