"The war has begun. I have declared a war against flies."
With these words starts a poem "(Cyclops)" by Mikko Rimminen. This composition forms a pair with a piece called "The Flicker of Fire". They even have a little connection with the words "world is burning".
Some notes:
- there is rap in the piece, though I am not professional in that genre.
- [z] means a fly
- ta-ta... refers to a machine gun

"…when I have killed all the flies I'll pass to the snakes."
