Plague Unit ( Fowler)
Welcome to the Plague Unit
What will be our fate?
Leather bird beak mask
Lives Fading Fast
Smoke is Rising from the burning fires
Endless Bodies in the Funeral Pyres
We want to save the sick
Leave this place where death is thick
1349 was a bad year
Kings and Queens, Rats and Fear
The only thing not infected is the sky
I scream to the heavens why?
Can I heal them of the plague
And not catch it I beg
I am too young to die
Plague Doctors never cry
Ball of Confusion ( Fowler)
Stranded on a ball of confusion
Spinning round just like your mind
Perception opens many doors
Flying thru space and time
Stranded on a ball of illusion
Humanoids construct ill fate
Too bad the meteor is coming
Earth rejoins the particles of space

The Green Tide- Fowler
Project Fear/ Roll it out
Glad your here/ The grand agenda
Its a new / kind of religion
Project Fear
Make sure the gangs all here
Suffer equally/ Project Fear
Sign the dotted line
And you can join us here
We will take you to the promised land
There be no war
/ In the sand
Future wars will be fought in mind
Its the best for all mankind
The green tide
Watch the dead birds fall from the sky
All have the same scared look in there eye
Like they knew they were gonna die
The green tide like the fertilizer sand
Project fear is here
Living on borrowed time
If you dont watch out
Your gonna loose your mind
This is not the work of Gods hands
But the fall orchestrated by man
Washed away by the green tide
Project fear is deep inside
Stanza by Stanza Interpretation:
1. Project Fear / Roll it out...
This introduces Project Fear as a kind of orchestrated agenda described as a new kind of religion, which hints that its not spiritual but dogmatic, asking for blind faith or submission. It critiques groupthink and suggests people are being corralled into compliance.
2. Sign the dotted line...
This stanza reads like a tempting offer much like a contract with hidden consequences. It promises peace ("no war in the sand") but hints that real battles will happen mentally (wars will be fought in mind), suggesting psychological manipulation or inner torment disguised as progress.
3. The green tide...
Heres a shift into dystopian environmental imagery. The green tide may refer to literal environmental decay (e.g., algae blooms from fertilizer runoff) or a symbolic wave of destruction masked as something good (green being ironically twisted). The imagery of birds falling from the sky with a look of doom reinforces a feeling of inevitable collapse.
4. Living on borrowed time...
This final verse suggests were close to ruin, both mentally and physically. The line between natural and man-made catastrophe is blurred, as it says, not the work of Gods hands, but the fall orchestrated by man. It speaks to hubris, industrial or political failure, and internalized fear with Project Fear now embedded in the psyche.
Core Messages:
Manipulation through fear is the new religion.
Environmental collapse is both literal and symbolic.
Mass conformity leads to spiritual and psychological ruin.
This destruction is man-made, not divine.
People are trapped in systems that promise safety but deliver control.
