From the recording Barbarian
This song is, in many ways, my personal philosophy on life and my observations of what is going on around me. Musically, for me, it has its angst and brutalities, but with a level of finesse—barbaric yet precise!
Also, I have to say thank you to everyone who has been listening to Narcotic Wasteland and attending our shows. We truly appreciate the support!
Stay Metal!!!!

Lyrics
Barbarian
Never will I subscribe to your religious cults
of indoctrination
Nor feel the need to participate in your
ignorant bliss
I feel the urge to stay inebriated
Just to tolerate the mass civilization of blind
fools
Judgmental Hypocritical Toxic and self
destructive
Elite idiots waging wars for meaningless
currency
The rest of humanity enslaved in a
mundane round of existence
Mindlessly doing what you are commanded
For a thin fragile piece of paper that only
teaches hatred
The life you are forced to live only causes
you pain
The most oblivious of fools follow the
loudest most ignorant voice
Forever disenfranchised by their big game
you fall into the grinder
I will forever fight the monumental vortex of
the mundane
And the meaningless things you put in such
high importance Utterly disgusts me
I will travel the world to speak my mind
freely instrument in hand
Like a modern day Agnostic Barbarian
I will embrace this nomadic lifestyle of
freedom
I see you destroy everything that is
beautiful
And create vast atrocities
Instead of promoting science you glorify
faith and ignorance
Selfishly altering the face of the Earth
You run the wells dry
I await the day the barbarians and valkyrie
rise
To take back our world and give back what
does not belong to us
I am an agnostic barbarian
My guitar is my sword
My voice is my shield
Forever promoting the masses to free their
thoughts and minds
Become the voice of Altruism together we
have strength
To overthrow the tyranny and the abuse of
power
It is time to protect our world from ourselves
To end the plague of ignorance for all time
