lyrics
Last night I was on my way to... Guards are on the road I'm trying to get through. Guns drawn, a line of war pawns grip me up the slam me to the ground. The high beams grace my alter ego. Just because your whole lives are lived in a gunfight, doesn't mean you have the right to shoot down every life in sight. I look back at the heroes gone and think, "When the hell did everything go so wrong?" I can't put my fingers on the answer to the problems and the damage done. The high beams grace my alter ego. Just because your whole lives are lived in a gunfight, doesn't mean you have the right to shoot down every life in sight. War, I will not honor. We are one world. Death's not your option. Grab your soldiers and rifles, I'll be taking all civilians. The residents are staking their god given rights into their proud graves. We are just hostages molested on their stage. All the roads I've been walking, I'm running. And all the bodies lined for chalk, I'll be chalking. We are the refugees in our own police state. We are the ones that take freedom to our grave. War, I will not honor. We are one world. Death's not your option.
Dead Cross, Retox, and Qui members dish out subversive hardcore with an indignant smirk; come for the riffs, stay for the synth experiments. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 31, 2024
UK82-inspired hardcore punk from Christchurch, New Zealand, gruff and fast and economical and, of course, righteously pissed. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 16, 2020
On their debut record, the London hardcore upstarts cross-up mosh-ready fare with melancholic ambient passages, weeping guitars, and virtuosic vocal harmonies, but its romantic veneer is much more complicated than it seems. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 30, 2019
From the first deadened cowbell to the last dissonant guitar interval, Dutch quartet Geo's new record is shaped for impact. Bandcamp Album of the Day Apr 25, 2024
