Today's Metal Track is Davidian by Machine Head. This is the opening track off of their 1994 album Burn My Eyes. The title is a reference to the Branch Davidians and the famous Waco Siege of 1993.
The Branch Davidians were a religious sect led by David Koresh. Federal and State law enforcement agencies conducted a siege of their compound beginning February 28, 1993 which resulted in a 51 day standoff. In the end, the compound caught fire and around 80 people were killed. The final raid and fire was shown on live TV.
Here is some background on the siege
