Story Behind The Song
The tunnel is based around a broad comlex struggle that operates at many different levels. The core of part one is the battle of good William B versus Evil William B. The full story is in the CD "The Tunnel part 1" which is actually being remixed again due to improvements in the studio which I use.
Song Description
Song number five of the Omni/Rock opera called the tunnel, this song shows the valiant victims of a tyrannical government going (literally) underground to take up the struggle. In this Reggae like anthem the solemn minor key calls out to unify people to reach for true freedom.

Lyrics
Counter Electrically
Counter Electrically Prepare to strike
They can't figure where the center or the source is
Nobody knows where there power really comes from
Try how they try to eliminate our ideas
A wave of their hand and we are driven underground to
Counter Electrically Prepare to strike
The tormenters chase with no traces of a conscience
All that they have is the power and the will
Drive and they drive us to the point of desperation
To run like rats and hide until we
Counter Electrically Prepare to strike
With great conviction we gather up the aparatus
Armed with a knowledge we are as nuts as them
Philosophically we prepare to shatter bones
And sling mud
We fight to end the war
Counter Electrically Prepare to strike
There was no way we could beat them at their own game
All that we would do is bloody up the farm
We try and we try to obliterate their ideas
A wave of our hand and we are marching underground to
Counter Electrically Prepare to Strike
