Danny Snead Watching the music video for The Punishment Committee, my wife peered over and asked me if I'm watching a snuff film. The album is great too. Give them money. Favorite track: The Punishment Committee.

There's a call for you sir On line one Oh, hello there Glad you could join us The situation has gotten much worse since the last time you were here We're looking at an increase in attacks of about 37% Well, we can always try throwing more troops at the problem, sir The local population has not been responding well to our presence and it may be time to rethink our strategy here You're right sir. Perhaps 36 months isn't enough. I'm sure they'll come around soon. One more thing, sir. It's the men. There have been a number of... well... incidents. I understand, sir. Nothing I can't handle. We will continue to maintain order no matter the cost.

I’ll show you something you won’t ever forget Hang from the rope just like a marionette We’ve got another hundred miles to go A hundred more and we’ve got nothing to show Treat disagreement like a capitol crime Just smile and wave and tell the camera you’re fine I’ll show you something you won’t ever forget I’ll show you something you won’t ever forget Their boots are pounding as they come down the hall They tried to tell me that you don’t have the balls But you can’t lose if you aren’t playing the game Widows and orphans will remember your name You pull the trigger with a devious grin Another chance to fuel the fire within I’ll show you something you won’t ever forget I’ll show you something you won’t ever forget I’ll show you something you won’t ever forget I’ll show you something you won’t ever forget And just before the blast erased any trace You should’ve seen the stupid look on your face You seem confused so let me give you a tip You play the captain you go down with the ship A lesson learned a tool to measure regret I’ll show you something you won’t ever forget I’ll show you something you won’t ever forget I’ll show you something you won’t ever forget Shoulder the weight of an unpayable debt I’ll show you something you won’t ever forget I’ll show you something you won’t ever forget I’ll show you something you won’t ever forget I’ll show you something you won’t ever forget I’ll show you something you won’t ever forget

Let that be a lesson to ya Never assume that the light of the moon is the flashlight of God on the path I told you before and I'll tell you again, if you kill me I'm only worth half Never assume that the light of the moon is the flashlight of God on the path I told you before and I'll tell you again, if you kill me I'm only worth half Now what did we learn today?

It's beginning to fall apart Or is it according to plan That everyone disappeared Are we waiting on a miracle man The cracks begin to show The lights begin to fade As rivers overflow I'm hoping that we made the grade The farther that we roam The less and less I'm sure Of everything we said And all that came before Take my hand I can't promise that I know the way Take my hand I'm in too deep to walk away Take my hand I can't promise that I know the way Take my hand I'm in too deep to walk away I felt the blade against the bone With just a word you pull me in And now we're living on our own Another reign of terror ends The form, the shape, the space within And such a marvel how it's grown I never saw you walk away And now I'm laughing all alone There isn't a place that you can hide A battle waiting to begin And through the gap a mile wide There are no heroes rushing in My greed is a parasite, take a look in my eyes Though you promised us paradise, everything made here was built on a lie Now you're starting to understand the trouble we're in And if it's really over, at least I can say I was killed by friend As you vomit out sympathy from the front of your face I'm all out of energy, fought the good fight but I can't keep the pace Now I'm feeling so ashamed, and you should be too Too weak to blame myself, so I blame you There isn't a place that you can hide This isn't a battle you can win Our hero lifted to the sky Upon the backs of broken men

Another call for you, sir On line one Back so soon? I wish I had better news for you, sir but unfortunately the situation on the ground has continued to deteriorate rapidly. Current reports indicate support for our presence is virtual non-existent. Morale is dangerously low and casualties are mounting. I hope I'm not out of line here but we are approaching total mission failure and I'm beginning to think this fight can't be won. My opinion? Well, I understand the brass won't support a full withdrawal and I understand that we have a reputation to uphold. Now I would hate to put anyone in an awkward position given our... current standing on the homefront. So I would recommend rapid deployment of shock troops to key areas of the region. Perhaps an increased presence and a heavier hand will discourage further escalation. I understand, sir. We will continue holding position as long as we can.
