about
There is a fundamental, yet often-ignored, difference between trying to overthrow and trying to govern justly.
lyrics
Mouth of bile. Violence mounting.
Prepare for rapture. Who's counting?
A billion leaders. Righteous thinking.
Famine's calling. Disease is sinking.
Without the sword.
Our sun is sinking.
What are you looking for?
It's righteous thinking.
What are you looking for?
Prepare for rapture. Who's counting?
A billion leaders. Righteous thinking.
Famine's calling. Disease is sinking.
Without the sword.
Our sun is sinking.
What are you looking for?
It's righteous thinking.
What are you looking for?

The Rise Of Disaster Capitalism
by Tyranny Is TyrannySecond record: more sparse post-punk as well as more open-ended, harmonically daring territory. Still heavy, but with an increasing emphasis on subtlety and dynamics.
