You can hear their pain. Man is a terrible creature. To make another man hurt this much. It's melody is hypnotic, yet painful.

This is intense music... Strangely, it sounds like the roots of a Nirvana song in some ways. Anyone else see that, or just me?

Lol this songs name is just that a name throughout history if you say we envy black people for making songs with the name early in the morning then I say it is blacks who envy whites look up the pirate chanty early in the morning its sang like earleye in da mornin created by white pirates sang by all made famous again in our era by assassins creed black flag so by your logic your people actually envy mine dumb fuck the nwo is satanic yes most of them are white but they hate everyone whites included why because Satan didn't bow down to Adam when God commanded he hates people and uses others who hate people to do his bidding those who worship him hate humanity all of it not just a few but all of it because Satan doesn't care if we worship him or believe in God or Jesus or him he just wants all of us to burn with him because he knows that's the only way to hurt God but he really doesn't because of free will we choose our lives may everyone who reads this choose correctly and walk with God white black yellow brown red doesn't matter we are all Israelites if we believe in God he says so
