"Uaschitschun" tells about the pollution of nature through a Native American's perspective. "Uaschitschun" (
wašíču) is a
Lakota word meaning "a non-native person", especially "white people" . The ending words were originally spoken by filmmaker
Alanis Obomsawin in 1972 and were probably inspired by a famous speech made by
Chief Seattle to the whites when they came to buy the lands of
Seattle. A music video was made for "Conquistadores" which had some air play on
MTV's
Headbangers Ball. It is also the first to use a 5-string bass in a metal context. "Warchild" is not the same song that appeared in the band's early demos. "
Calico Jack" is about an English pirate of the 18th century. He designed the skull-and-bones pirate flag that was later named the Jolly Roger, which gave the title to the previous album. == Track listing ==
