blind and deaf, far too long
made to suffer, trodden on
as the walls kept closing in, signified, kept in line
you wanted us: dehumanized
isolated, but as one
no way out but through
facing death, still we fight, for dignity and with pride
this fire: a beacon of life
you built a prison, we made it our fortress
our revolt, a proof of life
bearing witness to the fight
with the noose around our neck, we'll still kick your teeth in
our hands tied behind our back, we'll make you pay
with the noose around our neck, we'll still kick your teeth in
our hands tied behind our back, we'll still make you pay
we will make you pay!

vanguard

|

|
narrow minds, no escape, oppression rules
factory floor, lecture hall, court room and school
the secret to your riches is the war that you began
but as we rise we`ll make your life another Vietnam
we are the vanguard, this is a spark
fascist pigs patrol the streets - we'll take em out
managers trading death - we'll take em out
death camp guards holding court - we'll take em out
racist thugs in uniform - we'll take em out
we are the vanguard, this is a spark
you are the fire, flames in the dark
prison kills, hunger strike, losing time
breaking out, hidden guns, clandestine
fake ids, robbing banks, hit and run
training camps, hand grenades, scorching sun
isolated, locked away, you thought you won
but we write the rules of war as we go along
supported by the people we can't lose
next time you see your friends, they'll be on the news
we are the vanguard, this is a spark
even if they kill us, we will leave our mark

tunnel brigade

mirrors and smoke, no use for a map
no honour for thieves, you'll die in our trap
our shadows mean death, we hunt like the fox
conquer and kill, you'll leave in a box
fuck your bombs
this means doom
we are the ghosts
building your tomb
veins of resistance, supply lines of pain
we rise from the earth, your tactics inane
the napalm burns out, your nightmare goes on
fever and visions until you are gone
fuck your bombs
this means doom
we are the ghosts
building your tomb
fields of fire
tunnels of dread
billows of smoke
brigade of the dead

trenches

stuck in the trenches, covered in mud
gritting your teeth, smelling the blood
die for the rich, poisonous gas,
blinded by fear, you kill your own class
working class war!
assembly line, minimum wage
too tired to think, bottled up rage
rise from the trenches!
step out of line!
work for the rich, breaking your back
enough is enough, time to strike back
rise from the trenches!
step out of line!
working class war!

Shoegaze overdosing on meth and caffeine pills. Every release on Cloudrat's discography is a different flavor of insanity. This one is rocky road with a twist of antifreeze.
