about

Cover of the Welsh Grind 'n' Roll legends Emissaries of Syn.

The original is an amazing song (with a video that's well worth watching).

I wanted to cover this track as a salute to good friends; long may you continue to infiltrate the punk and metal scenes, proudly straddling the lines but never settling down on one side

lyrics

All that's been built up
To the top of this state-ly pile
Was torn out of the heart
Of the land, rank and file

The slate is not clean
Payback never seen

And when the empire won a race
Stamping on the others face
The result was the same at home
Broken backs worked to the bone

Now the pattern is carved in stone
The split and the divide
Pyramid (scheme) crushing soul
A lifetime in this role

No wonder the backs are turned, no wonder the votes are spurned
Look down from your golden tower, and wonder why it burns

A token for your efforts
