Ripped from the skin, blistering and forgotten
Forced into lines, lemmings eager to make
When the breath in your chest is the weight of an anchor
to give thanks is to kneel, to blink is to be a mistake
Is a lambs only job to be led to the slaughter?
I've been force-fed malicious contempt
When a nation is built on the pride of compliance
the casualty rests in the blockade of pens
Let it burn,
every fucking flag that you swear by,
every acre sprawling in the width of disease
Let it burn,
every crooked border that's manned by
the worst of humanity, shit shining clean
Let it burn
In dreams I see blue waves crumbling,
pigs squeal for industry, loss of the dream
Let it burn
Corporate tongues salivate for
the blood in your skin, oh, the sweetest sanguine
Choice is a joke told on first class trips
to the meat packing plants, run by predators, hungry
Prophets spew epithets, "Safety or freedom?"
as if either were options in a country of plenty
Carnivorous spectors, their prospects are filled
by the heads in the sand, fucking patriots pride
What I'd give to give up, never serve as a jester
for the redness of mouths or the deadness of eyes
This war has no sides
A promise made I won't leave alive
A predetermined outcome awaits
only those graced with the traits to survive
This war has no sides
A life lived viewed as playful pastime
I'm so tired, just kill the fucking lights
The burden of hope, like a thief in the night

I love it when an album that is not my usual thing hits so hard. Great songs and instrumentation all around; I especially love the guitar stutter on Floreal over the chiptune rhythm track. barnaby nygren
