WERE LOSING LIGHT
WAITING TO IGNITE
EACH HAND, HAMMER AND NAIL BROKE AND BRUISED WAITING TO EXHALE
WERE LOSING LIGHT
WAITING TO IGNITE
OUR SOULS CHAINED TO THIS EARTH
DIGGING SO DEEP TO FIND OUR WORTH
WE'VE BEEN FED THESE LIES
FOR THE LAST TIME
WE'VE BEEN FORCED TO THE BACK OF THE LONGEST LINE
GIVEN UP HOPE
AT THE END OF OUR ROPE
HANGING FEET FIRST
AS WE FUCKING CHOKE
THE WOLVES ARE BARKING
AT OUR DOORS
HOWLING FOR BLOOD AND CRAVING FOR MORE
A NEED TO RUN
AS WERE FORCED TO STAY SEARCHING FOR WAYS
TOO KEEPS THE WOLVES AWAY
WE NEVER WANTED WAR
DAMN THESE WRETCHED VULTURES
THESE CALLOUSED HANDS CAN'T
TELL THE FUTURE
WE NEVER WANTED BLOOD
CAST THESE LAST STONES TO THE SKY
THESE LUNGS WERENT MEANT TO BREATH IN LIES
CAN'T SHAKE THIS CONSTANT FEELING THAT WERE ALL DESTINED TO BREAK
GIVEN SO MUCH OF OURSELVES
HOW MUCH MORE CAN
THEY FUCKING TAKE?
THIS WATER KEEPS ON RISING
WHILE WE GO DOWN WITH THE SHIP WE WHISPER OUR REGRETS WITH LIES FROM THEIR LIPS
OUR BLACK BLOOD DRIPS FROM
THEIR FINGER TIPS
WE NEVER WANTED WAR
DAMN THESE WRETCHED VULTURES
THESE CALLOUSED HANDS CANT TELL THE FUTURE
WE NEVER WANTED BLOOD
CAST THESE LAST STONES TO THE SKY
THESE LUNGS WEREN'T MEANT TO BREATH IN LIES
WE STAND ALONE
ON THE RUINS OF KINGDOM WALLS
LEFT BEHIND THE REIGN
AS YOUR EMPIRE FALLS
WE NEVER WANTED WAR
DAMN THESE WRETCHED VULTURES
THESE CALLOUSED HANDS
CAN'T TELL THE FUTURE
WE NEVER WANTED BLOOD
CAST THESE LAST STONES TO THE SKY
THESE LUNGS WEREN'T MEANT TO BREATH IN LIES

I CIRCLE DOWN THE DRAIN
NO SECOND CHANCE
A FRAIL MIND A PATHETIC STANCE COLD COMFORT OF THIS WORLD
PRESSING ON MY CHEST PRESSURE ON MY MIND PUSHING ME TO CRACK
I DRAGGING MY FEET
THROUGH BROKEN GLASS
SO SICK SO SICK OF FEELING NUMB
NUMB TO THIS WORLD
IM DONE
GIMME THE PAIN
TAKE IT AWAY
BRING ME THE END
GIVEN ALL I CAN BEAR IM CLOSING CASKETS AND
IM DIGGING GRAVES
NO MORE HOPELESS NIGHTS
OR ENDLESS DAYS
SLEEPING EYES OPEN TO THE TRUTH
SHEDDING MY DEAD WEIGHT
SLICING MY OWN ROPE
IM RUNNING FROM NO GOD ABOVE IM RUNNING TO NO GOD BELOW
GIVE ME THE PAIN
TAKE IT AWAY
BRING ME THE END
GIVEN ALL I CAN BEAR
NO ONE CAN SAVE US FROM THIS HELL NO ONE CAN SAVE US BUT OURSELVES
GIMME THE PAIN
TAKE IT AWAY
BRING ME THE END
TAKE ME AWAY TAKE ME AWAY

THE SYSTEM WAS NOT BUILT FOR US, WE'VE BEEN BURIED IN THE DARK, HARDENED BY THE FISTS OF TIME, AND FORGOTTEN FROM THE START, THANKFUL YOU'RE STILL HANGING ON, THEYRE THANKFUL FOR YOUR PAIN.
WE WILL SCATTER THEM TO THE WIND, WHEN THEIR POWER FADES
WE WANT REVENGE, FOR EVERY MINUTE LOST, BLOOD LEFT ON THE BLADE.
NOT SCARED OF THE COST.
WATCH THE FUCKERS SCATTER FROM THEIR DYING STATE,
WE WILL BURY THEM IN THE GROUND, LAID TO REST WITH THEIR HATE
NO LONGER WILL WE TOIL
FOR DAYS THAT AREN'T OUR OWN, THESE HANDS HAVE BUILT THE WORLD FOR MEN THAT OWN OUR SOULS, NO LONGER WILL WE WAIT FOR NIGHT TO HOLD OUR HEAD, OUR BACKS WILL HOLD UP THE WEIGHT OF THE DEAD
NOSE TO THE GRINDSTONE
HAND IN THE FLAMES
YOU WILL FEEL OUR ANGER YOU WILL FEEL OUR PAIN, THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD, HEAVIER THAN BEFORE, WITH OUR BROKEN BACKS WERE BOOTING DOWN YOUR DOOR
WE WANT REVENGE FOR EVERY MINUTE LOST.
BLOOD LEFT ON THE BLADE.
NOT SCARED OF THE COST.
WATCH THE FUCKERS SCATTER FROM THEIR DYING STATE,
WE WILL BURY THEM IN THE GROUND, LAID TO REST WITH THEIR HATE

THE DEPTHS IN WHICH I WALLOW
HAVE NEVER FELT SO DEEP
THE GRAVESTONE AND
ITS SHADOW ARE COMING FOR ME IN MY SLEEP
THE STORM AND IT'S TEETH
ARE RAGING AROUND ME
THE POWER OF ITS EYE
THE POWER OF ITS TRANCE
ARE BRINGING ME TOO MY KNEES
I CANT ESCAPE
I CANT ESCAPE MY MIND
I BREAK AT EVERY BEND
THE WILLOW CRIES FOR ME IM A REAPER LIT THE END THE EDGE KEEPS MOVING
SO FAR FROM MY FEET
THE BONES IN THIS BROKEN BODY
ARE ONLY SHOWING DECEIT
THE SORROW AND THIS SADNESS
ITS CLAWS ARE DEEP IN ME
DRAGGING ME DOWN
DRAGGING FROM BELOW
PULLING ME FROM ME KNEES
I CANT ESCAPE
I CANT ESCAPE MY MIND
I BREAK AT EVERY BEND
THE WILLOW CRIES FOR ME IM A REAPER LIT THE END WE WALK HAND IN HAND WITH DEATH EVERYDAY
I CANT ESCAPE THIS TIME
I'VE BROKEN ALL MY TIES
THE WILLOW CRIES FOR ME
SEE THE FEAR IN MY EYES
I CANT ESCAPE MY MIND
I BREAK AT EVERY BEND
THE WILLOW CRIES FOR ME IM A REAPER TIL THE END

Powerful in every way, this DC hardcore group's first full-length is the siren song to having no home as a person of color—in punk, in society, in America. It could not have arrived at a more appropriate time.

I'm annoyed with my self that I slept on this record/band for so long. I missed the first press but luckily scored the second before it sold out. Great record....catchy, rough, and with some of the best politics in the Oi scene! Up leftist/progressive Oi! Dudes sent me a beanie and cap with the record also! Rad dudes! Thanks!
