Harbinger

actually straight from the words of nathan himself:

America struggles to retain position in a losing battle.. joins a war it did not start for obvious reasons. Weapons and fossil fuels the only commerce for a dying nation.. Slowly the irony creeps into view for our leaders, arrogant and overconfident, That all these deaths were in vain, not because of a realization that greed is a fruitless tree, but of a realization that the battle has already been lost, lost over the course of countless years to sheer numbers and lack of attention to a quietly growing Red China.

Let's watch Babylon fall, our captivity, Vices of the kingdom, exile in luxury..

Telephone and computer upgrades, video game systems, and blaring television sets, all play a part in lulling us into submission. CNN is a capitalist culture's propaganda, and national perception is skewed indefinitely.

Harbinger is about the multiple world power changeovers going on right now.

This song is intense. It sounds like maybe he's seeing it through the eyes of cyrus the great who supposably conquered babylon. Saying stand alone, and talking about watching babylon fall. Or maybe he is looking through the perspective of a Godly figure with this line..

Dance around my altar If you grovel long enough Someday I will let you be as pure

Or maybe he was just bored and writing. Idk. but either way THA owns.
