No Sanctuary
02:51

You won’t stop us
No matter how hard you try
Fight all you want
But ideas don’t die
No safe place for a punk these days
We have no goddamn sanctuary
All we’ve done
Is be ourselves
We’re protecting our culture
And protecting ourselves
No sanctuary

Skate and Destroy
01:28
|

Let’s bring some chaos
To the streets
Skate until
We can’t feel our feet
Here come the cops
We gotta run
Skating with the crew
Is so much fun
Skate, skate, skate, skate
Skate and destroy
Fuck skate stoppers
And shitty signs
I’ll skate right here
This spot is mine
You kick me out
I say “so what?”
You really think
I give a fuck?

Pepsi Hanging Gardens

See the new Great Lighthouse sponsored by Exxon
Gaze at the Colossus with his Nike shorts on
The Temple Of Zeus now with a Halliburton staff
A brand new Temple Of Artemis on Nestle’s behalf
Everything’s for sale
Even history
The future is doomed
Money is misery
Don’t let conglomerates homogenize human achievement
We won’t solve climate or poverty with corporate appeasement
We’ll end up with pyramids from Lockheed because they got a pardon
Do you really want some bullshit like the Pepsi Hanging Gardens?

Motown Messiah
01:21
|

|
The all-seeing prophet
Window into your soul
The messiah of Motown
Face of stone, heart of gold
Always in the shadows
But never too far
Blessed with a third eye
Sent from the stars
Knowledge transcending
Our spirits ascending
Mighty and wise
His prophecies neverending
He’s the Motown
Motown messiah
He’ll rescue your soul and pull you out from the fire
Motown
Motown messiah
His knowledge is power and with it he’ll take you higher

State of Failure
01:28
|
|||
|
Faded flags at half mast
Dipped in the Blackwater it’s gold has now passed
Fighting in the night
Hand in the sky closing in too fast
No more shouting or shooting to drown out the stillness
America is a dream with a terminal illness
An empire falling into the abyss
None of them left to sing their song
America is an experiment gone wrong
Left to fester and rot for much too long
The state of failure has been declared
The state of failure is naked and bared
Up the streets singing carols of disruption
The urban volcano has begun its eruption
The faceless line of fascist swine
Advances for what may be the final time
The flash and smoke
They fall and choke
The dream has broke

Terror Strikes
02:15
|
|||
|
Blinded by religions of hate
Bomb on your chest that seals your fate
Blown to pieces be a hero for a day
Misguided by promises of eternity
Toppling towers and burning buildings
In the name of god you commit these killings
As bombs explode and innocents are slain
You shake hands with the reaper as he takes them away
Terror strikes
Spreading your faith through blood and violence
Strike fear in your enemy till they fall silent
Thousands who are dead are joined by even more
Innocent victims of religious war
Terror strikes Europe
Terror strikes the Middle East
Terror strikes America
Terror strikes the world

Even younger than us and they sound just as hard as aggressive as we do now. Terrorist-core.

Primal, in your face, and raw as fuck. Black Flag fans take note.
go to album
The day one homies, and Detroit’s best metalpunk, no two ways about it. Likely to induce spinal injuries from headbanging.
