Pokédices Apart

"War Crimes" is a song off the Every Ape and His Brother album The Chicken of the Opera. It is the tenth track, and completes the album.

History
The song has been planned since December of 2010, when the Dozerfleet founder first heard Katy Perry's song "Firework" playing over the loudspeakers at a bowling alley with the staff of SWOCC Studios. The empty message of "inner strength" is here defied with a "too bad; you're doomed anyway" scenario. It remained on the shelf until February 25th of 2012 around 12:30 PM EST, when it was finally completed and then submitted to AmIRight.com.

Story
In the song, a young married couple is fleeing for their lives as their home neighborhood is invaded by an army willing to do whatever it takes to indulge in ethnic cleansing. The song is from the wife's point of view, as she sees her world succumb to an apocalyptic manifestation of multiple horrors.
