This is a very strong stand... but when you are right you are right. This EP was where "rock" music peeked. Not a week second, the sound of the drums, bass, guitars and mixing. To the songs themselves, the lyrics. Absolute perfection!
This is the end of the last days of mourning One more sad song will be sung The only children of the lost generation Are restless and angry and armed We've watched our loved ones Lose all life and passion Another lifetime is spent chasing The prospect of hope and salvation Wondering where all the early years went We won't be sold to our sellers One more sad song will be sung This chant of anger will ring out like sirens Until the last neck of the last boss is hung The end of the ruling classes The end of sleepless nights The end of taking orders The end of wasted lives the end... the ending fight
To never give up, to never give in Becomes a vision of impossibility A the bombardment worsens Narrowly defined roles now easier to play To never give up, to never give in To the incessant intoxication of the senses The allure of the machine Is a full time job without pay Fighting for survival Can we call it life? when the beating of hearts has ceased Can we call it life? with our days spent taking a beating Can we call it life? When our daze reeks of death Can we call this life?
Handcuffed and gagged, bled until dizzy Consumed with fatigue Acquired from years of crawling Closer to the edge of the abyss Only to be kicked in the knees Dismantled again Our eyes strained, their muscles stretched taut Teased by visions of escaped Viewed through narrow windows Of missed opportunity And windscreens of regret Disabled by morality imposed By those who would dispose of us Except that our last ounces of energy, Our last hopes generate their wealth Our last hopes keep us I wait And our waiting is our incarceration The waiting is our imprisonment
More relevant than ever, prophetic really, no band better describes the American condition, saw our society very clearly and wrote this even before 9/11 at peak of prosperity. Apt description of things to come...
I know there are not so many Korean crusties.. but I translated for some of them. All these chants make me stronger when I'm closed to the end of this world. Sometimes lonely, but that doesn't mean you are nothing. I won't be consumed by the ruling class, even I became the fragment of this violent world. Don't forget that depression is for rich people. ㅡ ㅡ 투쟁의 끝자락 ㅡ 이 애도의 마지막 날 끝에서 노래해, 하나 더 슬픈 곡조를.. 잃어버린 세대의 불안과 분노로 무장한 유일한 아이들을.. 우리가 사랑하는 이들을 보았어. 모든 생명과 열정을 잃고, 또 다른 생애에 쫒겨 소모되고 마는.. 희망과 구원의 전망, 그 첫날들이 어디로 갔는지 기묘해.. 우리는 판매꾼들에 팔리고 싶지 않아. 슬픈 노래 하나 더 부를 것이야.. 이 분노의 찬가는 사이렌처럼 울릴 것이야. 마지막 지배자의 마지막 목이 매달릴 때까지.. 지배 계급의 최후.. 잠 못 이루는 밤의 끝.. 명령을 받는 종언.. 황폐한 삶의 종결.. 투쟁 끝자락의 결말.. ㅡ 기다림 ㅡ 수갑을 채우고 재갈을 물고, 어지러울 때까지 피를 흘리며, 피로에 휩싸여.. 수 년간의 읍소로부터의 획득.. 심연의 가장자리에 더 가까이 무릎을 걷어차이고 반복된 해체.. 우리의 시야는 긴장되고, 근육은 팽팽하게 긴장되고, 탈출의 환상에 농락당해.. 놓쳐버린 기회의 좁은 창을 통한 관점과 후회의 바람막이.. 강제된 도덕에 의한 장애.. 우리에 의해 처분된 자들은 우리가 가진 마지막 에너지를 제외하고, 우리의 마지막 희망이 자신의 부를 생성해.. 우리의 마지막 희망은 나를 여전히 기다리게 하고, 우리의 기다림은 우리 스스로의 속박.. 기다림은 우리 스스로의 구속.. ㅡ 삶? ㅡ 절대 항복하고, 굴복하지 않기 위하여.. 불가능의 비젼이 되어.. 단 하나의 포격은 좁게 정의된 역할에서 이제 더 활동하기 쉬워져.. 절대 포기하지 않고, 절대 굴종하지 않기 위하여.. 끊임없이 극도의 흥분으로 향한다.. 기계의 매력은 무급으로 매여 일하는 것.. 생존을 위한 투쟁.. 심장 박동이 그쳤을 때, 우리는 그것을 삶이라고 부를 수 있을까? 패배 당하는 우리의 하루를 우리는 그것을 삶이라고 부를 수 있을까? 생명이라고 부를 수 있습니까? 우리가 현혹된 죽음의 향기를 맡을 때, 우리는 이것을 삶이라고 부를 수 있을까?
@@madzen112 Yes, it doesn't require. Anyway I realised that I don't need to proof who I am to anyone. I don't need mowhak, stud jacket, and band patches for others. I don't need to live for others. I and you can help and enjoy with people, but don't need to live for other's desire.
Come on, listen it again, its very very good band, still playing? I like a lot could see them in live show someday! Resurrection Fest, listen to me and put this band on your next show, first advice! 😅😅😂
Fantastic band, when they came out I didn't like them as I was young and edgy and I thought they sounded like a mix of crust hc and The Offspring lol. Though it's no different from many Swedish bands many ppl disliked them for being melodic then. Now at 40 y.o. I listen to it with pleasure and feel the energy. They are more japanese hardcore punk than western HC, and with good catchy tunes. Lyrics here are childish and idealistic but really sincere.
I am appreciating your view. It sounds authentic enough. Offspring? That is an offensive stretch. Whoa. Yes, the lyics are idealistic. But not childish. You're 40 years old. I'm a half decade older than you. I question the hill of adulthood, or mountain of experience, you think you stand on, based on your glib dismissal. Be vigilant of decay, We die each day!
@@bschuler6216 dismissal? No I just said I appreciate the lyrics as they are sincere. I mean I like innocent lyrics like this stuff nowadays. I exactly question the age wisdom and all that crap now, myself. Yes I was edgy 20 plus years ago so I though that d-beat thing must sound like Disclose and not more melodic but I was just wrong then (still cheerz to Kawakami wherever you are brother!!). Also after listening to japanese punk for decades I looked at Tragedy differently, I think they are the best american hardcore punk band.
