Stranger than fiction,
Darker than death,
Cattle herded to their doom
Barrels of bullshit,
Proud and grotesque,
Fascists in the war room
Ego and madness,
Wrath and deceit,
Some lessons can't be learned
Spewing out words
That are stuck on repeat,
Let's make the tyrant burn
'Cause he's a...
Bastard!
Visage of apocalypse
Coward!
Bottom feeding nepotist
Liar!
On your words
You will drown
The hammer of justice
Will strike you down!
Disciple of darkness,
Soul-less elite,
Knuckle dragging creeper
Holy Ghost harkens,
A brain incomplete,
Face of the reaper
Stranger than fiction,
Darker than death,
Cattle herded to their doom
Barrels of bullshit,
Proud and grotesque,
Fascists in the war room
Freedom fighters!
Torchbearers of revolution!
Hear me!
Generations of the future will inherit our every flaw, our crises.
For their sake we must topple our nefarious leaders from their top heavy pedestals, exposing their every fraud.
The power of the ideal is the impetus driving us toward inevitable revolution.
It is the secret weapon of the masses.
No cage may contain it.
no obstacle may discourage it.
no force may kill it.
Ideals are invincible!
The chains that you bind us with we will break.
The cells you confine us with
we will escape.
The walls you divide us with
we will topple.
The systems you oppress with
we will throttle

This record is fucking phenomenal. Period. From beginning to end, it's so lush in its attack. The build up to the final track will give you goosebumps, as well as make you tear up, raise your fist in the air, or all three at once. Don't pass this up. Jared Singleton
A bite-size serving of power pop from a rising Virginia band equipped with three different guitarists; riff snobs won't be disappointed. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 18, 2024
