To Die For
03:20
|
|||
|
Their empty stares and the ice-cold vision
They’re self-serving men causing our squalid fate
We’re encaged and fed but always longing
Our sacrifice is no real life
Is this worth living for?
Is this worth striving for?
Am I just passing time while they’re all spreading death?
Is this worth fighting for?
Is this worth crying for?
Obsessed with my own self, distracted by cheap lies
Is this worth hurting for?
Is this worth starving for?
We commit ourselves to pain like rats in a golden cage
Is this worth dying for?
Is this worth killing for?
We destroy all that lives, we are nails in Earth’s coffin

The Poison King
03:36

Lo oking out of the window, there’s one thing
I can see
A mob of servants cheering for His majesty
How dare they c all this life?
We bow, we hail, we worship Him
I gave up my own chi ld to be blessed by this new king
Are the dying still a live?
Poison
This is the greatest walk to the valley of wealth
Ignore the fa llen bodies and follow His command
How dare they call this life?
The silence of the lonely, the violence of the meek
We crowned the son of gold to c ontrol our destiny
How dare they call this life?
Our collective leader will collect our debt
We’re back to feudal times and there’s no one else
to blame
How dare they call this life?
He’s seated on a throne with ou r lives in his hands
Let’s wipe His smug smi le off His blo ody face

New Void Order
03:13
|

|
Stand in line men of cccccourage,
this is the age of uniforms
New void order
Bangs on your door
The fun is over
War has begun
New void order
Yells in your ears
There’s no end to the tunnel
Embrace your fears
They don’t real ly care if we live or die
They do keep us hungry but we don’t starve
I won’t real ly care when they come at night
I am just too feeble to even cry
New void order
Blood on the streets
The fun is over
Hear the marching feet
New void order
Can you feel the heat?
There’s no end to this nightmare
Suppress your fears

Defy Your Fate
03:08
|
|||
|
Beware, beware, oh
yes we’ve been warned
Your leaders were lying, alienation won
Don’t care, don’t care, oh yes we’ve been told
You’d rather people die to preserve your throne
Playing with our fear, oh yes we’ve been sold
To a devouring monster feeding on the poor
So many tears, oh yes we’ve been numbed
Entertained to death so they can drop their bombs
Decry their hate
Rearm your rage
Tell me brother, how could we be conned
Into kneeling at the altar and praying for our doom?
Tell me mummy, tell me why
To relieve our vanity, we all need to slowly die
Father save from your darkest hour
The wold we inherit is an open grave
God please hear me, absolve my sins
I’ve been a nice boy, would you let me in?
Disarm their state
Defy your fate
Why interfere with their power schemes?
Are we helpless dogs ruled by angry gods?
Why disbelieve all the false prophets?
Is my rage so polarized and despair desensitized?
We feed, we breed, begging to the sky
Too anxious to live and too cowardly to die
I want to believe that there’s something more
More than economy or the brink of war
Protest, survive

Boys Will Be Boys
03:22

Hai l our boys, this great nation’s sons
Hail our boys, hail the blood-stained flag
Hail our boys, cuz they’re hard and tough
They’d beat you black and blue in the name of the lord
Hail our boys who protect your freedom
Cracking heads is warfare paid for by your welfare state
They’re taught to hate, fuck, love and kill
Taught to obey, crave for cheap thrills
Boys will be boys, that’s how they breed
Boys will be boys, that’s why you bleed
Hail our boys, fear their combat boots
Hail our boys, kiss their tear-gassed breath
Hail our boys when they maim and rape
Preying on the weak is our national duty
Hail our boys when they go charging
The glowing truncheons is the price of our liberty

Rise And Shine
03:58
|

|
Should I self-destruct? Is this a future?
I fantasize about a glory life
There’s a little hope for my violent death
I can’t relate to what I am
Time to rise, I’m already cold
Time to shine, there’s no l ight at all
Run and hide, break down those wal ls
Wish I could burn, it could save my soul
Am I on the run or just on my own?
Take revenge on the scum
My dreams of action are peaceful dreams
Is a barricade still a hero’s grave?
Rise, shine
I can hear thei r cries, I can hear them scoff
I need a banner of truth, a righteous war to fight
Give me a man to hate, give a man to defend
Give me liberation or give me medication

Violence For Peace
04:08
|

|
Feeling down, feeling low
Al l this anger and frustration
Fuel the violence in your mind
The need to hurt, the lust for murder
Cloud your judgement and your humanity
You have picked a random enemy
Now a good soldier fighting wars
Spil ling blood for your cause
It relieves the tension inside your head
Can’t you hear the screams of the dead?
Now a slave to your master’s voice
It’s an endless cycle of pain and tears
You believe the lies they feed
Can’t even see their own greed
Violence for peace

Can't listen w/o hearing Young Marble Giants, but a more nervous, taut take. All the tracks are great, but can't stop humming the title to myself.

Brutal dark punk from the excellent New York group Pawns fuses razorlike riffs with pitch-black vocals to chilling effect.

Vienna punks Autor precisely balance grim propulsiveness with earworm melodies on this new EP.
