The death of the Omega pilots the war machine
We shall destroy the earth
Rebuild it
None shall inherit it
Blood turned into fire
Made to drink like wine
Pile up the countless corpses and on them we shall dine

We praise you, war machine
You've come to set us free
Run us through your jaws
Carry us off in your claws

Cut away body from soul
A slave freed from his master
Closing the spirit's eye to embrace this earthly tie

666 (The number of man brought upon by man)

The earth it shall burn bright tonight in our eyes
The earth it shall burn right into our eye on this very night
Praise the war machine
Burn tonight

    Whoa.

    That was some crazy stuff. Really like the song. As for the meaning, I'm going to have to agree with the opinions here. I need to get this album instead of bumming CDs from people.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
