The corpses pile crushed from the weight
Of thousands of passive thoughts
Thoughts wielding a power
Turning crank
Starting the engines
Opening the gates
Aversion runs out
A wildfire encompassing all
Wealth and power unite
A loving union
Fawning over each other
This is the food
This is the shroud
Feeding the brood
Covering the crowd
The womb that yields
The evil of a nation
The great motherland
Sheltering her followers
With open arms
And a knife in the back
This is womb
This is America
This is the wound
This is America
This is the womb
This is in my top 5 hardcore releases. I was lucky enough to see their last show at Goleta Fest in 1996.
I have the CD, and all their vinyl, and am happy to support it here! Thanks, Council, for putting your releases on bandcamp. RyanTG
Incredible discography. The paper bag 7" on Gravity was a game changer for modern hardcore punk. The lyrics to "Blind" opened my eyes and I never looked back. Ryan Walker
