Loaded and ready,
Drugged up and steady,
The sight is aligned,
And now is my time!

Day after day,
Humanity slips,
Our time ticks away,
The baited coin flips.
A species of violence,
We fight without cause,
The noise in the silence,
The jump in the pause.

(It's time to end it)
(For the good of mankind)

Loaded and ready,
Drugged up and steady,
The sight is aligned,
And now is my time!

Day after day,
We spiral down,
Find another way,
Try to turn it around.
We're blinded by our light,
A flash in the pan,
Born only to fight,
Why? 'Cos we can.

(It's time to end it)
(For the good of mankind)

Loaded and ready,
Drugged up and steady,
The sight is aligned,
And now is my time!

I can't watch this anymore.
So many suffering.
I'll end it for them.
Then I'll end mine...

Loaded and ready,
Drugged up and steady,
The sight is aligned,
And now is our time!
Ubuntu is an ancient African word meaning "humanity towards others".
This is a very dark song based on a dream I had a while ago...

I have weird and twisted dreams.

That's awesome! It's neat that you were inspired by a dream to write a song. Like Zao's "The Funeral Of God" or my own "And A Voice Descended From Heaven And Told Me To Shut Up".

That was a series of dreams, actually.

Hmm... There must be something wrong with me. I honestly didn't think it was THAT dark. But it IS really good, and certainly dark... just... not the darkest thing I've ever seen. Maybe I...


"No, shut up, Werrwulf, it's really dark. It just doesn't bother YOU."



It's the name that really intrigues me. "Ubuntu"

Ancient African...

Do you know the exact tongue?


I do hope to hear it sometime.
