about

A collaboration with the mighty Dave Bisset, formerly of scottish power metallers Farseer.

This piece is inspired by the now infamous story of the defenders of Zmiinyi Island in the Ukraine who refused to surrender in the face of certain death, and inspired their comrades to risk everything to defend their homeland. True heroes in every sense, and an inspiration across the world.

Every penny earned from this work will be donated to charities in support of the Ukrainian cause, and the band will personally match the first 1k of sales too.

lyrics

Lyrics:

On a pretext, fabricated
Masked by propaganda that we created
Under false flags, we march on
Our rules of engagement are foregone
Step aside now and disarm we insist
We’re commissioned to crush all who resist
We will blast you into submission
Our might will destroy your conviction

To arms, we won’t back down
Never, never surrender
To protect our nation from the
Invading forces bent on destruction
Stand fast, hold our ground now
Never, never surrender
Spit in the eye of oncoming
Threats of death that won’t deter us

The eyes of the world are upon you all
To watch your crusade crumble and stall
Man the comms; relay the message of compliance
And respond with united defiance
Did you think we would drop to our knees?
Beg for our lives as you step on our necks?
We are few but listen and listen well
We will make your passage through this place hell

To arms, we won’t back down
Never, never surrender
To protect our nation from the
Invading forces bent on destruction
Stand fast, hold our ground now
Never, never surrender
Spit in the eye of oncoming
Threats of death that won’t deter us

A cowards way to fight, whites of our eyes are out of sight
You know you can’t win
This place is not your home, this fight is not your own
You’ve no authority here
You sit and hide behind the war machine that’s made you blind
Your mind’s not your own
You will be judged for your crimes, for generations to come
This is the history you've written

Make them bleed. Make them bleed.
Make them plead. For every inch of ground.

Make them bleed. Make them bleed.
Make them plead. For every inch of ground.
Not a foe passes unchallenged
Their steps are dogged at every turn
You’ve overplayed your hand; you crossed a line in the sand
You will be judged
Return your message of diplomacy
“Go Fuck Yourself”

When the souls of the thirteen stood in the face of certain death
Built with defiance to fight until their last breath
Sing a song not dirge, raise your heads in pride and never turn your back
Stand and deny them, a nation by your side
When the souls of the thirteen stood in the face of certain death
Built with defiance to fight until their last breath
When the souls of the thirteen stood in the face of certain death
Built with defiance to fight until their last breath
Sing a song not dirge, raise your heads in pride and never turn your back
Stand and deny them, the world stands by your side
