lyrics

Walking alone across a darkened land that once was home
Rehearsing memories as the sky opens up
Rain on the driest day of July
And a shadow falls over the city
And a shadow crawls across the land
A shadow’s darkening the spaces we once occupied
A shadow’s fallen over you and I
Black curtains obscure a hole in the ground
An open grave on 2nd Avenue
It once was a place for the tribe to gather
Now it’s not even a parking lot
Dark money pollutes the public sphere
As greedy hands reach out to take what once was ours
Destroying the very host that attracted these parasites
Alright
They sing on blissfully
Ignorant of their malignant influence
Reveling drunkenly in their new colonies
I sing on, too
I sing a farewell song, a love song, a war song
This is my city, damn you all to Hell

This record rips so hard. My buttcheeks automatically clench as the UK82-inspired riffs melt my face off and pulverize what’s left of my brain matter. I’ve been in bands and always wanted to replicate this very sound but was unsuccessful at every attempt…but god damn it am I glad to be alive & have this record to listen to in 2022. So cheers to you, Savageheads, for recording this masterpiece. For those interested in checking this one out: PLAY IT LOUD!!! k-rad
