lyrics

1: the imperial sun absorbed in its eastern blaze consumes the horizon, as we dig our own graves to save ourselves. the soil that bore our fathers and the fathers before them, is now a dwelling place of everything we swore we would never be. a forgotten patriot of the past. the staged autonomy escapes from these puny hands. in a blink of an eye, the scorching rays became my chains.
i, raised up my hands, but not in surrender. this my fight, with all the might that i have i’ll lead us to the sunset. we are the pawns, but soon we’ll become the masters of our game. we’ve sold our souls, for every artillery fire we’ve brought upon ourselves.

the lone pearl scraped from the orient, sold and bought--a priceless ornament. her land voraciously pillaged to and fro, endlessly ravaged by those greedy hands. we are the slaves of our own making. the shadow we’ll confront is just a step away from us. it lies ahead prowling for its prey.

2: dear friend, dear mother; sing me the song of your people, the song you've screamed so loud for all these years. it was in those hollow words that you gave us a face and a name; a face not mirrored and a name never called. have we ever stood content? well i haven't, not as i stayed awake to watch you sleep and quiet enough to hear your fading heartbeat. i stayed awake to watch you sleep and quiet enough to hear you breathe. as i have never left your side, sing to me in your deathbed; sing till i ring deaf. (keep on singing in your bed, i'll speak in decades where you tread.) i am your daughter; i have become my mother.

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.
