about

In every society oppression becomes the norm. Sooner or later the people have enough and overthrow the parasitic class. This song is about one of those times.

lyrics

YOUR BLOOD FIRST
Lyrics: McKittrick
Music: Kamburov

You ride to the break of morning light
A pack of wolves upon your heels
The tension rising
A time to act, not to feel
Gears within the cycle turning
Souls yearning for deliverance
Deadly karmic wheel

A time to leave the plow in the field
A time to take up gun and steel
If the tree of liberty seeks my sacrifice
I'll slake its thirst on your blood first

We are not slaves or vacant beasts
We are men of blood and steel
Upon our flesh the parasite would feed
The bleeding heart of empire's thrall
Roots within the soil churning
No asking for forgiveness
Seeding our black fate

We sever this binding link
The chain to sovereign womb
Set free to propagate
Your progeny turns from sire in patricide
True to the cause for which we fight
We'll not bend, break or kneel
The ash of cities burning
A time of strife and zeal
Flash of new stars dawning
Sun's burning luminescence
Distant now seems real

A time to leave the plow in the field
A time to take up gun and steel
If the tree of liberty seeks my sacrifice
I'll slake its thirst on your blood first
