This reminded me of some of the scenes in the movie "There Will Be Blood." The repetition meshed nicely with the subject matter; I heard an eerie chant lamenting colonialism and wars for oil.
Love the geopolitical commentary.
This is indeed meant to be a kind of chant. I was trying to mimic the spirituals sung in the cotton fields. It's a 1 chord song.
Maybe 2.
