about

A lot of countries today still think it’s necessary to undermine certain thoughts/beliefs and even sexuality. We hope one day the citizens of those countries see the importance of revolution and try to overthrow their leaders. Other than that we think even in our ‘save’ countries there’s a lot that needs to be changed.

lyrics

Fascist regime is in control
You cry but follow its rules
Maybe it’s not the time
To act so nice again

A place where your thoughts are wrong
No control over where you belong
This season need your torches
To burn the crown that kills your thoughts

You wanted love
But they cannot accept yours
‘cause you should live
Like your Caesars ordered you

Fascist regime is in control
You cried still follow its rules
Maybe it’s not the time
To act so nice again!

You wanted freedom
Let the media speak free
But they got their force on it
To keep their facts the truth
You crave for different words
Words that feed your ideas
But it’s never accepted
To step out of line

These places exist
Sadly everywhere
You can’t make me believe
That this is what we want?
Bow your head so desperately
Like a government mule
Why act so acceptive?
When it’s time to break the rules

This season needs torches
To bury any crowns
This season needs torches
To take back what is yours!
