Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Austin Average	#1 by Austin Schrauben at Oct 20, 1972 at 3:58 AM EST
	this was writen in the mid-90s, around the time that mass-murder was becoming a really popular trend in the balkans, with dictators slaughtering entire races here and there.

No Picture Toni Average	#2 by Toni at Sep 9, 1975 at 7:20 PM EST
	Blindrider, Didn't Dave Mustaine invent Metalica's sound? I agree with altd2, this song is inspired, like all the others on this album. I think of it as a reminder that history repeats its gruesome self. The parallels that this song (and all on countdown to extension) has with American foreign policy is poignant. But its also spookily prophetic... this is Iraq War 2 (and the occupation of Iraq) written about 10 years early.

	Without giving it hours of thought, my first guess is this song is about the leader of another country invading another, and taking it over (ie.. US/Iraq present day). "To envelop its prey below, Deliver to the light" The invading country's leader (we'll call him Leader #1) decides he knows what's best for this other country, so he sets out to take them over and take the defending leader (we'll call him Leader #2) over. "Great nations built from the bones of the dead" Basically saying "I know a lot of people are gonna have to die, but think of it, it's gonna be so great after we assume power and rebuild" "You know your worth when your enemies Praise your architecture of aggression" Obviousley the invading country is much more powerful than the defending, and may be more powerful than any other country for that matter. This means these other countrys have no chance of defending, or suppressing leader #1, thus giving #1 the the feeling of worth and power. "A toppled leader dies His body fuels the power fire" Just that, #1 takes down #2 quick style. #2 going down so easy leads #1 to believe he is unstoppable, thus must go after more leaders/people. "One side of his face a kiss, The other genocide" On one side (let's use GWBush for example) he is praised as baing a great leader, and is very much admired, on the other side, he is power hungry, and will spare no expense or life for his cause. "Time to pay with your ass, A worldwide suicide" Meaning the world is not gonna stand by and watch #1 continue his heinus acts, therefore causing a world war of epic proportions. That's my quick evaluation of it anyway....
