Endangered species, caged in fright, Shot in cold blood, no chance to fight. The stage is set, now pay the price. An ego boost, don't think twice. Technology, the battle's unfair, You pull the hammer without a care. Squeeze the trigger that makes you Man, Pseudo-safari, the hunt is canned... The hunt is canned. All are gone, all but one. No contest, no where to run. No more left, only one. This is it, this is the Countdown to Extinction. Tell the truth , you wouldn't dare. The skin and the trophy, oh so rare. Silence speaks louder than words Ignore the guilt, and take your turn. Liars anagram is "lairs" Man you were never even there. Killed a few feet from the cages, Point blank, your so courageous... So courageous. ONE HOUR FROM NOW, ANOTHER SPECIES OF LIFE FORM WILL DISAPPEAR OFF THE FACE OF THE PLANET FOREVER... AND THE RATE IS ACCELERATING |

These are the lyrics to the title song from the CD 'Countdown To Extinction' from Megadeth. They talk about a topic that saddens me very much, the destruction of the rain forests all over the world. The shear volumn of mass destruction that goes unchecked is frightening to say the least. I know this is a page about music, but the fact that one of metals top groups put forth the effort to speak out against the devastation that is eventually going to lead to our demise is worth talking about. O.K., nuff said about that on this page. Megadeth is one of my favorite bands, in case you have not figured, but I do like others. Some of the other bands I listen to on a regular basis are... Judas Priest Iron Maiden Ozzy Sabbath The Crue There is so much availible on the net about metal, and I am working too hard on the mythology and religion section, that this will be mostly a link page. I really hope you will read the lyrics above and think about what is going on in the world. I know there are other things that may seem more important right now, but if this destruction continues at its current pace unchecked, my grand-children may not have a place to live. |
