[Verse 1]
Burning all the drinks last night
Along with our fears
The only barrier, the divine task
That chains every man
Seed the ground, rise your flag
And wake up of your sleep
The taste of freedom toned down
The screams of revenge
[Verse 2]
Come hear my words
I don't know why we're calling ourselves enemies
For other men we built these walls
But they never came here
And don't know who we are
[Chorus]
Come hear my words
When I say this is not our fight
Unite howling like wolves
Not the dogs under command
Tonight come hear my words
One last time!
[Verse 3]
So take a step back
Our enemies are people like us
They bleed but also cry
Asking why our fates collide
In this ignorant exercise of hate
[Chorus]
Come hear my words
When I say this is not our fight
Unite howling like wolves
Not the dogs under command
Tonight come hear my words
One last time!
[Bass solo]
[Spoken bridge]
(Inside the wall of authority)
(The individual is trapped)
(Only by breaking those barriers)
(We can turn down our selfishness)
(And choose to unite)
(Choose to live for ourselves)
(But together with others who respect us)
(Choose to see the break of dawn)
(And run over these golden fields)
(Never to be afraid)
(Never to be afraid!)
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
So come hear my words
When I say this is not our fight
Unite howling like wolves
Not the dogs under command
Tonight come hear my words
One last time!
Fantastic tech/prog death, with lots of variation and strong melodic lines throughout the songs. The chorus of Epitaph stuck with me for weeks. Easily makes my top 5 of 2021. Lloyd James
