lyrics
Trend of the day, rape and betray
The colourful smokescreen of false unity
Lies and deceit, free hand outs and cheats
Corruption and greed still running deep
The vultures take flight
Is this the gold at the end of the rainbow
Another mass action strike, like the beggar that knocks at your window
Don’t forget to scrub your back
It’s better to earn than to plead
The fat cat that eats and eats and eats
I’m sorry to say
It’s all gone astray, the spear of infidelity
What’s the cause, the flavour of the day
Here’s 34 reasons why it’s not working out
Truth reconciled, race, the poster child
Nameless faces look what we’ve all become
A worldwide scapegoat for past horrors done
Trend of the day, rape and betray
The colourful smokescreen of false unity
Lies and deceit, free hand outs and cheats
Corruption and greed still running deep
Waste, unity, space, a luxury
The secrecy doesn’t matter to me, free speech ended when we all become free
You’re kidding me, underprivileged is the name of the game
Black and white certainly does make grey
Forefathers shame my debt to be paid
Trend of the day, rape and betray
The colourful smokescreen of false unity
Lies and deceit, free hand outs and cheats
Corruption and greed still running deep
This here is a sweet mockery
The only enemy between us driven on for fear of yesterday
This here is a sweet mockery
Politics the strangest fellow it’s the bed they’ve made that we must slay
My mind speaks of riches, my heart dismay
Ignite the necklace, democracy is bliss
A rose by any other still reeks of shit
Our past provides through burdened eyes, a smokescreen for our own demise
Sounds the call to come together
Praise the bastards beat the fairies
Nkosi fucking sikelel’
My mind speaks of riches, my heart dismay
The colourful smokescreen of false unity
Lies and deceit, free hand outs and cheats
Corruption and greed still running deep
The vultures take flight
Is this the gold at the end of the rainbow
Another mass action strike, like the beggar that knocks at your window
Don’t forget to scrub your back
It’s better to earn than to plead
The fat cat that eats and eats and eats
I’m sorry to say
It’s all gone astray, the spear of infidelity
What’s the cause, the flavour of the day
Here’s 34 reasons why it’s not working out
Truth reconciled, race, the poster child
Nameless faces look what we’ve all become
A worldwide scapegoat for past horrors done
Trend of the day, rape and betray
The colourful smokescreen of false unity
Lies and deceit, free hand outs and cheats
Corruption and greed still running deep
Waste, unity, space, a luxury
The secrecy doesn’t matter to me, free speech ended when we all become free
You’re kidding me, underprivileged is the name of the game
Black and white certainly does make grey
Forefathers shame my debt to be paid
Trend of the day, rape and betray
The colourful smokescreen of false unity
Lies and deceit, free hand outs and cheats
Corruption and greed still running deep
This here is a sweet mockery
The only enemy between us driven on for fear of yesterday
This here is a sweet mockery
Politics the strangest fellow it’s the bed they’ve made that we must slay

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album.

I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians!
