about

Lyric explanation: We wrote this song after learning about the testing facility located on the Australian Defence Force base in Brisbane, QLD. They infect primates with tuberculosis and malaria and then try to find a cure that can be applied on our human soldiers who fall ill to these diseases when they are at war or invading/occupying other countries. Their research has had a 98% fail rate. Defence research facilities all over the western world use the lives and bodies of non-human animals for many kinds of torture experiments such as trauma training exercises where they stab, hack off limbs and shoot bullets into live pigs, or spray mustard gas into the faces of rabbits.

Human Liberation and Animal Liberation are the same fight. Until we learn to respect all forms of life, we will forever have unnecessary violence in this world. Until we discern that all living beings deserve a life free of fear, pain and suffering; we will forever have victims of war and terror and we will always have oppressed populations.

lyrics

The secret war, the spoils of conflict;
Animals subject to infectious disease
Their bodies are littered with bullets as they hang from a zip line

The art of war, the spoils of conflict;
Our efficient killing machines take the lives of their victims long before they hit the battlefield.

War victims.
