I was listening to Sanctuary's INTO THE MIRROR BLACK today, and the song "One More Murder" came on, and it struck me that this song has very similar parallels to "Final Product" on THIS GODLESS ENDEAVOR...

And the media they feed off the sickness
They stoke the fire as they eat
All the while being glamorized by rap
The lure of power creates a death trap of social decay


Warrel has always written socially-aware lyrics, but compare that to the first verse of "Final Product..."

The media loves the latest tragic suicide
They exploit it, then package it and profit from the people who die
Look at the world, look at the hell, look at the hate we've made
Look at the final product, a world in slow decay


Both songs are almost fifteen years apart, and they're very similar... gives you great hope for humanity, doesn't it? :Spin:
