Cover art for Devastation lyrics by Besnard Lakes, The

This is one of the best songs of the year and no one has commented on it? Craziness.

To me this song is the best I've heard written about the war on terror. First song is right after the war, the nation being united in pain watching shock and awe on their TV screens.

Like a nation.

The second verse is a couple years later when the war has lost popularity. Appears to now be about oil and money.

Complete devastation.
