The Jackal

about

This track is essentially about stepping into the mind of a war mongering imperialist and parodying them. It’s also about the "strong man" of history who has all the answers and how this appeals to the mob who demand rulership over their lives in return for a sense of security.

Musically its primarily influenced by Nine Inch Nails and Opeth in addition to Motorhead, with respect to the distorted bass, and Reverend Bizarre, in relation to the growled vocals in a strange language, (I will congratulate you if you can tell me what language it is). The song was mostly written while semi awake/dreaming with Nine Inch Nails playing in the background, so effectively NIN is a big influence on this track.

lyrics

Look up to the sky, see the ash eclipse the sun

My response to your question is a loaded gun

I just want to suck the blood out of everyone

While I bark orders dreams remain unsung

My actions here, now, define my progeny

For I’m the coda in a despotic symphony

The armies of the world cower to my will

And I start wars and you collect the bill

I’m nature’s greatest mistake

And I reap from the profits I take

I’m the respectable face of the fake

I always get the biggest slice of cake

I am The One

Nations fall at my feet

The mob wants a king

Ideology is what they seek

The armies of the world cower to my will

And I start wars and you collect the bill

My actions are beyond reproach,

Do you want a piece of me?!

And my aims justify how far I can see
