lyrics
This is the world, and its at war
Tearing us apart
Without a seconds hesitation
Without the thought of generations
Yet to come
What have we done?
We’ve failed again to save ourselves
From our own predation
Indifference, excess, envy, hate
The things that add on too much weight
To our feeble minds
It’s made us blind
To the solutions
And free will to choose them
What if we decide we’ve had enough?
That we’re finished fighting with each other,
Dividing ourselves up
By race, wealth, class, creed
Gender, borders, culture, countries
The things we cling to define our self identity
We’re all human
But claim we can’t relate
We know reason
But keep it locked away
Avoid our problems
But hope for better days
A doomed species
Unless this cycle breaks
If we show compassion
Use forward thinking in our ways
To ease the burden
Of competition that has plagued
Our world, but I know it can change
Tearing us apart
Without a seconds hesitation
Without the thought of generations
Yet to come
What have we done?
We’ve failed again to save ourselves
From our own predation
Indifference, excess, envy, hate
The things that add on too much weight
To our feeble minds
It’s made us blind
To the solutions
And free will to choose them
What if we decide we’ve had enough?
That we’re finished fighting with each other,
Dividing ourselves up
By race, wealth, class, creed
Gender, borders, culture, countries
The things we cling to define our self identity
We’re all human
But claim we can’t relate
We know reason
But keep it locked away
Avoid our problems
But hope for better days
A doomed species
Unless this cycle breaks
If we show compassion
Use forward thinking in our ways
To ease the burden
Of competition that has plagued
Our world, but I know it can change

supported by 21 fans who also own “Human Credential”
A standout full-length debut in what has been an incredible year for hardcore. Ecostrike play a incendiary, impassioned brand of straight edge metallic hardcore that recalls One Truth-era Strife and early Earth Crisis, but are far from being a simple retread of 90’s past. One of the year’s best releases.

Meaningful and relatable. The music fits these brilliant lyrics just perfectly making it one of the best hc records I’ve heard.
