Who Are the War Dead?
02:14
|
|
||
|
History distorted beyond recognition
Utilising the legacy of imperialism
Ignorance claimed as perfection
A bloodless war is a fairytale
The toll rises of the war dead
Government lies to cover civilian death
Who are the war dead?
As statesmen posture with their fallacious threats
Innocents are wiped out, the real consequence
|
||||
2. |
No Dystopia
01:13
|
|
||
|
Deceit and lies
Deception and violation
Gendered warfare endorsed and protected
Sexual abuse is a police policy and dead children are worn as a disguise
Lifelong trauma
No Dystopia
Body hacked
Raped by the state
Collateral damage of enhanced cover
Human lives are a means to an end
|
||||

Empowered By Hate
01:57
|
|
||
|
Hatred cultivated and the opposition destroyed
Populist white supremacy with poverty externalised
Scapegoating and toxicity licensed
With a deadly consequence
Swastikas obscured behind the union jack
But the propagators of the misery are not the ones under attack
What was one hidden is now back in the open
The racist beast has been awoken
Propaganda and distortion is empowered by fear
Fascism is utilised and violence is no surprise
Vile symbols of hate and malice
A rotten legacy
A search for mythic glory breeds a culture of barbarity
|

Catalogue of Murder
00:59
|
|
||
|
Constant increase to the catalogue of murder
Killing fuelled by bigotry
Protection and corruption from the bottom to the top
No accountability just an endless cover up
Institutional racism and systemic abuse
Reliant upon ignorance and apathy
Misinformation and deception guiding public perceptions
Distracting from the culture of force
Unlawful killings but who police the police?
Independent police commission a contradiction in terms
A death in the system leaves the bereaved to fight
No convictions, no justice, the police are above the law
No justice, just further injury
No justice, just more denial
|
||||
5. |
Tyranny of the Majority
01:56
|
|
||
|
Freedom for the powerful and for the elite
Free speech for the few, the freedom to attack
Tyranny of the majority
The imposition of misery
The privilege of power is the freedom to attack
The maintenance of victimisation
With what do you stand?
The cruel jokes of the sadist of the cry of the oppressed?
Misogyny and racism backed by the law
Obeying the oppressors of the poor and despised
Erosion of liberty sees the threat amplified
Condemned, weaponised and dehumanised
Obedience
Passive obedience
|
||||
6. |
Borders Kill
02:35
|
|
||
|
A toxified landscape of dehumanisation
Guilt is refused when the consequences show
A deadly climate of their creation
Executions by proxy
No dissasociation or justification for this vile legacy
Can't absolve their conscience
Borders Kill
The blood on their hands
Reject fabrications
Tear down the fences that keep us divided
Freedom of movement
Destroy their borders
|
||||
7. |
Pick Your Master...
02:08
|
|
||
|
Pacification through a brief moment of engagement
No government has ever abolished itself
You can't vote away the rich's wealth
Illusions disguise where true power lies
Violent revolution is the only solution
Mass delusion
Pick your master...
The illusion of a choice
There is no lesser evil
Don't get burnt again
|
||||
8. |
Living Nightmare
01:14
|
|
||
|
An entire community smeared and demonised
Methodical cover ups and endless lies
Establishment collusion began whilst the dead were carried to makeshift morgues
Living nightmare
Innocent smeared
Put through hell again
The fight for justice was obstructed at every turn, by a campaign to smear the victims as perpetrators. Through solidarity came total exoneration and a vindication of the fight for justice.

Nuclear Shadow
02:12
|
|
||
|
A relic of a bygone era
Mutual destruction
A patriotic obsession
A sign of power
Dressed as pragmatic
Nuclear victimhood the only outcome
Suppress the reality
Genocidal consequences of a nuclear holocaust
Indiscriminate Destruction
Mass Murder
Nuclear Shadow
Hell on earth the price of 'security'
Collective Delusion
Annihilation
Revenge disguised as protection
The shadow of annihilation
|
||||
10. |
Built to Control
02:01
|
|
||
|
Capitals henchmen that crush all resentment
A moulded force of rotten apples
Uphold the system and preserve the ruling class
Armed vigilantes that are built to control
Imposing order to crush the poor
Defend class interests, built to control
Racial incarceration to protect the status quo
|
||||
11. |
Resistance
05:24
|
|
||
|
By any means necessary and by all the means available
Every raid, deportation, injustice and arrest
Interrupt the savage rhythm of defeat and aggression
Destroy isolation and subvert state power
Direct action against our common oppressors
Solidarity and sabotage
Identify the enemy and pick your side
Regain the will to take up the fight
Disobey and refuse to stand by
Sabotage and refuse to comply
The frontline of the resistance is everywhere
Resistance
