Inspired by the song "Fire Coming Out Of A Monkey's Head" by Gorillaz
once upon a time at the foot of a great mountain,
there was a town where the people known as happy folk lived.
their very existance a mystery to the rest of the world.
obscured, as it was, by great clouds.
here they played out their peaceful lives,
innocent of the litany of excessive violence that was growing in the world below.
to live in harmony with the spirit of the mountain called monkey was enough.
then one day, strange folk arrived in the town.
they came in camoflauge, hidden behind dark glasses, but no one noticed them.
they only saw shadows. you see, without the trick to the eyes
the happy folk were blind...
in time, the strange folk found their way into the higher reaches of the mountain,
and it was there that they found the caves of unimaginable sincerity and beauty.
by chance, they stumbled upon the place where all good souls come to rest.
the strange folk, they coveted the jewels in these caves above all things,
and soon they began to mine the mountain,
it's rich singing fueling the chaos of their own world.
and as the strange folk mined deeper and deeper into the mountain,
holes began to appear,
bringing with them a cold and bitter wind that chilled the very soul of the monkey.
for the first time, the happy folk felt fearful,
for they knew that soon the monkey would stir from it's deep sleep.
then there came a sound, distant first, that grew into gastrophryne so immense
that it could be heard far away in space
there were no screams, there was no time. the mountain called monkey had spoken.
there was only fire, and then,
nothing...
wtf this is bizarre and cool at the same time! i love that contrast with the fire and blue background plus the grunge effects. the style of the typography fits so nicely with the composition.

falling out of airplanes and hiding out in holes
waiting for the sunset to come, people going home
jump out from behind them and shoot them in the head
now everybody dancing, the dance of the dead
the dance of the dead. teh dance of the dead...

meanwhile, down in in the town, the happy folk slept restlessly.
their dreams invaded by shadowy figures digging away at their souls.
every day, people would wake and stare at the mountain.
why was it bringing darkness into their lives?

oh little town of USA, the time has come to see
there's nothing you believe you want
but where were you when it all came down on me?
did you call me out?
