Rasputina - The Donner Party lyrics

The similarities in situation between the Donner party and

the colonial pilgrims is both appalling, frightening, and incomplete.

In both cases, you'll find One, a fairly large group of unprepared

greenhorns pitting themselves against nature and each other,

Two, an insufficient willingness to endure the very real hardships

of frontiering, and Three, coincidential misfortune at every turn.

Number Three, coincidential misfortune at every turn.

The disasters of both camps were initially brought about by departure

to lay, inducing inertia, which caused out heroes to begin their

journeys at absolutely retarded times, weatherwise.

If fantasy is the refuge of the frightened man,

and a castle in the air is safe harbor for a foolish few,

just imagine living in a hut ,buried twelve feet below the snow,

where the sight and the smell of the scattered carcasses

of loved ones at your feet is... the lay of the land; just another day.

I would like to propose that cannibalism was indeed rampant among

America's earliest settlers: The Pilgrims.

{VOICE}Huh?

The Pilgrims.

For what does settler imply, if not the willingness to settle? To settle

for a meal of human flesh, if my thoughts on the subject are to be

believed.

In conclusion, spread the word of this.

Look to the night sky, and hop back to our forefathers' shortcomings-

and your own-

as you cut your meat, and lay the groundwork

for a New Tomorrow...
