about

This is the third track off our new EP Survival Songs. Coming out this summer on Start a Fire Records

lyrics

You are not the voice of thunder, the howling of the whipping wind, not the will of mass redemption, but the damage done by the hands of sin.
A logical mind stands completely drowned, just a distraction or a cowards reaction.
Quick and sharp, you are called to act as the arm, while the body stays clean and unharmed.
A decaying frame rebuilt with young flesh, they need more bodies they need more sweat.
The recruiters lie, from twisted tongues of safe men who talk of protection but deal in deception.
This is your way out if you don’t posses the brains, if you don’t posses the cash; this is your only option.
(The bough is breaking, and the real cost of militaristic dreams cashes its death, come home retreat forever
A handwritten letter)
From the man in front of the gun.
Locked eyes, our instructions, predisposed to fight and fight and lie.
Men and woman all too human, become futures cast aside.
Our lives brutish an short become statistics and names on a line.
The tank blast, the missile strike, we need hearts to bleed and we need bigger knives.
For god and for country is to serve and die, and I won’t step aside.
We don’t need bigger knives.
