if you hunt them, we will hunt you,
human supremacy we are coming for you,
we ll burn your cars,
glue your locks, we got to fight the fascists
the hunters and the cops
the hunt the hunt the hunt is on you,
we know where you live and we know what you do
the hunt the hunt the hunt is on you,
we know where you live and we know what you do
your chasing the innocent, encaging the poor,
enslaving us animals, we can't take no more,
killing exploitation torture and rape
there are so many weapon that we can take,
some petrol a lighter that all that we need,
to light up your life and to show you your greed
the hunt the hunt the hunt is on you,
we know where you live and we know what you do
the hunt the hunt the hunt is on you,
we know where you live and we know what you do
hunt those bastards do what we can,
these are our lives,
these are our plans,
there is nowhere to run nowhere to hide,
it's about time we destroy your pride,
the hunt the hunt the hunt is on you,
we know where you live and we know what you do
the hunt the hunt the hunt is on you,
we know where you live and we know what you do
the hunt the hunt the hunt is on you,
we know where you live and we know what you do

You Should Be Terrified

somebody called us out for using transmisogynistic and ableist lyrics in this song, at the start of the 3rd verse. It has been triggering to people and has hurt people who have followed our music, hoping for something better than this. Although it was never my intent to use such offensive and exclusive words, this is the case nonetheless and i am deeply ashamed and sorry. So i want to make an apology to anyone who has been triggered or hurt by these words, to anyone who feels let down by us as your friends or as a band. Privileges are privileges no matter how hard we try to combat hierarchies and learned behaviour, and for someone who tries to do this, i still didnt recognise fully the consequence of these lyrics. At the time i wrote this song out of concentrated anger towards the actions of cis men and didn't consider elaborating on the point i was trying to make
if you are sharing our music, please take the time to remind people of the content and let people decide if they still want to listen. Its our responsbility to educate ourselves on how to practice non-hierarchal and non-oppressive ways of doing things, no one elses. However, i want to encourage people to call us out on shitty things if it happens. thanks to the original poster for doing this
i have marked the shitty verse with ///
Also C/W Rape and sexual abuse
There was a time when i believed that men could have their hold on me
that they could click their fingers and i would be the one to please
that my decisions would be stained with all the things they had to say
i couldnt leave my house my room without them standing in my way
but in the years to come
i"d find out all these ways to smash them down
to free myself of all the bullshit that i had built my life around
but still to this day
i'm terrified of what you can do to me
and this fear consumes me whether im awake or asleep
im aware of the restrictions that you have on my life
and if i defend myself with my fist or my knife
then you are there in the courtroom waiting to see me cry
well i am going to fucking cry!
so this year i found out that pretty much most of my friends
have been raped or abused in the dirty hands of cis men
that everything they knew and trusted crashed all around them
now they"re picking up the peices but they havent quite found them
so now we are trying to support each other
but we dont always know how
because from every angle we are faced with shame and disempowerment
and just when we think we are ready to live our lives again
well you go and do it again
you go and do it again
and still to this day
im terrified of what you can do to me
and this fear consumes me whether im awake or asleep
im aware of the restrictions that you have on my life
and if i defend myself with my fist or my knife
then youre there in the courtroom waiting to see me cry
well i am going to fucking cry!!
////well i know you like to think of the stranger in the alley
of the psycopath with no self control in the movies
i hate to break it to you but it may just be your son
your nice guy of a friend or your sweet loving husband
when our society raises us to take whatever we want
and that cis men are valid humans expected to be more dominant
that our needs only matter when we have a dick to assert them with
and that consent is just a killjoy word to ruin perfect moments with!////
if you dont get permission then that makes you a rapist
if they are drunk asleep your partner or last night they wanted it
there are no excuses and there are no blurred lines
so get the fuck away from me and let me get on with my life
cause it may take months
or it may take years
and there may never come a day where we dont shed our tears
but we are powerful we are beautiful
we are better than you will ever be
you better watch out for your fuckin life
cause you are now the enemy
and so from this day
you should be terrified of what we can do to you
on the streets and in our bedrooms the power no longer lies with you
if youre horny and you tell yourself that you are entitled
well tell your friends to come and visit you in hospital
cause you have to learn somehow these bodies are ours and ours alone
now do you understand when i say no?

Tear Apart The Walls
02:32
|

some they get beaten and others locked up
we're fighting for a world thats less fucked up
and if you think different or if you misbehave
they will lock you up they will put you in a cage
so lets burn, burn the prisons down
burn, burn the prisons down
lets tear apart the walls that keep us from each other
lets tear apart the walls that keep us from each other
systematic violence to all that object
getting tied with your hands to your bed
and this is what they call justice
this is what they call fair
so lets burn burn the prisons down
burn burn the prisons down
lets tear apart the walls that keep us from each other
lets tear apart the walls that keep us from each other
and i wish i knew you were safe
but you just never know in the hands of the state
so lets burn burn the prisons down
burn burn the prisons down
lets tear apart the walls that keep us from each other

Stick Together
03:52
|
|||
we say goodbye at the beginning of the night
when the rest of this little town will turn out their bedroom lights
we say goodbye before we hit the road
because the paths we take are not the ones that everybody knows
we say goodbye with this fear in our hearts
of the people who will do their best to tear our worlds apart
we say goodbye not knowing the next time
we will meet and if theres a chance that we will be alive
cause we dont know how far they will go with us this time
so lets tell each other that we love them whenever we can
lets keep each other safe as we possibly can
be careful keep quiet most important of all
dont push the ones you love far enough for them to fall
cause when we fall we cant stick together
and we have to stick together
we have secrets we have treasures we have our plans
but they can never be measured by the ways of consequence
cause we cant be sure how fucked up the state decides to react
so we burn notes encrypt our messages and find it hard to trust
every single person that we are desperate to love
cause those outside our circles are always the enemy to us
and we dont know how far they will go with us this time
i see that you are hurting i see that you've been beaten
i see they cut you deep into your very existence
if you need to take some time
if you need to get away
we can all work together to find somewhere warm and dry to stay
cause this will never be safe
and this will never be easy
and we will need to call our parents to let them know we're still breathing
but if we hold each other near every step of the way
then maybe it'll be better, maybe it will be better
so lets tell each other that we love them whenever we can
lets keep each other safe as we possibly can
be careful keep quiet most important of all
dont push the ones you love far enough for them to fall
cause when we fall we cant stick together
and we have to stick together

Belly Of The Beast
02:47
|

the belly the belly of the beast x4
surrounded by products of exploitation
surrounded by the people and their greed
i cant get out i cant get out
theres no escape for me
the belly the belly of the beast x4
the end the end the end is near
with all this destruction there will be nothing left here
the end the end the end if near
no hope no future no fear
the belly the belly of the beast x4
break their windows take what you can
steal what has been stolen from our very hands
destroy the shops destroy the malls
destroy these constructs that consume us all
the belly the belly of the beast
