1. THE GREEN SCARE

Fear the Green Scare, the new Red Scare
The number one domestic terrorism threat
But it's no accidentthat lives are saved, not harmed in any case
Power and money, the only things at risk
When your power starts to slip, you tighten your grip
Repression from above, an old tactic of control
But as long as there's injustice, expect resistance
A fight against those value freedom is a war you will never win
With phone tapping and harassing, spying and lying Infiltration, entrapment, you try to weaken their commitment
In the end, is it in your best interest to defend
That which leads to deforestation, extinction, cruelty, brutality?
Intimidate all you want, but the movement is stronger than that
Try to subdue, but the struggle will continue


2. DOLLAR SIGNS TO THE INDUSTRY

You brought the myth that they're put here for us
Now see the hell that results from this
Treated so callously as if machines
Objects, mere dollar signs to the industry
Beaten on the head, stunned but not dead
Nose bleeding, confused, so trusting
Chocking under your foot, you hear it gasp for air
Life draining under your weight, struggling, and you don't even care
I watched you rip the skin right off of her body
Still alive, no where to hide, she can't express the fucking pain inside
Others are born into a cage, just to die by the blade Their short lives in between pure suffering
No pain killers are used while enduring body mutilations Most are neurotic due to lack of stimulation
Unable to turn around or spread a wing, unable to breathe fresh air, and they'll never be free
I watched you take her baby away, product of her annual rape
He'll be tortued just like her, until they're both murdered
No one to give them comfort, no one to make them feel loved
No happy ending for them, no one mourns her when they're gone
We'll never get to know her personality
Just another number, dead for your greed
Selfishness
Ignorance
Decides the fate of the innocent


3. WHAT YOU'RE THANKFUL FOR

Broken spears lie in the roads
We have torn our hair in grief
The houses are roofless now, and their walls are red with blood.
Worms are swarming in the streets and plazas, and the walls are plattered with gore.
The water har turned red, as if it were dyed, and when we drink it, it has the taste of brine.
We have pounded our hands in despair against the adobe walls, for our inheritance, our city, is lost and dead
As recalled by a poet of a culture that was wiped out at the hands of the barbarians known as Christians.
Invaders of this land, Murderers of this world.
Driven by greed and self-righteousness they brought on the largest holocaust the world has ever known.
Babies torn away from loving mother's arms.
Thrown to dogs of war, devoured alive.
Welcomed them with open arms. Just to have their hands cut off in return.
Womyn were raped to prove who dominates. Hanged or burned or disembowled.
In God's name, you shall be maimed.
From the spread of disease to slavery, to slaughter and still being lied to, history denied.
The truth is too depressing, hits too close to home.
I blame you, missionaries.
I blame the government,
I blame every racist objectivist.
Fuck the missionaries,
Fuck the government,
Fuck every racist objectivist


4. WHO BELONGS

How dare you turn a space meant to be about unity into a place that reflects the same old problems we face in society?
You claim that there is equality, but have you asked the ones effected by your misogyny?
No.
There is no excuses for creating an environment where our sisters are made to feel self conscious, insecure, disrespected.
Constantly having to prove herself, faced with skepticism and doubt.
Being judged twice as hard, ignored but having so much heart.
Or, cat calls--humiliating!
Being grabbed at--so degrading!
For everyone who believes in equality stand with us.
For everyone opposed to patriarchy stand with us.
Sexism comes in more forms than just violence and rape; certain attitudes and words can alienate.
Gender's as arbitrary as race, no tolerance for discrimination in our scene.
There's still a need for feminism, there was never any liberation.
Given freedom to be consumerists is not a radical movement.
And it may not be "cool" to stand against the crowd,
Don't let that hold you down.
Punk is about doing what's right even if it means going against tha majority.
This is not just a womyn's issue, it's time for boys and girls alike to take control of this matter, don't stand on the side in this fight.
Not one good reason for this sense of exclusion.
How did these traditional wiews get inside and start running the shows here too?
Let's force them out


5. CRIMSON DAWN

Gifted child, the demon of creation, reigning from a blood drenched throne
Spreading its wings of devastation, all life will drown An empire consuming the Earth, draining it for all it's worth
In this world of mourning the truth is dead
Lead astray by greedy eyes, trapped behind a wall of capitalist lies
Blind to the blood on our hands, deaf to the anguished cries
In our complacent sphere omens have passed us by
Now we stand in the brink of our demise
I refuse to stand by and let fools destroy the world as they please
I wage a war to bring them to their knees
My oath doesn't offer the elite any peace
A sword forged to make them bleed
Their death will bring us salvation
Breaking the shackles of oppression
Ending these days of exploration
Hail the crimson dawn of revolution


6. GLIMPSES OF HOPE

It's times like these, which come more often than I'd like
When it's almost impossible to look on the brightside Everything I love, all I hold sacred, is threatened doomed to be taken
It's rare I see beauty without thinking of it's inevitable end
How so much has been lost, or all that could have been
But I can't forgeet the glimpses of hope or the ones who refuse to give up
Time and time again, we've seen that a few with dedication can make great change, can bring about liberation
Cages cut open in the night / Animals run free for the first time
An act of love that saves lives
Corporations that seemed untouchable are now exposed and vulnerable
HLS on the brink of collapse due to uncompromising pressure from SHAC
In a world of insensitivity there is hope for the defenseless
The ones who have been caught, and those who remain unseen believe in the cause enough to risk everything
Those who've been caught, those who remain are the ones who will set the world free


7. POWER, PRIVILEGE, WEALTH

This is a country built upon the system of white supremacy Where the subjugation of people of color is justified because it helps the economy.
This exploitation has been deemed necessary exposing inherent racism in American ideology.
Progress made doesn't benefit everybody, only the privileged, not the marginalized communities.
Our civilzation requires many to sacrifice against their own will, nothing in it for them.
How can you justify, defend a country that weiws people as merely means to an end?
Native American reservations used as nuclear testing sites.
Irreversible damage to their land, their health, their lives.
Clothes sold in the US made by womyn in Mexico in factoris where humyn rights are negligble.
Just like when African slaves were called less-than-humyn so whites wouldn't feel guilty about abusing them.
America still uses the mentality that it's ok to oppress nations and people of color for its own gain.
To maintain privilege, power, and wealth it depends on keeping others down.
The government doesn't care about you.
To stay ahead in this world, there's nothing it won't do


8. CHANGED MINDS

What order is being maintained here?
To whose benefit are these laws for?
Each situation not taken into account, so a racist classist sexist institution of forms.
Womyn in prisons for self defense, kills her abuser, she finally fights back.
Or a resistant assistant to a forceful man, but battered womyn's syndrome must be a myth.
And so her punishment will be more harsh because she's stepped out of her passive role.
Of her own life, she van never have control.
Stay helpless, don't try to break the mold.
Enforcement of a random "norm" established by people I couldn't dispise more.
Prisons punish the desperate and those who refuse to conform, to uphold this system's shit, anyone who rejects it is a suspect.
But crimes themselves are rarely the problem, they're jsut symptoms of a culture gone terribly wrong.
Laws create a dependece on the State, they prevent us from taking matters into our own hands.
Meanwhile the mass murderers, environmental destroyers, CEO's and tehir corporations remain free, their actions unpunished.
Prisons never worked in the past, try something new.
When will we take back our autonomy?
When will we set ourselves free?


9. DOMESTICATION

Scars cut deep into the mountainside
Logging hearses carry away the dead
Strip mining, relentless destruction Wildlife forced away to make room for the humyn kingdom
I see fields and fields of agriculture / row after row of monocrops, no diversity
It's not so different from the factory farms where animals are confined
Ownership of people is slavery, ownership of animals is the same thing
But ownership of the land is taken for granted due to generations of blind acceptance
No, you're not free, you never were
But nothing really is, ll is controlled
We're not the only one's having our autonomy stripped
In this Taker culture, anthropocentrism rules Domestivation of all life, the anti-thesis of liberation We consume, we polute, we exploit, we ignore
We'll pass on a desolate world where all that grows is what we choose, and all that lives is for our own use
We purchase the land as if it's rightfully ours and don't give a second thought to the lives we destroy
We're the rulers of this prison we've set up for everything
Wild animals and plants trapped in parks an preserves We're a part of this world, just like everything else but we don't act that way


10. CHAINED TO WEAKNESS

Living a life dictated by faith alone
Never questioning the validity of this morality
How much does this really benefit you or the world that surrounds you?
This faith leads you to fear your god.
Wouldn't you rather follow your desires than cower Impotent before an angry man in the sky that you aren't even sure exists?
Paralyzed by fear, directed by your duty submit today
Hold out for a reward that will never come
Willful slavery that stretches to eternity is this the heaven that awaits you?
I renounce your sacrifice of will for conscious ignorance. I will turn my back on your blindness and open my eyes to a life that could be our heaven if we'd recognize the fires burning in our hearts.
I'll tear down the holy towers
Unleash flames to cleanse your corrupt morality
Erase these lies from memory and leap into a world where we're the gods of our destiny
