YOUR COMPROMISE Songtext
von APOPHY

A spectral invasion
Assault on our minds
A white fog repurposing light
Inverted shadow to enfold

Blood spilled
Blood rushing through us
Blasphemy means nothing
When righteousness is inert

All is not (with)
Coerced despair and dissension
All are lost
Begging for a peace to declare

When there′s a war to be fought

Stuck, racing heart, sitting quiet air
Mind hijacked by misanthropic abuse
You dig graves for us all
Drag us, violence, (thinly veiled argument)

Words, meaningless, you just want us killed
Wretch, speaking death, shrug your shoulders again


We justify
Our existence
Breath testifies (don't turn your eyes away)
Decolonize
Unwrite your mind
Cruelty and lies (fuck hollow empathy)
Don′t be surprised
Nowhere to hide
When waters rise (know this is happening)
Your arrogance
"This too shall pass"
Assumes there's time (now, this is happening)

Fool
Only your children
Choke
On empty promises
Cry
For absolution
Money is for slavery
Crosses are for murdering
Everyone will die alone
When we only do what we are told

Sides still at odds, reject and project
A wretched game (keep pulling the strings)
You dig graves for us all
Drag us, violence (working class suffering)

False sympathy, pure vitriol
It's all the same (it′s all the same)


Such pettiness
Evades all sense
This is our lives (don′t turn your eyes away)
You've made your point
You′ve had your laugh
Heart dead like mind (fuck fascist bigotry)
We victims of
Relentless hate
Come to despise (know this is happening)
Your comfort and
Complacency
Fuel for our fires (now, this is happening)

Fool
Only your children
Choke
On empty promises
Cry
For absolution
Money is for slavery
Crosses are for murdering
Power struggle, apathy
Thrive on inequality

Apocalypse is your compromise
Apocalypse twists your tongue into spite
Weaponized ignorance and ego-stroking
Weaponized fear of ever having compassion

Repulsion of hatred
Tree resisting this parasite
Creatures of earth, sky, and night
Interweaving a web of resistance

Blood spilled
Blood rushing through us
We wait for no sign, we know the threat
We strike

All resolve
Clear out their insidious lies
All must thrive
Benevolent community, we rise
