Description
Of all the things that make absolutely no sense in this world, people killing other people as part of *God's Will* leads the pack. End of sermon.
This is my first pass at a very complicated mix with an initial stab at the vocal. But because I feel so strongly about the subject matter, I decided to post this early version.

Open Season (In God’s Name)

Well, some folks pray to Jesus and swear that he’s The Lord
Some give praise to Allah, then wage their “holy” wars
Now, no one’s sure who god is – or if and when he came
But do you really think he’d want us killing in his name? ‘cause there
CHORUS #1:
Ain’t no reason... there ain’t no rhyme
For Open Season – on all Mankind
There’s no god who would make us, his daughters and his sons
For one to kill the other, with explosives or with guns
He’d surely need no help from us, to carry out His will
Except to honor all he’d made and never ever kill, ‘cause there
CHORUS #2:
Ain’t no reason... no, there’s just shame
Stop! this killing – in your god’s name..............
Preaching fire & brimstone, there are those who claim they’re blessed
But anyone teaching Hate & Death is one god would detest
No, they don’t care who god is, they just use him for their gain
For money, power and control, they twist what should be plain... that there
CHORUS #1
No matter if you’re Christian, Hindu, Muslim or a Jew
No god would want you using him, the way so many do
As fodder for their selfish quest, to rouse some faithful souls
To do their shameful dirty work, to gain their earthly goals, ‘cause there
CHORUS #2

Joe, I think you've got it here as far as the mix goes. Sounds complex but clear - I hear every instrument and all fx, placed expertly. I especially like the very effective clav part, by the way.
The urgency is in the listener's face, but is not overbearing. The message is obvious, but will always need continual restatement until it is thoroughly heard, understood at the deepest levels, and absorbed completely.
Excellent, Joe. Great delivery of old truth that has yet to manifest. Thanks for this.
