about

Here is the first single by Mask of Sanity to be featured on our upcoming debut album, "World Full of Sin."

This song was supposed to be featured in the "Child of Man" EP back in the Madworld/Draoi days, but since it was incomplete, it didn't make the cut (yet the EP was still named after it). MoS decided to keep it and perfected it into our own heavy metal anti-war anthem. Enjoy.

lyrics

Send your sons to fight your war
Knowing not what holds in store
Your country needs you more
To ensure we rule the world

Storm the shores--Defenses torn
Machine gun coup d'état
Demonize the enemy
Abandon humanity

War is the Child of Man
Nurtured by tyrannical hands
Pawns we are for the establishment
Of a new world order.

Now that the war is won
Where oh where is your son?
Letter then came through the mail
And explained in great detail

From heavens fell a mortar shell
In second's breadth--instant death
Your unreal cries; your unreal pain
That's the price: Freedom's bane.

War is the Child of Man
Nurtured by tyrannical hands
Pawns we are for the establishment
Of a new world order

Special Thanks to Max for putting in the painstaking hours dialing in knobs and inching the mic to the perfect placement and finding the right harmonies on both guitar and vocals and for the multiple car tests. True engineering at its finest.

Also thank you to Max's mom Marcia for letting us record in her home during the scratch track//drums//rhythm guitar phase of this song.

And lastly, thank you, dear listener, for giving us a chance to expose you to RIFF TERRITORY. If you like what you heard, sit tight. We have more for you in the following months to come.
