Malcolm Muggeridge

So the final conclusion would surely be that whereas other civilizations have been brought down by attacks of barbarians from without, ours had the unique distinction of training its own destroyers at its own educational institutions, and then providing them with facilities for propagating their destructive ideology far and wide, all at the public expense. Thus did Western Man decide to abolish himself, creating his own boredom out of his own affluence, his own vulnerability out of his own strength, his own impotence out of his own erotomania, himself blowing the trumpet that brought the walls of his own city tumbling down, and having convinced himself that he was too numerous, labored with pill and scalpel and syringe to make himself fewer. Until at last, having educated himself into imbecility, and polluted and drugged himself into stupefaction, he keeled over--a weary, battered old brontosaurus--and became extinct.

I doubted this, but you're right. I didn't realize that's what this was about.
Just going over the lyrics in my head... I guess you could interpret it that way, but it's not all that specific.

I almost always think of it as being prescient of the OJ situation. Where the courts would let off a murderer and he would get societies support.

Pretty obvious to me:

This is just a hypothetical story
Of someone, let's just say it's me
I'd gain acceptance for my murderous ways
By stalking a defenseless prey

If I were a killer, I'd smile just like the boy next door
If I were a killer, I'd say I do it for the poor
If I were a killer, You'd bring me victims more and more
If I were a killer!

Supreme Court would agree to hear my case
And find me innocent of crime
Holding public rallies to incite sympathy
Creative actuality

If I were a killer, I'd hide behind a doctor's door
If I were a killer, I'd scrape you off my office floor

Yeah, that seems to definitely be about abortion. Which is murder, plain and simple.

KidzX – Abortion

Tried to look this up on YouTube. I got a special informative message about abortion as a medical procedure at the top of the results, a pro-abortion video with children saying they should have rights to it, and an Lgbtq page called "queer kids stuff" explaining abortion to children.

This is the system we created
This is our world so devastated
This is what it looks like when mankind asks You to just leave us alone
And the monster now awakens
This is our legacy creation
This is the place we end up when we say that we can do this on our own…

Nations calling “Our will be done”
Mankind answers to no one
But now it has begun
In death, our sin hath borne a son

I like Muggeridge, pretty insightful guy. Rome trained Alaric of the Goths who sacked Rome in 410.

Pretty obvious anti-abortion message. The mention of the Supreme Court and holding rallies is a big hint. Also “scraping off the floor”…

Great song! One of their best.

It's really hard to find. I can't even remember where I got my copy from (it would have been some Christian Metal Shop online). They did have a website for years, but that went down quite a while ago.

The album was called "The British Invasion... Again" and was rather quirky, but some of the songs were pretty solid. Most of the tracks were rock, but with a bit of a twist.

Didn't Undercover have one?

Just came across this piece of obscure metal history:

This is an anti-abortion song from Jeff Lain, bass player for Betrayal, in his band Method of Control. Looks like the band has been inactive for awhile and his url is pretty dead. This is the only song on his youtube channel.
