about

This was a title that the guys came up with before I joined, so I just ran with it. I thought it was an over the top idea to have Elephants used as slave labor by means of an Indian manufacturing company, who then become aware that they can fight back. John likes to think it's a metaphor about working class vs. whatever is keeping them down. I like to picture elephants with missile helmets on their heads. Po-tay-to, Po-Tot-to.

lyrics

Marching by tail into dark
Sweat pours off grey colored trunks
Beaten and forced they walk on
With no place that they call home, they yearn for something

But these withered bones are laid to rest
Yet no grave resides to honor them
And inside, something evolves
Walk on
Walk on and seek revenge

Corporations of despair
Bazaar of blood and flesh that rains from hell
The leader realized the path
and led the rest into journeys of wrath

Broken from chains, independent
Thinking as one, and strengthening

But these withered bones are laid to rest
Yet no grave resides to honor them
And inside, something evolves
Walk on
Walk on and seek revenge

Stone falls and barbed wire comes to crash
Horror and Shock as they raid
Tears fall from the Foremen
In the shadows of the Pachyderm
Chemicals pour on the floor, and skeletons swim
Missiles fly
from the heads of them

Blood, War, you have made them this way
They will not forget what you have done
They have not forgotten

And with the final bone under their feet
Their purpose has now been fulfilled
Return to your jungle home
and make your own way, Braymerian
