MK-O : A GALLANT SOLDIER (2008)

Ένα αντιπολεμικό κομμάτι από το άλμπουμ μας Unreel που κυκλοφόρησε το 2008.
An anti-war song from our second album,
Unreel, released in 2008.

You’ve been directed by a distant force
A trooper underneath a sporter
No sin no consequence no nature’s son
Consolidation loves disorder
Open [up] the righteous’ dance
Don’t lose this chance
Stand by the iron men
It’s showdown
Keys triggers and buttoned shirts
Absent friends, investing in their enemies
Stuck on a wheel I can’t control
Big picture, accelerates in empty space

    The ironic refrain, “a gallant soldier and a Christian gentleman” says it all.

      The voice belongs to John Wayne, sampled from the movie ‘She Wore a Yellow Ribbon’.
      Thank you!

        You’re welcome! I never would have pegged that voice as John Wayne’s.

              I’m not sure he would recognize himself. We’ re using technology here!

    Fabulous!
    I love this CD!
    Timely reminding of this song now.
    I’ve started a new Art Gown, and this is mostly when I listen to my CDs.
    I’ll be hearing you in my creative bubble! Thank you!
