Wait your turn, pay the price
Conditioned to love, conditioned to die
There’s no above, there’s no below
Just purgatory that grips my soul
I feel the hand of judgement, round my neck
Permanently in crisis
Time killing us all
I am your true justice
I will watch you fall
None shall mourn as nature takes its course
Natural selection
Humanity’s retort
Permacrisis, my fucking plague
Waiting for a light that never came
Writhing, one with the flames
My city burns and you’re to blame
Society cleft in twain
Better yield before I break you

Penitent Man

Followed my dreams and I watched them burn
Finding out my lessons learnt
I watch the clock hands rolling back
Sanctuary sacrosanct
Forgive me father for I have sinned
My life of penance, your suffering
A just reward for my accomplishments
Nothing, that’s what you leave with
Penitent man
Nothing, inside your head
Nothing, when you genuflect
Nothing, under your bed
Tangling with your own regrets
Nothing, when you sleep at night
Nothing, holding you tight
Nothing, yeah that’s what you leave with
Nothing
Penitent man

The Gavel

How long ’til you take the blame?
How long ’til you remember their name?
How long ‘til the gavel falls?
How long will you protect your own?
The iron sharpens the words unspoken
A sharp iron to your cerebellum
Empty promises, no solution
When will we see retribution?
I can’t stand by and watch
You turn your guns on us
You ain’t no man of honour
You ain’t nothing but a fucking killer
Murderers, liars, you’re all the same
Your silence is deafening
Hang from your noose of shame
When you wake in hell, I hope you see their face
I hope you see their face
You fucking coward, a faceless name
No justice, no inner peace
No faith in your police
You think that we’re the problem?
I don’t care what you think
Institutionalised destruction
Blinded by loyalty
Bad apples rot in the basket
Yet your twisted eyes can’t see
The archetype of war
The children cry and the mothers mourn
You think that you’re answer?
I don’t care
Your institutions are failing me
Your thoughts and prayers aren’t fucking working
There’s no inner peace
There’s no faith in your police

The Language Of Injury
by Ithaca
On their debut record, the London hardcore upstarts cross-up mosh-ready fare with melancholic ambient passages, weeping guitars, and virtuosic vocal harmonies, but its romantic veneer is much more complicated than it seems.

This Is All We Ever Get
