51 Days Lyrics
51 Days without a trace or an indication
That his god would soon be here
To take them all away
Waiting for the final day and for the god
Who never came
They all ended up in flames
Moved by the power of a charming leader
With the love of god and the hatred of humanity
Led to a place where he could hide and lead
The blind, only to find, tragedy
Having his way with all the women
Cause his death would soon be here
Living his life in a dream
85 people, 23 children and a lot of the we're his
His to the end, never be free
He promised them eternal life
If they'd walk into a fire
Now we see the charred remains
Apocalyptic funeral fire
I guess he got was he desired
All in 51 days
That his god would soon be here
To take them all away
Waiting for the final day and for the god
Who never came
They all ended up in flames
With the love of god and the hatred of humanity
Led to a place where he could hide and lead
The blind, only to find, tragedy
Cause his death would soon be here
Living his life in a dream
85 people, 23 children and a lot of the we're his
His to the end, never be free
If they'd walk into a fire
Now we see the charred remains
Apocalyptic funeral fire
I guess he got was he desired
All in 51 days

This song is about the cult suicide in San Diego.
actually i'm pretty sure its about the whole fiasco in wacco texas with that david koresh dude. especially since leche con carne came out in 95, and the whole heaven's gat thing wasn't until 97
I agree with guy above me...Waco took 51 days...that's no coincidence
It is definetly about Waco, and the power of a deception that a person posesses
Obviously about Waco and David Koresh, tragic... On a related note: in the liner notes of "The Daily Grind", NUFAN thanks a certain "Dave Koresh" - what gives?
