1.
Benumbing distraction Merciless exhaustion Pursued by a gloom Whose pain I exhume Damning fixation Seethe with frustration My acts self-defeating Never receding Slow suffocation Self immolation Fading memory Loss of certainty Internalised writhing Malevolence Rising Brooding with grief I curse and scream At all the things that will not be At all the things now left behind Disbelief has left me blind Blind
2.
Detonation 01:25
Skating the thin ice of civility Nursing the bigot insidiously Perpetual mindset of emergency Quietly stripping our humanity Aberration....Condemnation....Rise Compliance in silence....rise defiant Polity whores-out our democracy The death of salvation religiosity Broken veneer masking society Exposes our nature our hypocrisy Aberration Condemnation Detonation
3.
Requiem 02:39
Born into privilege Bequeathed no allegiance To notions of plutocracy Whose sense of injustice Intolerance to prejudice Rose universal opportunity Broke the back of old power So cold and pernicious Discrimination the enemy With foresight and vision Made evident what we could be That society’s our responsibility With strident conviction Old barriers were torn down Unapologetic equality In the hands of Lingiari Passed back to the Gurindji Their lands and restored dignity Equity Identity Legacy Humanity From malice to tolerance Stagnation to progress Ignorance to potentiality Conceived new horizons This old man indelible Antiquity to modernity You’ll live on in our memory…..
4.
Spare me your rhetoric your hubris your hypocrisy That preaches deliverance with hectoring paternality Institute panic, sabotage accountability Feign consternation, our siege mentality Spare me your warnings, your fictitious catastrophes That drown out perspective a chorus of incredulity Spare me your indifference, your certainty, your morality That reveals itself as an established oligarchy Delegitimise me Desensitise me Traumatise me Anaesthetise me..
5.
Embers of dying empire, crush humanity Under the weight of old scores, pertinacious apathy Echoes of promised valor born of shrapnel and barbed wire No kiss of death is colder than this baptism of fire Like a garrote round my neck Like a skin I cannot shed What’s left to me but madness Amongst monuments to death Devotion…….Shackled to a corpse Sedation…….Shackled to a corpse Conscription…….Shackled to a corpse Damnation
6.
Empires of dust and bone disavow reality Manipulate the sobering truth and sheer brutality Of a world gone mad that shed all semblance of humanity Consequences absent from their ideology The powerful keep an iron grip Through their use of deceit and guile And enamour us towards Their simplistic doctrine of denial Why won’t we see (x2) Tragic implications Of myopic lifestyles That obfuscates who we could be Will be no excuse In the eyes of our children Our destiny ignominy……go Harness your power to be Realise your power to be Celebrate your power to be Enforce your power to be Enforce your power to be
7.
Empty barrels Vacuous morons Dangerous hubris Idiot Icons…….No Heretic sophists Ensure silence Where willful blindness Is foresight…..No None so blind….Blind
8.
Sewn Shut 01:51
Fleeing persecution Sanctify our morality Penal Institutions Parsimonious our amnesty Sewn shut our lips against mendacity Sewn shut our eyes to this catastrophe Perpetual retribution Obscure cruelling legality Writ of execution Our satellites have reached apogee Sewn shut our ears in callous apathy Sewn shut bespeaks our inhumanity Brutality Depravity Finality Calamity Our obdurate refusal to call out this insanity Breathes life tacit approval into this needless tragedy
9.
Isolation, trepidation, walls close in around me Siren songs of grief call forth my labyrinth……of loathing absurdity Without warning, falling through the chasms in my mind Bleeding anguish, drip-feeds my abyss……a 1000 years wide Self-defeating Guilt unceasing Overpowering All devouring Rest never dwells Hope never comes Waves of silent screams Never ending My hell compels mourning….for all that could have been And never was

about

After much procrastination, here it finally is.......our third album. Because we were so slack in making it available, we've decided to make the download version free.

We still have grand designs to release it as a 45rpm 12" EP. If you are a label and want to release it, get in touch. Otherwise share it about.
