Omega - Ballada A Fegyverkovгўcs Fiгўrгіl [FAST]

(Ballad of the Weaponsmith’s Son), released by the legendary Hungarian band Omega in 1969 , is a poignant masterpiece of Eastern European progressive rock.

When he eventually returns home, broken and near death, his father’s only response is a cynical laugh: "Open your eyes, this is the world, and weapons are needed" . This bitter conclusion highlights the harsh reality of a world that often values the tools of war over the symbols of peace.
