Broken promises, zero reward
They sold us a lie, independence flawed
The eighties were bad, well is today worse?
Made to suffer from another Tory curse
Eat or heat now is the choice
Given the chance we wasted our voice
“Manage by ourselves, it’s the British way”
Watch the facts crumble until it’s too late
Vote to be independent you got it all wrong
You didn’t have the facts you just propped up the con
51 to 59 and it’ll be just fine
Not too good beneath the poverty line
Brexit barriers and Tory abuse
That’s what we did with our right to choose
More than just the lies on that bus
Just to make the country worse was it worth the fuss?

Gone in a blink
Burnt to the brink
Die in a trench live forever in the ink
I’m in so much pain but my life is not in vain
‘Cause I won when others lost, and I can’t outrun the cost
Tick-tock, off the clock
Ten hours to beat the rock
Tick-tock, off the clock
Ten hours to beat the rock
Gone in a blink
Burnt to the brink
Die in a trench live forever in the ink
I’m in so much pain but my life is not in vain
‘Cause I won when others lost, and I can’t outrun the cost
Tick-tock, off the clock
Ten hours to beat the rock
Tick-tock, off the clock
Ten hours to beat the rock
I’m in so much pain but my life is not in vain
‘Cause I won when others lost, and I can never outrun the cost
Tick-tock, off the clock
Ten hours to beat the rock
Tick-tock, off the clock
Ten hours to beat the rock
Tick-tock, off the clock
Ten hours to beat the rock
Tick-tock, off the clock
Ten hours to beat the rock

No Room For The Dead
03:45

Horrific reality yet we close our eyes
See it too often and become desensitised
Death toll rises day after day
Turn off the news channels and it all goes away
Innocent people they didn’t stand a chance
Lives are extinguished but we barely share a glance
Children in the wrong place will never grow up
Laid dead in the rubble parents stare stunned
Graveyards are now rammed to the brink
The stench of death is really starting to stink
Makeshift morgues in any spare room
The dead family’s home is now a cold tomb
Innocent people they didn’t stand a chance
Lives are extinguished but we barely share a glance
Children in the wrong place will never grow up
Laid dead in the rubble parents stare stunned
No room for the dead, now everywhere is full
Unexpected tragedies, could happen to you
No room for the dead, now everywhere is full
Unexpected tragedies, could happen to you

A Familiar Curse
03:28
|

|
I'm sinking, spiralling, starting to crack
One step forward, two steps back
Living my life was my only crime
Determined to live after all this time
Your fault, my fault, why are we here?
Deeper and deeper into what I fear
I resent this familiar curse, everything I do just makes things worse
Mould me, form me to be who you choose, without a care, emotion entombed
I resent this familiar curse, everything I do just makes things worse
I resent this familiar curse, everything I do just makes things worse
I'm sinking, spiralling, starting to crack
One step forward, two steps back
Living my life was my only crime
Determined to live after all this time
Your fault, my fault, why are we here?
Deeper and deeper into what I most fear
I resent this familiar curse, everything I do just makes things worse
Mould me, form me to be who you choose, without a care, emotion entombed
I resent this familiar curse, everything I do just makes things worse
I resent this familiar curse, everything I do just makes
A bond, a love that we create,
Why did it all turn to hate?
Care, inspire, learn right from wrong,
Turns to sadness, what was once so strong
Nurture, respect, turned on its head
Now we're just strangers alone and bereft
I looked up to you but you tore me down
Disrespected and thrown around
I resent this familiar curse, everything I do just makes things worse
Mould me, form me to be who you choose, without a care, emotion entombed
I resent this familiar curse, everything I do just makes things worse
I resent this familiar curse, everything I do just makes things worse
A bond, a love that we create,
Why did it all turn to hate?
Care, inspire, learn right from wrong,
Turns to sadness, what was once so strong
Nurture, respect, turned on its head
Now we're just strangers alone and bereft
I looked up to you but you tore me down
Disrespected, thrown around
I resent this familiar curse, everything I do just makes things worse
Mould me, form me to be who you choose, without a care, emotion entombed
I resent this familiar curse, everything I do just makes things worse
I resent this familiar curse, everything I do just makes things worse

Worked To Death
03:35

Where will you be when the planes take flight?
Where will you be when they leave you to fight?
You know they don't care and you know they never will
You know they'll exploit you for another cheap thrill
Worked to death for the launching of a rocket
Worked to death, for the lining of their pockets
Another fucking sycophant is sucking off the rich
Another lied to hustler dies in a ditch
They speak like it's for us but it's strictly made for them
Profiteering kills the planet but it's us that they condemn
Power grows, the line goes up and you're the one who suffers
Will you help your fellow man or merely blank the others?
Worked to death for the launching of a rocket
Worked to death, for the lining of their pockets
Another self-help Instagram is sucking off the rich
Another lied to hustler dies in a ditch
Will we come together as we're left behind to rot?
Will you turn to strength and love as they escape in yachts?
The coppers enter town to keep you in your place
We are facing the end of the human race
Worked to death for the launching of a rocket
Worked to death, for the lining of their pockets
Another self-help Instagram is sucking off the rich
Another lied to hustler dies in a ditch
Worked To Death!

Rejects Of Society
02:40

Cost of living riding high,
They stand back and watch as we die
Children, mothers, you and me
Punishing rejects of society
Energy prices, council tax
Communities die while they make stacks
Money prized from the poorest ones
Snatched by our rulers in enormous sums
Families stand in food bank queues
It's not their fault, there's nothing they can do
Lied to, conned and kicked in the shit
Rejects of society, a system unfit
Cost of living riding high,
They stand back and watch as we die
Children, mothers, you and me
Punishing rejects of society
Families stand in food bank queues
It's not their fault, there's nothing they can do
Lied to, conned and kicked in the shit
Rejects of society, a system unfit
The systems broken, they're the symptom [x4]
The system!

So called friends always bringing me down
Times I smile fade now all I do is frown
Everything I did had some kind of reason
Now I just can’t seem to find the purpose
I think I’m going to self-destruct
I can’t take it I’ve had enough
Normality starts to disrupt
Lessons in self-destruction
You stab me in the back yet I come back for more
Drink away reality until collapsed on a floor
Come back next day and do it all again
Self-destructive lifestyle when will it ever end?
I think I’m going to self-destruct
I can’t take it I’ve had enough
Normality starts to disrupt
Lessons in self-destruction
Falling ever further into my own demise
I can’t face reality do I live with all my lies?
If I don’t make a change today then when?
Fall short, make excuses, do it all again

You're not even gatekeeping, there's no one at the gates
We've crossed you out and formed a safer space
You're not on the edge, the edge of existence
Persistently, tragically trying to resist us
Chorus
So gatekeep away, we know where we stand
Smashing in your face with the bricks in our hands
Sleep in your scorn, spit in your approval
Nothing to lose from a Nazi accusal
You're not even gatekeeping, there's no one at the gates
We've crossed you out and formed a safer space
You're not on the edge, the edge of existence
Persistently, tragically trying to resist us
So gatekeep away, we know where we stand
Smashing in your face with the bricks in our hands
Sleep in your scorn, spit in your approval
Nothing to lose from a Nazi accusal
--Breakdown--
Another dumb face of the master race
Another dumb mind, a rotten disgrace
Ignorant lies running in your head
Never listened to a word you said
Now whose skull’s a different shape?

My favorite Doom album and the first release I bought from them. Although not revolutionary, I especially love the use of spoken words or speeches over music, and the rapid buildup to Apostasy at the end of the opening speech.

BURNING FLAGS amazing! I just stumbled across their music one day, and I'm so happy I did! I can't wait for the new album to drop 😀

The Italian hardcore group’s latest is a powerful, claustrophobic album that rarely lets up its mathy, metallic assault.

Polish noise-crust outfit eschews the big Tragedy-esque riffs still popular with their US counterparts for scratchy claustrophobia.

SERPETTE

On their ferocious self-titled debut, the Australian punks pit d-beat percussion against gnarled, metallic melodies.

Ska Punk as good as it gets. Other bands would benefit from taking notes. Culture Shock is relevant as always with the contemporary lyrics, and the music will force you to nod in rhythm whether you want to or not.
