Artist's Comments

This is what we do to eachother on a daily basis.
We kill eachother.
Over stupid things.
Over things we should be enbracing, not turning away, and fear.
Why are "You" shocked when you look at this?
You watch the news, dont you?
I watched a suicide on national television once.
Why are we so inclinded on watching death?
Are we, as a world, trying to desensitize ourselfs from everyday reality?

War?
Dark is the light,
The man you fight,
With all your prayers, incantations,
Running away, a trivial day,
Of judgment and deliverance,
To whom was sold, this bounty soul,
A gentile or a priest ?
Who victored over, the Seljuks,
When the holy land was taken

We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens

Was it the riches, of the land,
Powers of bright darkness,
That lead the noble, to the East,
To fight the heathens

We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens

We must call upon our bright darkness,
Beliefs, they're the bullets of the wicked,
One was written on the sword,
For you must enter a room to destroy it,
International security,
Call of the righteous man,
Needs a reason to kill man,
History teaches us so,
The reason he must attain,
Must be approved by his God,
His child, partisan brother of war,

Of war, we don't speak anymore,
Of war, we don't speak anymore,

We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens

Very nice piece, I love the contrast between the main image and the mundane office setting. Great lyrics too.

This piece of work is so incredible I can't get over it. it deserves to be scanned properly on a large bed scanner so we can really appreciate the amount of work that went into it. I appreciate the sentiment as well as the art. Great fucking work. :D (Big Grin)

I'm proud to see that someone actually understands System of a Down's political and social commentary other than me. It seems the pop masses have garbled their message quite a bit, but hey, they get us "radical-minded" people a lot of public exposure. I suppose it's time for a critique on this piece, though I could never make many negative comments on it. It just kicks ass.
:icondefarge:
wow, very kewl.. i agree with all those above, it kicks ass.. the hand print caught my eye, or maybe i'm just seeing things, either way its a powerful piece, be proud
