About Me

BETTER LIVES HAVE BEEN LIVED IN THE MARGINS, LOCKED IN THE PRISONS AND LOST ON THE GALLOWS THAN HAVE EVER BEEN ENSHRINED IN PALACES.

Influences: god, life, love, friends and the pursuit of quality music.
Sounds Like: A mass of hands press on the market window/ Ghosts of progress/ Dressed in slow death/ Feeding on hunger/ And glaring through the promise/ Upon the food that rots slowly in the aisle/ A mass of nameless at the oasis/ That hides the graves beneath the masters hill// Buried for drinking/ The rivers water/ While shackled to the line/ At the empty well/This is the new sound/ Just like the old sound/ Just like the noose wound/ Over the new ground/Listen to the fascist sing/ Take hope here/ War is elsewhere/ You were chosen/ This is god's land/ Soon well be free/ Of blot and mixture/ Seeds planted by our/ Forefathers hand/A mass of promises/ Begin to rupture/ Like the pockets/ Of the new world kings/ Like swollen stomachs/ In Appalachia/ Like the priests that fuck you/ As they whisper holy things/ A mass of tears have transformed to stones now/ Sharpened on suffering/ Woven into slings/ Hope lies in the rubble of this rich fortress/ Taking today what tomorrow never brings/This is the new sound/ Just like the old sound/ Just like the noose wound/ Over new ground//Aint it funny how the factorys doors close/ Round the time that the school doors close/ Round the time that the doors of the jail cells/ Open up to greet you like the reaper/ Aint it funny how the factorys doors close/ Round the time that the school doors close/ Round the time that a hundred thousand jail cells/ Open up to greet you like the reaper/This is the new sound/ Just like the old sound/ Just like the noose wound/ Over the new ground//////////Like ashes in the fall
