lyrics

Mountains of research and stacks of evidence guaranteed to go to waste. What makes a man tell a lie? What kind of gain have they got that compensates the tragedy they are bound to pay. Our cities will be washed away at this pace. What makes a man tell a lie? What makes a man tell a lie? It’s breaking away. Last spec of your legacy. You will be the scrap in our damaged past. Rising tides. We’re the lucky ones. Closed eyes. Had a good run. Good bye! We’ve been crushed by cruel lies. Nobody wants this so why are we haunted by loud mouthed, angry heads of state? What makes a man tell a lie? What kind of gain have they got to fabricate a narrative they know to be fake and contradicts the overwhelming majority? What makes a man tell a lie? What makes a man tell a lie? It’s breaking away. Last spec of your legacy. You will be the scrap in our damaged past. Rising tides. We’re the lucky ones. Closed eyes. Had a good run. Good bye! We’ve been crushed by cruel lies. Our feet are chained to a stone. At the edge of a long wharf staring down below. Our odds look bleak. Dare I say, we’ll make it anyway. Their rhetoric is flawed. It’s bound to break and fade away. It’s breaking away. Last spec of your legacy. You will be a scrap in our damaged past.

Blood Built Empire Somerville, Massachusetts

A 3-piece sonic maelstrom of angular, booming beats mixed with head-bangable riffs rumbling angrily beneath scathing male and female vocals.
