about

This is our last single until our album is released. The song depicts a very harsh and violent reality that was the oppression and rule of Joseph Stalin during the cold war in Soviet Russia.

lyrics

Freedom dies as the body count rises
Blood stains the soil
The shade of our union
The public blinded by the iron curtain

You built an empire on the backs of your people
Stepping stones for the means to your ends
A crown of thorns, a hollow throne
A shallow grave for all those who oppose

Under watch by the eagle eye
The dead cannot speak

How can I portray this constant pain
And when I descend, you'll be feeling it
Cities lay in desolation
Society facing execution

And still we suffer from this violent repression

Bend the knee
Surrender control and democracy
Or watch as your children burn
Liberty now just an empty word
Sovereignty in the hands of tyrants

The streets will run with the blood of dissidents
Where will you turn
Now that your god has abandoned you?
Where will you turn when all else fails?

How can I portray this constant pain
And when I desend, you'll be feeling it (x2)

Cities lay in desolation
Society facing execution

You'll be feeling it

The death of one, a tragedy
The death of a million, a mere fucking statistic

Under watch, from the eagle eye
The dead cannot speak

Salt the Earth (x2)
