All Comments on 'Decimation'

The lyrics just do not do the title any justice or vice versa. Decimation implies total fuckin annihilation. The lyrics instead speak of peasants under dishonest rulers 'enduring a long term suffering'.

'Decimation' could refer to how the rulers came into power by completely obliterating an established system of democracy, but ...... the lyrics don't go back that far.

Lines 13 and 14 are way too vague as to who the molesters were and why and how they were kept hidden after said release.

Switch smoke and fire. Think trial by fire and seeing lies beyond the smoke as in the smoke-screen of a magician's misdirection as he performs an illusion.

Keep at it. Make this motherfucker worthy of the title. If you can't, save the title for something else truly devastating.

I agree with Magnetron on everything he said. I'd add to that...

L9 change "only to see" to "just to watch" says that you knew hope was futile.

Also, help me out, I don't get the "in their hands" line. What is supposed to be in their hands that I'm missing?

Next, I'd change the line after madness to "of your open hollow mind"

The last section I'd change to:

Only the long years change

Filled with all the sorrow and hate

Peasants still cater to master's will

Dates change but we're still trapped in the past

By the weight of our fucking lies.

With lyrics cut as many unnecessary words as possible. You want people to be able to sing/shout it with you. Make that easier for them.

Like Magnetron said it still needs more oomph to fit the title. This is oppression not decimation. Love to hear it if you ever record it.
