Serj Tankian – Sky Is Over Lyrics 14 years ago
I enjoyed reading your interpretation. I liked it. I hadn't even thought about Nukes when I would listen to this song. I believe it goes a little deeper than just one type of destruction to our planet.

Serj goes on to rant about something called Totalitarian Agriculture, beginning at 5:10. lol, wow. When this is typed into Google you get http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story_of_B , this is one of my favorite books. I am wondering why you left out my favorite part of the song

Behind closed eyes lie
The minds ready to awaken you.

The people killing the planet are closed eyed, not seeing what they are doing, but there are people like Daniel Quinn, the man who wrote The Story Of B, that are ready to show everybody what the takers of this planet are doing.

Are you at war with land
And all of its creatures

see Totalitarian Agriculture

Your not-so-gentle persuasion
Has been known to wreck economies
Of countries, of empires, the sky is over

There's your war, that is where the Nuke comes in.
