"I am the one, Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand
My image is of agony, my servants rape the land
Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain
Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name
Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law
My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore.
I twist the truth, I rule the world, my crown is called deceit
I am the emperor of lies, you grovel at my feet
I rob you and I slaughter you, your downfall is my gain
And still you play the sycophant and revel in you pain
And all my promises are lies, all my love is hate
I am the politician, and I decide your fate
I march before a martyred world, an army for the fight
I speak of great heroic days, of victory and might
I hold a banner drenched in blood, I urge you to be brave
I lead you to your destiny, I lead you to your grave
Your bones will build my palaces, your eyes will stud my crown
For I am MARS, the god of war, and I will cut you down."
Yup, Lemmy is Mars, the god of war. And what was the title of one of Matt Damon's newest movies?
Ah, yes, The Martian, where he is a stranded astronaut on Mars, the planet named after Mars, the god of war. And next week I will write a bit about the movie starring Matt Damon, and the book by Andy Weir that it is based on.
Oh, and by the way, why is the connection between Motörhead and Matt Damon curious?
Because NASA has a certain rover on a certain red planet that is named Curiosity! And in a about two weeks time I intend to write a bit about the cute rover too. In other words, I will continue my space-oriented posts for a few weeks more, I started off with SpaceX and Elon Musk, I'll continue with The Martian and the Curiosity rover.
