[al:Exhibit B: The Human Condition]
[01:43.11] Sadistic soldiers of the rising sun
[01:46.64] 1937's when the rape had begun
[01:50.14] The ancient city fell under imperial rule
[01:53.75] By an engine of war and lust, savage and cruel
[01:58.05] Assembly line efficiency of killing machines
[02:02.13] Unbridled fury of the sick and obscene
[02:06.17] Systematic sexual degradation
[02:10.06] The more perverse the greater exaltation
[02:13.80] Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
[02:16.90] They turned the waters of the Yangtze red with blood
[02:21.62] Cast aside and brutalized
[02:24.80] Terrific horror made to terrorize
[02:28.93] Bestial and violent, six weeks of suffering
[02:36.00] So black was the day they marched through the gates
[02:39.80] Their fate was beckoning
[02:46.27] Tanks ran over men nailed to boards
[02:49.78] Decapitations with an officer's sword
[02:53.97] Gang rape of women, both the young and the old
[02:57.80] Frozen to death in waters ice cold
[03:01.81] Disembowelment, some are buried alive
[03:05.28] Suicide's preferred for those who survive
[03:09.48] The stench of corpses everywhere in the streets
[03:13.42] Dogs feast on the rotting meat
[03:17.36] Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
[03:20.24] They turned the waters of the Yangtze red with blood
[03:24.78] Cast aside and brutalized
[03:28.28] Terrific horror made to terrorize
[03:32.30] Bestial and violent, six weeks of suffering
[03:39.43] So black was the day they marched through the gates
[03:43.24] Their fate was beckoning
[03:47.90] It was the rape of Nanking
[05:28.80] Thousands forced into prostitution
[05:31.69] So many years and still no restitution
[05:35.73] The carnage of Carthage so easily outdone
[05:39.45] Add all the blood you get 1200 tons
[05:44.30] Massacre removed from history books
[05:47.03] No mention of men hung from iron hooks
[05:51.80] All counter to the rules of war
[05:55.00] They made a city an army's whore
[05:59.50] Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
[06:02.50] They turned the waters of the Yangtze red with blood
[06:07.38] Cast aside and brutalized
[06:10.50] Terrific horror made to terrorize
[06:14.52] Bestial and violent, six weeks of suffering
[06:21.63] So black was the day, they marched through the gates
[06:25.22] Their fate was beckoning
[06:30.25] It was the rape of Nanking
