if you want blood please bleed me dry
because its better to fight and die than do live and love on broken knees
and no matter what is said heads are going to get kicked in and blood will flow like rivers to cleanse this servitude

yuppies to ashes rich to dust
its time for the poor to even the score
ransack their homes pulverize their bones
rich scum left to twitch in a ditch

we have lived four (for) walls
let us die free
we have lived four walls
may we die free
when nothing is left but this corpse may my death become a seed and drag my body into the wood
do not bury me
so the plants may grow and acorns sow and vultures come to feed

dirt under my nails
dirt like me and our blood runs black
as days run on becoming one
we sleep ... eat and work
knowing the end for us lies beneath a stone ... rains water seeps in
this concrete earth is home

acid clouds and skeleton trees
beaches blackened with oil
charred field and burning forest
gutted earth and poisoned seas
the rotting corpse of millions dead as rich scum rape and plunder
what will be gained and who must pay
when nothing sacred remains
death clouds roll with thunder as the sky is lit with fire
the black earth opens its mouth to reclaim human greed

another day...another child is born to die
and our lives have already been spent
field and factory like so many graves and in the end our life doesn't mean shit
when the bluest skies have been blackened and burn like blistered hands
nothing can wash off the stench of the born dead
and smoke will rise like sparrows and buildings will fall like stars
when this world is ours

with time comes change and its dead to live in the past
as every day reminds us of how alive we used ot be
when nothing was everything and living was real and now we are more dead than alive

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!!

3: Flight Of The Behemoth
by SUNN O)))
supported by 4 fans who also own “you can't polish a turd DEMO (2003 - Greensboro, NC)”
Mocking Solemnity, Death Becomes You, and For Whom the Bell Tolls are great. SUNN O))) certainly don't do cover versions in the way other bands do, for sure! I wonder what Cliff Burton would have thought of it...? The four collaborations with Masami Akita/Merzbow aren't my thing, but if you are into it then you can find further collaboration on CroMonolithic Remixes for an Iron Age. "Time marches on..."

Dead Cross, Retox, and Qui members dish out subversive hardcore with an indignant smirk; come for the riffs, stay for the synth experiments.
