lyrics

for the demagogues have already paved the road to an endless battle amongst the scavengers. tearing down, flesh by vicious flesh, what could have been the hope for a struggling people, a waning breed.

we became birds of prey with bespectacled eyes; to the sight of a dying sun and the sound of a vulture's cries. the light of the morning above us bled yellow across the sky; advancing with every heartbeat ‘til it came, our time to die. "...and i swear this on my grave!" spoke the martyr with barbed wire tears and bloodshot eyes. "...and i swear this on my lover's grave!" screamed the martyr's ill, grief-stricken wife.

we won't stand on a pedestal for the sins of our fathers, lay these guns to rest and bring death to these lovers.

we became the harbingers of visceral fear--our very own worst nightmare. living in a culture of guilt we just never learn the bitter lessons of history that we’re regretfully bound to repeat again. it’s the same old story told from one young blood to the next. is this what we’ve hope for to become? a generation bred by lying tongues and unfeeling hearts. no time to spare for yet another one feigned camaraderie. until the tables turn we’ll never close eyes our again.

sell us the face of a champion, we'll take it with us to the sun. we'll bleed yellow! we'll bleed dry!
give us the son of a nation, show us the beasts we've become. we'll bleed yellow! we'll bleed dry!
sell us the face of a champion, show us the beasts we've become. we'll bleed yellow! we'll bleed dry!

about

Caitlyn Bailey

The band came together in the first quarter of 2007 (until 2011) with hopes of bringing something new to the Davao City music scene both musically and ideologically in the spirit of mid-90s and early 00s emotive hardcore.
