Trough Of War is about those who actively profit from war. They always have and always will be there to make money, always with an eye on keeping a war going somewhere with little or no regard for human life. Their profit always comes first.
lyrics
How do you manage to convince yourself
That what you’re doing isn’t wrong?
Who’re you serving who’re you working for?
One for all or all for one?
Roads to be laid
Faith to be swayed
Pawns to be played
Money to be made
For better or for worse
Your profit will come first
Sharks are swimming in these waters
They bleed the rivers of the poor
The rats will jump the ship that’s sinking
Feeding on the trough of war
So are you driven by compassion?
Or is it power that you crave?
Does your devil take the hindmost
Is it to greed that you’re the slave?
Careers to be made
Opinions to be swayed
Debts to be paid
Bodies to be laid
For better or for worse
Your profit will come first
Sharks are swimming in these waters
They bleed the rivers of the poor
The rats will jump the ship that’s sinking
Feeding on the trough of war
Sharks are swimming in these waters
They bleed the rivers of the poor
The rats will jump the ship that’s sinking
Feeding on the trough of war
Absolutely hooked on this album from first listen. How rare is that with prog!??? Excellent songwriting and musicianship. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of the collection. Thomas Lock
