Pits of Balad
It was a direct order, smoke filled horizons, the damage done, a wasted life
Written by The Seer Information Architect
The burn pits of Balad were a ten-acre open-air incinerator burning everything from jet fuel to human remains — poisoning thousands of soldiers with carcinogens the military quietly acknowledged and systematically ignored for two decades, revealing exactly how little the system valued the people it sent to war.
Royal Bath Pits of Balad
Written during our heady days of goth-inspired garage carnage… and far too many late nights reading all the fucked up things governments order their citizens to do.
The lyrics
It was a direct order
Smoke filled horizons
The damage done
A wasted life
Order
Order
Order
Order
Burning eyes
Smoke filled lungs
Heat engulfed flesh
To the bone
One was an attack
The other a direct order
Order
Order
Order
Order
Injustice
Injustice
Injustice breeds unity...
