Dress The Wounds

(album: Nightmares Of The West - 2020)

I know you'd like to forget
But I need you now to remember
There's more to life than vote and react
Defend and attack

And I'm trying hard not to take it to heart
But the feedback gets to me
Between the gunpoint border
And the fictional virus of our identity

Beyond their control
Beyond petty politics
And weapons of killing time
Beyond the daily war
Beyond criminal damage
And terror police at night

When I wake up
From politics
We made
Will they make us slaves?
Paralyze us:
Test animals for
Killing systems
Run the maze

Now that you've met
Goals that we've set
All on target, all in flight
We won't go gentle into that good night
A peace we live in the heart of the fight

This is our sacred ground
Beyond the petty rusting orders
In a rusting state
White noise surrounds
But it can't seal our fate

And I'm trying hard not to take it to heart
The feedback gets to me
Between the gunpoint border
And the spiritual violence of our identity

Beyond their control
Beyond the days I wonder
If the sound of my voice isn't mine
Sound of my voice isn't mine
Beyond the daily war
The strength comes back
Like a bullet shot through time

Shot

Now we wake up
From politics
Remain
They won't make us slaves
Paralyze us
Test animals for
Killing systems
Run the maze

Now that you've met
Goals that we've set
All on target, all in flight
We won't go gentle into that good night
A peace we live in the heart of the fight

Now that you've met
Goals that we've set
All on target, all in flight
We won't go gentle into that good night
A peace we live in the heart of the fight
