Unfortunately this song could be applicable to about any period of history. There are just more pesky people in need of repenting nowadays and the weapons are bigger.
Definitely has a cool Johnny Cash vibe . . . love that ticking time bomb effect you’ve got going. I wouldn’t say a protest song, but certainly a compelling reminder of humanity’s darker side. Nice work!
Ohh Jim, So true and sad. At first sight, seems that tune like this was effortless for you, but I am certain it was the opposite. I guess that's the magic in writing good song, so it listens easy, yet carries a lot of weight. Clock ticking theme was a very clever move!
P.S. People hear J.Cash presence... I hear more of Leonard Cohen. You and I probably share same "sad song" week
Bravo!!! Superb job. Wish I could write like that. Maybe one day I will.
Sad, sad message, but the truth often hurts, so no complaints (as it were) about any of it. If the shoe fits ...
Loved the ticking clock effect, also.
Oh, and one last thing: don't know about Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen or whatever ... this sounds AUTHENTIC and original, 100% ... and that's what I think matters. This is not Cash or Cohen, in my humble and profane opinion ... this really is you, that's how it comes across to me.
Hard - no point, even - to analyse this by taking it apart and talk about its "components", as it were. It's the whole thing that leaves one feeling like one's swallowed a dose of truth - which is, again, a very healthy and sobering thing to do from time to time. Great stuff - thank you.
Excellent lyric. As said, this could apply to almost any time any any "high" civilization in history. What marks our time as the time of this song is that we know what we do and what that does to the planet.

Very well done - simple in it's delivery, but very powerful at the same time - the mark of a well executed song. It displays strong songwriting skills, and really sets a dark mood perfectly.
You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
