Citadel of Sorrow

from Filler by The Cassini Projekt

/

about

This song is a critique of the arrogance of the banking/financial sectors and the double standards they have introduced into Western societies. It is also about the end of the world and nuclear war brought about by the foolish recklessness of world elites and how their ambition might exceed their competence to control its consequences.

Musically I wanted to write a heavy metal song with dance elements in the style of Rammstein. I also wanted a massive doom metal section and was heavily influenced by Reverend Bizarre with respect to this. The Rhodes piano solo was inspired by In My Life by the Beatles and piano in Rock the Casbah by The Clash. Van Halen was also an influence for the shred guitar part.

lyrics

Life is an eternal war

I weep for the world

For I know what’s to come

Narrating your nations history

Fighting over trivial shit

Pull yourself out of the morass

Because none of it matters.

You think you do know better

Though you really do know less

Lets cast aside the posturing aside for awhile

And get back to basics

In your fucking mind

We’ve all got to act and think the same

Go ahead and pursue an imperial cause

Use the legal system as your weapon

You robbed us of our future

But every action has its consequence

One law for you

Another for them

Don’t expect us

To take you seriously

We’re staring down the barrel

Of an apocalypse

Build your weapon stockpiles for Armeggedon

I reject your society

I reject your self serving laws

I’ll make your privilege my entitlement

They’d rather see the world burn

Than live in a new one

Go ahead and pursue an imperial cause

If you think it’ll make you feel better

You robbed us of our own future

But every action has its consequence

You are invited

To the end of the world

This song is for all you people out there

The face of justice wears two masks

Each generation of autocrats

Thinks that they’re the exception

I have seen the true face of your government

And it is that which they couldn’t stand to see in themselves

A gluttony of oligarchs have taken control

You think you know where all the pieces will fall

Well you better think again

You better think again

You robbed us of our future

You built this citadel of sorrow

Do we choose how to react?

Every action has a consequence.
