about

The seventh track off of The Aphelion's debut album, The Labour Division

As darkness falls on the great desert, our protagonists seek shelter. And yet in finding shelter, they also find that they are not alone. A group of religious zealots greet them, explaining to them that they believe that the fallouts and natural disasters were simply the rapture, and that they were overlooked by their god. In finding that the Labour Division do not share their beliefs, and are unwilling to stay with them and await the second coming of their rapture, they promptly eject them from their abode.

lyrics

Hello, dear heathens
What compels you to cross through this desolate ocean of sand?
Do you seek the promise land, or have you come to await the return of the one true deity?
Like me!
No?
Then leave this place and never return
(Get the fuck out)
This instant.
