The final two years:
And when you lose control
You'll reap the harvest you have sown.
And as the fear grows
The bad blood slows and turns to stone.
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around.
So have a good drown, as you go down all alone
Dragged down by the stone.

He has become
Comfortably Numb.
The coolest Floyd song title:
Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict.
Pict - one of the few peoples the Romans were unable to defeat. They and others joined to create Scotland.
Kilts and battle axes.
Then there's the Celtic warriors. Powdered, white hair standing on end, six foot plus in height, naked body painted bright blue, carrying the severed heads of victims, running at you in battle screaming like a wild animal and, of course, carrying a fucking huge sword.
A Roman soldier's nightmare.
But I digress.
That's my all time favorite song title. The other stuff has me scratching my head, expect that it fits with your profile of a Natural Born Killer.
You know, I'm very much a peaceful person by nature, but lately my lack of sleep and stress level have pushed me towards uncharacteristically violent thoughts and behavior. It concerns me and your comment will serve to make me more aware of how my communication affects others and their perceptions of me.
My favorite story from history involving pure violence and mixed cultures...
Townspeople scurrying to and fro, one screaming to another about vikings and a boat coming down the river. They gather what loved ones and valuables they may and all head to the sacred safety of the towns church. The vikings land their vessel, find the town empty and learn that all the citizens have conveniently piled themselves into one building. They set it on fire and plunder the village.
It's simple, but tragic irony with a touch of dark humor.
Sad. Reminds me of WTC security telling folks it is safer to go back to their offices.
