about

Single from the upcoming album "Stoke of Havoc"

Written early pandemic, revamped in studio a year later, this is a track that felt like a very natural expression of the anger that i'm sure many felt during the initial gross mishandling of the pandemic.

lyrics

Spread among
eye for one, two for two
Lie anew

Big disgrace, shelter in place
In collapse
and falling fast

I don't wanna waste our time, clumsy minnows acclimating
Set out on a tapered line population health below the fault line

Brother can you spare a mask
Shone the kind
a hoarders last
Human life in jaws of knives
Leaving but the bones behind

Clinging to simpler time, all the lasting visions reciprocated,
Farther from a place we know, and a place of anger and confusion
