about

It is a beautiful and horrific time to be alive. This song touches on the harm of the early industrial revolution and its lasting impressions on the region today.

lyrics

All hell or guns breaking loose,
Nature was here,
Night shades,
Carbon ports,
Fleeced everyone.

Fair mitten,
As it used to be,
Nature was here,
Smoking guns,
Half-man,
Half-animal.

Caught the corner,
Of my fleeting eye,
Nature was here,
Forever burned,
In my basking brain.

Burning blazes,
And a smoking gun,
Nature was here,
Conquest of the Old Northwest.

All hell or guns breaking loose,
Nature was here,
Night shades,
Carbon ports,
Fleeced everyone.
