Music

The album starts with "Burn the Sky". Lyrically, the song is a critique of militarisation of space by such groups as the Project for a New American Century.[3] It specifically refers to its influential report, Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategies, Forces, and Resources For a New Century, which call to protect resources of rich and influential "haves" from poor and frustrated "have nots".[4]
