Power envisioned
Striking down the conscious
Your wants and needs gained
By stepping on others
Realize your position when the time is too late
Struggle to get up from the hope that you/we dug
Your wrists are bleeding
From the knife of falsehood
Each droplet of blood a piece of your soul
Blackened from greed
Leaking slowly until there is nothing left
And empty shell, controlled, corrupted
By your wants incarnate
Free thought is drained
If I could only make you see
How ignorant you are
You want to get ahead
When every step you take
Sets you back
This is in my top 5 hardcore releases. I was lucky enough to see their last show at Goleta Fest in 1996.
I have the CD, and all their vinyl, and am happy to support it here! Thanks, Council, for putting your releases on bandcamp. RyanTG
Incredible discography. The paper bag 7" on Gravity was a game changer for modern hardcore punk. The lyrics to "Blind" opened my eyes and I never looked back. Ryan Walker
