So, how do you write an anti-War song, and inspect man''s avarice, stupidity and ultimate extinction in song? Well, with humour naturally! I wanted to deliver a dark message tongue-in-cheek with a jaunty, foot tapping rhythm... Done in more of a Vaudeville style than true PROG! (...Whatever that is)

When we played Summers End festival in 2016, some of the band members were a tad skeptical about performing this one live...but I stuck to my guns (no pun intended) and in the end, it turned out to be the most talked about piece that we performed on the day when it came to the reviews! (Guy)
