Although the world as we know today, has come a long way in terms of technological innovations, yet it has divided the entire human race into two distinct classes. Ordinary people, the mass, wished for a tech-driven decent livelihood, but the vicious and powerful ruling class turned greedy to exploit the newer technology to serve their own selfish evil ploys. The commoners are in distress and most oppressed today. The taste of money, wealth and power have turned the arrogant exploiters into monstrous inhuman. The greedy oppressors has become the worst environment polluters as well. It’s the self-obsessed power-mongers for whom the global natural environment today is in ruins. The productions of cash-crops and the mineral mines are all under their possession, all the major trades – they own, all the major maritime routes – under their control, all while the commoners are left to starvation, struggles for their access to basic food or pure water. Mass deforestation led to the rapid extinction of the wildlife. Due to climate-catastrophe, the two distant Polar Regions’ excessive melting icy-tops have turned the zones into icy rivers now. The air-pollution has reached so bad that fresh air is a far cry now. The oppressed people can only go out using oxygen masks, which too often get scarcely available. To serve their ever-growing greed, the evil gamblers keep on destroying countless acres of green forests and keep on building citadels to serve their own interests, while the balance of nature takes a toll, the civilian mass lose their minimum rights. At one point, the tortured mass of the earth unify once again and declare solidarity to fight back, for one last time. They are met with hi-tech armed robot-warriors. Hence, a deadly bloody genocide begins. The hackers from all corners of the globe too, join the march, a virtual warfare of the Good vs Evil starts. Their team-efforts with the allied guerrilla forces, soon win them the initial war, but their laugh soon get long gone, as they eventually see it was just a transitory victory. With a deafening noise and utter surprise, now the fighter-planes loaded with bombs show up on the skyline while armoured cars and tanks take controls of the roads to silence the freedom-fighters for good. The ammo war began, for which the light-armed commoners were obviously not at all prepared. As a result, the daily casualty at the mass people side keeps getting bigger and bigger. Alas! With such grave fatality, it feels like the ultimate defeat for the commoners! The evils rulers regain their watch and control over the world again! They do not fear God, rather they are the self-proclaimed Gods. Levels of tortures increase many folds. The once vividly blue sky of the earth goes pale grey! The once picturesque green fields are out of green today! The sun seems to stare with a gloomy light of sorrow! Lyrics-K.H.SAZZADUL AREFEEN In the cold, darkened city Struggling on life’s Pity They’re killing through the game Slaying lives in pain Everywhere I look Haze in the sky Burning through the grass All the seeds of life Uncounted miles of blood Looks pitch black and dark Killing through the flame All mortal tech insane Hacking through the war Artificial life Earth is shaking down For the tree of life They are the gamblers of all lives Smoke is covering all the lies They are the gamblers of all lives Bet is on, just roll the dice Mankind standing on their last mistake Paranoid growing power Making laser cannon towers Building firewalls Forbidding God’s Commands Lost all the fear On a panel of controlled war As the countdown is on Waiting Arch Angel’s arrival All comms are failing Robot fighter planes flying Reptiles crawling Killers are set to the program Red blood is rising In the Garden of Eden Pitch black fog covering The gravity stuttering Under the tree of life Guitar Solos: Rifat, Sazzad Video Credits : Mir Hisham's Art of Heavy Metal #TreeofLife #GroundForce #PowerMetal #YouTube

Volume-1 / Track 2: Song of Earth The Official music video for Ground-Force Taken from the debut album of Ground-Force : "Tree of Life"- available from August 2021 Tree of Life is available to stream/buy on all platforms- https://ffm.to/treeoflife Official site: http://www.GroundForce.info Facebook: http://www.Facebook.com/groundforce.band Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/groundforce.band/ Story by Milu Aman Chapter 2: Song of Earth Robin is staring at his screen, while his fingers move fast. He's still trying to find a way. He is a hacker, a genius one. He was not only a witness to the momentary victory over the evil rulers’ robot army, but also the principal architect of the strategic action-plan of this cyber war! Hundreds and thousands of cyber fighters scattered around the globe are still awaiting his next command, but now Robin somewhat feels hopeless. Still shattered by the defeat, Robin feels helpless, and he stops himself as he was almost about to throw away his precious laptop in anger. He keeps staring at his forefront with a blank look on his face and then, he hugs the laptop instead! The thought that they are going to be defeated against the evil rulers in this war of ultimate survival kills him inside! In agony, a shriek comes out of his throat! Managing himself a bit, Robin tracks something on his laptop. He must meet Azra today, now! He finds Azra’s current location at a nearby spot. This has been a highly secret safe-house, only a few high ranked leaders from the supreme command knows its whereabouts and access code. He quickly puts the laptop in his bag and slung it over his shoulder, puts on the oxygen mask and carefully comes out of the basement of a ruins. This building was entirely destroyed in the recent air-raid. He again carefully looks to his left and right and top and then starts walking to the location. He must remain vigilant till he reaches there. Azra is a trained guerrilla fighter, the commander of her entire local troupe. Azra and Robin have grown up together since a child. Robin and Azra's fathers were buddies and comrades-in-arms. When both got martyred in the same guerrilla operation, Robin and Azra were too young to be orphans. Since then, they have been inseparable, buddies for life. Now they are a couple. They have taken oath to finish the enemy for once and forever, and hence remain fully occupied in their works, and can hardly make rooms to see each other in person. But It’s ok to them, they both foresee the bigger picture here. They must conquer this war! For the sake of it, they happily embrace this personal sacrifice! Robin has lately started believing firmly that only a help from an alien force can save the world and its inhabitants in this great war of survival. After their defeat in the recent war, this belief now seems to him to be the only way, though he doesn’t at all know whether there is any such extra-terrestrial entity in the vast outer space! At the far end of the town, there stands a really tall, abandoned building on the hill. On top of that, there used to be the most powerful satellite in the world, ever built by humans. It is capable of sending coded signals to distant universes. Once this building premises used to host the best tech brains of the earth, but that era is long gone, faded
