I don't often post diaries, but I really wanted to give a nod to a band that is joining the world in it's opposition to W. Pro-Pain released their 10th album this year Age of Tyranny:The 10th Crusade and it includes some venomous attacks on King George...
Rising from the ashes of the seminal NYC hardcore act The Crumbsuckers, Pro-Pain was formed by bassist Gary Meskill and guitarist Tom Klimchuck, Pro-Pain have long used their ferocious metal/hardcore crossover sound as a political voice, but never so effectively as on Age Of tyranny....
The New Reality-
Enough with the self deprecation
We get it, your spineless, we know!!
You honor those who are not worthy
It's shameless and vile
and so...
where is the anger, where is the rage?
Where are the people the systems enraged?
Where is the hope for brighter pastures
they promised to send us for life
everlasting?
and yet the pain inside
is like 10 miles wide
So consent decree
Embrace your new reality
All of our leaders insane
All of our people, fucked in the brain
Conditioned to follow the mass
Spreading the lies as news travels fast
State your opinion, state it today
Last call for life in this last chance cafe'
Globalization's great work is at hand
enslaving the people, milking the sand
We got the end in sight
and it's black and white
Oh, and it's plain to see
Embrace the new reality
Deploy all troops and tankers
sent by the international bankers
We can all use a lesson in history
to dispell shock, awe, and the mystery
It's the fall of the middle class
Thoroughly fucked up and torn a new ass
by the fed and blind legislation
drawn up by the mob that ransacked this nation
It stinks to high holy heaven
from the news at 6 to more lies at 11
You better think hard while you tuck the kids in
Tell em you love em' and that life's worth living
Yeah... it's time to wake the fuck up!
Prying for more information ever so slowly exposed
No shortage of sinful behavior, the wolf adorns the sheep's clothes
Why are the hungry not being fed?
Why are these crazy thoughts in my head?
Why must religion and culture collide,
and why is no one but god on our side?
Now we're the enemy
and we're soon to be freedom free
Embrace the new reality
I don't care whether you like me or not
You'll soon be face down in your own shit, blood, piss, and snot
Praise the lord for the tax cuts he gave you
while global elitists like Bush co. enslaved you
All pimps just peddling us cheap ho's
Holding down 3 jobs with cheap booze and no doze
Tabloid press and biblical fixation
Rapture your ass, post 3 years of tribulation
Don't say I never told you so.
It's not like you didn't have a choice, you know?
The truth hurts in the world we live in
No one's accountable and all are forgiven
Too many of us along for the free ride
The ark capsized and found us in rip tide
Hold true to the words of wisdom
Fight the power, and fuck the system!!
yeah, fuck the system!!!
Nice to see a band that doesn't just blindly follow, or not get involved. The stakes are high, and metalheads know that when freedom is eroded, we are an easy target. They're also not afraid to take on the man himself...
All For King George-
My country tis of thee sweet land of tyranny and monarchy
A dunce was preordained and he reigned to the best of his ability
Oh... I'm not the enemy, you'll see that it's really true!
There's only one of me but I'm doing more than all of you... and you, and you, and you!!
All for King George you sold everything, truth be told
Hail to the king
of everything
Let truth be told
of the souls you sold
You let the wise, the few
get the best of you
and with a noble lie
all truth's denied
When crisis seized the land, he ruled with an iron fist and a closed mind
The gods of war began to fight leaving absolute chaos behind
So just get inside, and we'll ride that freedom train
Control denied, resist the wrath of Cain! Resist the wrath of Cain!
All for King George we sold everything, truth be told
Hail to the chief
In utter disbelief
we hang our heads
and then we forge ahead
between right and wrong
But the wars are long
and our days are few
Our days are bleak and few
He always lied to you
It's not just the man, but those who helped conspire and create this illegal war, no one is given a pass from their anger...
Beyond The Pale-
With the strength of mystical force,
they enforce the wars of the cross,
and were sent by Jesus and God
to win whatever the cost.
But "the price of freedom is high"
said those who sold this charade,
and we chose to go and partake,
and so began the crusade.
With martyrs on all sides
instructing all to rise,
and fight the factions of evil,
they took us on all rides
as we watched the carnage and death
spiral out of control.
Then we all went on with our lives,
'til all took a toll
Freedom... Beyond The Pale
Now the case for war we reject,
but we're forced to accept
and trust in those we elect
with policies so inept.
Blind drunk with power and rage,
their propaganda was staged,
but no one dare make a sound.
Blind to facts on the ground
These trails of violence and tears
will be like this for years.
Most are numb to the pain
and ignorant to the game.
But a game was played nonetheless
that some would call a success,
with occupation the goal.
Stripping the soul.
Freedom... Beyond The Pale
They also challenge the listener not to get complacent, but to rise up and do something about it...
Three Minutes Hate-
So did you think it would ever come to this in this day and age?
That our worst Orwellian nightmare cometh,
but don't start running....express your rage
that the constitution was maimed by the fourth fucking Reich
Oh... that comfort zone you protect must keep you in denial
that the end's in sight
So show your hate! Push it to the brink!
It's time to get the fuck up and show the world what you think!
And I endure more war like the sacrificial lamb that I am
Peak oil and globalization are coming,
but are we doing the best we can
to get the truth? Yeah, the mother fucking truth!
Cause we the people are sick
and really fucking tired of the likes of you
So show your hate, while I get your back
Our red, white, blue, is turning to red, white, black.
So show your hate! Show your fucking hate!
The worst part of the nightmare's coming,
so don't start running cause now's the time
to show your hate, and push it to the brink!
It's time to get the fuck up and show the world what you think!
There are 11 songs in all, each one focused on how Bush and the Neocons, along with the media misled the country into this mess.
The album is in stores now, on Candlelight Records. If you like metal, give this one a spin.
