Coffers of Money and Blood 01:15
lyrics
download
Take your foot off of my neck "I can't breathe", the last utterance Of myriad victims in a microcosm Of a global epidemic spread We watched Rodney King in horror Now cameras everywhere, still no order We watch the leaked footage of drones That show wholesale slaughter Thousands of sons and daughters We watched Palestine stand with George Floyd Amazing to watch the worst victims join Because the architects are all the same In a global, hegemonic game Non-white skin pigments deserve no names To the white devils holding the gun Their coffers overflow with money and blood Until extinction they will laugh Fine-tuning the tools of their craft The gallows, bombs, tear gas, the guns If we cannot, will not fight as one

State of Hell 01:05
lyrics
download
The death toll it staggers, yet in ignorance we dwell Endless fucking warring with no impunity And just who the fuck are the enemies? (State of Hell) What is the price that all of us pay? And not just the trillions shelled out in The States (State of Hell) Like cancer, they kill all that stands in their path Endeavored to fill up and blow up the map How many more must die every day? And where is the movement to stand in the way? (State of Hell) By gun or by bomb or by proxy, or by drone Don't ever question who reigns on the throne (State of Hell) Like cancer, they kill all that stands in their path Endeavored to fill up and blow up the map A cancer that kills all that stands in its path Forever, and ever until the climate collapse

about

In memory of George Floyd. In solidarity with Black Lives Matter, BDS and all who stand in defiance of racial and religious injustice. Dedicated to all people of color murdered, tortured, imprisoned unjustly, discriminated against in any way, profiled, viewed and treated less than human. Here in the U.S. abroad. And dedicated to the people of Gaza (who made the beautiful mural on the cover) and the West Bank, who have declared solidarity with BLM and all people of color murdered by the police with impunity in the United States.

It was incredibly moving to read about the Palestinians declaring solidarity with BLM with so much conviction, incensed by the disgusting injustices committed against people of color in the first world as well as the third world open air prison Hell state in which they reside as a result of ethnic cleansing. People who live in the worst possible circumstances standing side by side with murdered people of color in the United States, as one.

On top of this I felt compelled to write about it because the American police are sent to Israel to be trained by the IDF, the very people that implement the horrific oppression Palestinians endure. On top of any and all other views of racism and religious bigotry, they are trained and influenced by the those committing genocide. Ethnic cleansing with impunity. They're taught all the terrible methods we see used on people of color in the U.S. every day. So this also makes these issues very connected.
