lyrics

No! Peaceful Planet, no weapons.
I grow tired of asking, where is the rebel base?
Dantooine! They’re on Dantooine.
See, I told you she could be reasonable.
Continue with the operation, you may fire when ready.
WHAT?!?!

Unaware, Life Destroyed
No Last Chance
Shattered remnants
Suffering only in Lack
Raped by Hate
Empire’s rays Annihilate

Aw, We come out of hyperspace into a meteor shower,
Some kind of asteroid collision, its not on the charts.
What's going on? (Chaos)
Our Position’s correct, except, no Alderaan
What do you mean? Where is it?
Just what I’m trying to tell you kid,
It’s been completely blown away.

credits

from Failing Early, Failing Often, released December 13, 2001
Russ plays all of the guitar and worries about the fate of Alderaan
Gary does bass and explains that it's been completely blown away
Chiyo is drum

Human = Garbage
by Dystopia

supported by 26 fans who also own “Imperial March / Alderaan”

Love the vibe of this project as a whole. SUPER depressed angry music which relies heavily on sound clips and audio collage is my jam especially in sludge. Feels like a more deprived and crusty version of Through Silver in Blood. Either way, the balance between the audio collage and more tradition crust/sludge sections is perfect and leaves me satisfied every time I listen (which is a lot) kaiiil
