lyrics
I am the hunted, we are the few
Cast out alone, our stories misconstrued
A thousand miles adrift on hostile land
I've long forgotten how this all began
Neglected and hated
hung like trophies in the halls of man
Where they choose, how we lose
Our lives, a game we'll never win
We all wander through this life in search of something more
We're all struggling to survive in a world that says we don't belong
They've tried and failed
To snare us into a set of chains
We may be cornered, we may be battered
but our minds they will never break
While they project intolerance
blinded by the fear of change
we carry on, horizon bound
determined that we will remain
We all wander through this life in search of something more
We're all struggling to survive in a world that says we don't belong
You can't erase me, you can't persuade me
Into living my life in fear
You can't dissuade me
my conscience is free, I hear
the winds of change,
singing a song echoing my life
The tides have changed
my existence is stone, its yours that's about to fail
I will not turn around or go back from where I came
Ill continue on this path despite what any others say
What defines a life well spent? How about not being afraid
of testing limits, pushing boundaries, and refusing to die inside a cage
I will not turn away
I will not turn away
I will not turn away
At any point, despite what lies ahead
I will not turn away
I will not turn away
I will not turn away
For a life in chains is a sentence worse than death
Cast out alone, our stories misconstrued
A thousand miles adrift on hostile land
I've long forgotten how this all began
Neglected and hated
hung like trophies in the halls of man
Where they choose, how we lose
Our lives, a game we'll never win
We all wander through this life in search of something more
We're all struggling to survive in a world that says we don't belong
They've tried and failed
To snare us into a set of chains
We may be cornered, we may be battered
but our minds they will never break
While they project intolerance
blinded by the fear of change
we carry on, horizon bound
determined that we will remain
We all wander through this life in search of something more
We're all struggling to survive in a world that says we don't belong
You can't erase me, you can't persuade me
Into living my life in fear
You can't dissuade me
my conscience is free, I hear
the winds of change,
singing a song echoing my life
The tides have changed
my existence is stone, its yours that's about to fail
I will not turn around or go back from where I came
Ill continue on this path despite what any others say
What defines a life well spent? How about not being afraid
of testing limits, pushing boundaries, and refusing to die inside a cage
I will not turn away
I will not turn away
I will not turn away
At any point, despite what lies ahead
I will not turn away
I will not turn away
I will not turn away
For a life in chains is a sentence worse than death

supported by 21 fans who also own “OR7”
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.
