lyrics
Occupation paves the way for war machines and apathy
The newsprint smears disguising the lives we should be grieving
These concrete walls aren't victory, the olive trees aren't breathing
Their monuments to tragedy are the mass graves we're digging
Whispered stories through the cyclone fence
Is it poetry or fear?
Another story about the way things went
No subtleties in tears
And we can never hear the bombs drop
behind the barricades and body counts
Gnash our teeth and sign along
as the vultures swarm and carry us away
And we can’t see where the tanks crawl
behind the fire lines and broken walls
Shut our eyes and play along
as the vultures swarm and carry us away
Bullets fall in hails
We never see the bodies drop
as the vultures swarm and carry us away
Can’t speak – we don’t know the language
Can’t breathe – we choke on the anthems
Can’t dream – we’re broken and banned from a place called home
Checkpoints map cartographies of stolen land and refugees
They unstitch the clothes they're wearing to sew the tents they sleep in
They hold the keys their parents saved but the locks and doors are gone
Is it a prison where you sleep at night if you can still see the stars?
Just an amazing record from some great dudes. IMHO this record is an instant classic. In 20 years we'll still be singing along to it. Underground Communique Records
supported by 4 fans who also own “Wartime Lullaby”
Shevchuk is a singular voice and energy. I haven’t listened to his stuff in a while but randomly saw he made an album post-LaGrecia and immediately re-immersed. His songs hit so hard (the chorus + last minute of Goat of Dover 🥴). I hope he keeps creating forever. dbend
