about
I originally wrote the lyrics last year, and I wrote the music in three days when a friend wanted a song for their truck. The song didn't meet their requirements, but I think it turned out pretty well, regardless.
lyrics
You're free to make your bets
You're free to build your debts
You're free to follow the rule of law
You're free to think you are bourgeois
You're free to spend what you make
You're free to think you are awake
You're free to sign on the dotted line
You're free to pay the fine
Watch it, Watch it, get back in line
Do what I say, and all will be fine
The hammer falls on the stuck out nail
You may not think it, but we're on your tail
Freedom is a lie
The cameras watch, always watching, ever present, never neglect
Freedom is a lie
Laws are made, rules invoked, and excessive force used
Established doctrine is given precedence
Public figures live in decadence
All money goes to the top
Freedom is the lie that never stops
You're free to be bound by text
You're free to think you're not next
You're free to join the system
You're free to ignore the symptoms
You're free to censor your speech
You're free to tolerate the siege
You're free to worship Christ
You're free to buy the overpriced
Watch it, Watch it, get back in line
Do what I say, and all will be fine
The hammer falls on the stuck out nail
You may not think it, but we're on your tail
Freedom is a lie
The cameras watch, always watching, ever present, never neglect
Freedom is a lie
Laws are made, rules invoked, and excessive force used
Established doctrine is given precedence
Public figures live in decadence
All money goes to the top
Freedom is the lie that never stops
Laws are made for the uneducated
Moral rules for the indoctrinated
All for the status quo
A lie we can never outgrow
Dark electronic music gets warped and clobbered on the latest from Author & Punisher. Brooding, cutting, and claustrophobic. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 18, 2017
Blinding, cinematic black metal with rich layers of synth make for an album sweeping in scope and punishing on impact. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 5, 2016
