Our finger’s on the trigger
Slip from sanity
You know I’m losing it
Give in to this hate that’s been bred in me
Indoctrinated this from birth
Taught the foundations to live in this world with apathy
The powerless and enslaved
Gagged, bound and in chains
We are the hopeless generation
But still you wave your flags and say it’s all in the past
You say I’m free
An every Invasion Day
The attempted assimilation of my ancestry
Becomes so clear to me
The underlining racism and bigotry
But still you wave your flags and say it’s all in the past
It was cultural genocide
But still you wave your flags and tell me free
Don’t tell me I’m free
And in 1788 death was brought to this place
Cultural annihilation
A time in history that will resonate
But still you wave your flag and tell me I’m free
On their debut record, the London hardcore upstarts cross-up mosh-ready fare with melancholic ambient passages, weeping guitars, and virtuosic vocal harmonies, but its romantic veneer is much more complicated than it seems. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 30, 2019
