"The need to let suffering speak is the condition of all truth."
- Theodor W. Adorno
lyrics
Absolute refusal of all that seeks to pacify,
To dull this sword of mine,
Forged in secret, forged in plain sight,
It sings a song that gives me life
Against a culture obsessed with sedation,
A population dedicated to mass intoxication,
My undying allegiance to liberation,
I wield this weapon of self determination
For my suffering is my own,
It cannot be bought, it cannot be sold,
Drugs only seek to eliminate,
The things that are truly mine,
My joy and my rage
What do we have if not our suffering?
Mara and Mammon, the gods to which you pray,
Within your words I feel their taint
Their poisoned fingers graze my face...
Provoking me to embrace,
Self destruction and self hate,
But I refuse this fate
I turned myself into a blade,
I forged myself in the flames,
Against injustice, this war we wage,
Until all are free, I will remain...
The West Coast's best Vegan Straight Edge band in the game. This is a monster of an EP and California proves time and time again that it makes some of the best Hardcore in the world. armedpsyche
