4. Queen & Country | Disappointed and
hungry. Striding out against all odds for queen
and country. Faking hard graft for money. Keel
another can and carry all in my name.
Disappointed and hungry. Striding out against
all odds for queen and country. Faking hard
graft for money. Ride another day into the
fucking wall. It is plain to see the choices that
we make are dedicated to the conflict and the
cool. The burden of the noose has cradled all of
you. You’ll chase it to the grave. In structure
we aren’t safe. I am not ashamed I shall not
take the blame. The fingers point at you so you
and yours are through. It’s not easy to say that
we cannot be saved until we face the truth and
turn our backs on you. I see that we still fall in
line behind the rule of 3 (not free), we can’t see
and we’ll never understand what it means to
be. White light shines from our heads. White
knuckled in our stance. My sword ain’t made of
steel, I fight for the right to feel. Remind me
once again with tidings from the end, how I’m
supposed to live whilst you give, give and give.
Work and you can play with your remaining
days. To own the final rays and dance as
grounded slaves. My time upon the stage or
barred wrought iron cage, with guided limbs
misled and nights where dreams have fled. Eyes
where tears were shed and mouths where lies
were fed. A life of memories shared ‘til all is lost
in death. And my sword swings freely.
Finnish death metallers leaven infernal dynamics with triumphant, infectious melodies, striking a compelling balance between grit and grace. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 25, 2023
