Blood Bath 04:03
lyrics
I was born into a blood bath To inherit father pain All the people marching here and back Across their brother's graves How the call of the drum grows louder As if pounding through my heart All our footsteps are united As we tear other souls apart Now the call to take up armor And to fight other souls to death So that I might find my freedom Steels our souls from rest How I have followed and lost my own will I'd like to run home and fight to be still Coward or not, it seems wrong to obey And fight in a war that another man made I was born into a blood bath

about

A new single from our upcoming record "Landmine"

"Blood Bath" seeks to connect to the powerless emotion in all of us, waking up, wondering how to protect ourselves and our families from the downtrodden world around us. Whether republican or democratic, conservative or liberal, passive or aggressive, we all know what it feels like to be lost in a war, so much so, that we cannot remember why we started fighting. If we couple this fear with the fear that if we don't fight, someone might get hurt, we start to understand what it's like to be an innocent civilian unable to escape certain detriment. So let us shout together at the unfair battles we did not start, and may we mourn the loss of our brothers and sisters, hoping to grieve loss across the nations rather than boast in selfish victories.

Live tracks recorded in a Slaughter House in St. Matthews, S.C. owned by the Millender family (of the Millender's Bar-B-Que Place of West Columbia). Overdubs recorded in an assortment of places around Columbia, S.C.
