about

The malevolence and destructive influence of the powerful is tangible and more discernible by the day as the story of "liberal democracy" fades away. Electronic bass sets the pace of the "machine" that devours all. The band colour this metronome with their tangental quirks and comments. This song has been repurposed from an earlier incarnation inspired by "new normalities" and "mass formations". "Together we rise. Divided we fall" MLK

lyrics

They’re Coming To Get You
They’re coming to get you. They’ve got a plan.
They’re coming to get everything they can.
They’ve got the power. It’s all lies
You know what’s true by what they deny.
The knives are out, be in no doubt
The cuts are coming and you will be cut out.
They’ve set their sights. They’ve got the might.
They believe they’ve got the God given right.

They’re coming to get you, they want it all.
It’s the ideology of fuck ‘em all.
They’re coming to get you and they want more.
This time the front line is coming to your door.

Been giving me the needle, twisting my arm.
The hypocrites’ oath, profits outweigh the harm.
The science is bought and the politics sold
You only have rights so long as you do what your told.

They’re coming to get you, they always will.
The hungry ghosts never eat their fill.
They’re coming to get you, because they can.
Compliance is death and life makes a stand… Let’s stand

Don’t know what to do. How about you?

There’s dark truths to tell, to break the spell,
break the spell.

They’re coming to get you, and they want more
This time the front line is coming to your door.
They’re coming to get you, because they can
The bureaucrat plays his deadly hand.
They’re coming to get you, it won’t go well
Compliance is death, break the spell.
They’re coming to get you, they want it all
Together we rise and divided we fall.
Break the spell… break the spell
