This song was inspired by CNN footage of the invasion of Iraq. Seen through the eyes Iraqi civilians. This song is in 3 sections:
1 - Prelude: This is the fear and apprehension leading up to the invasion. Knowing that just over the horizon, unstoppable forces are gathering and heading their way.
2 - Invasion: The panic, destruction and chaos as they see everything they've built torn down around them.
3 - Aftermath. The civilians sift through the wreckage looking for missing loved ones. The sense of loss, sadness and outrage as they recover their dead - knowing that they were never supposed to be part of the conflict. |
