ORDER FROM ABOVE After all, what does remain but an echo from brick walls When the dead are dead and living fed awe of crooked laws? The system doesn’t weep for its unwanted children. It drowns them out if no one breaks this silence of asylums. The sooner the better we realize that supremacy Will not do a damn thing to set us free. No need for a shepherd when you`ve been raised by wolves. Won't leave this unresolved. Glazed eyes of dead statistics. Dry mouth of confidence. Deaf ears to alleged suspects. Nose that smells no consequence. Arms that will not let go. Never, never, never. Legs that run after you. Ever, ever, ever. There's a modern darkness here, you can't see what you should fear. Cause the creature is everything. It is the shape we're in. One man with a gun controls a hundred without one. And I can't see freedom here. I just can't see freedom here. The sooner the better we realize that supremacy Will not do a damn thing to set us free. No need for a shepherd when you´ve been raised by wolves. Won’t leave this unresolved In silence. Domination of you by me is not the answer. Exploitation of me by you is not the answer. Peace is equality Not an order from above.

about

“Peace is equality not an order from above”
“Order From Above” was recorded during the “Sculpture Of Violence” sessions last year. It is a song about police brutality and the racism that still dwells within the powers that enforce the laws of our society. While writing, we were thinking of far-right German terrorist group The NSU-Complex and the entanglement of the German police in it, a case still unsolved. We kept the song until a time where it made more sense to release it, and feel that time is now.

Even though we are five white dudes who can’t imagine what racism feels like, we stand in deep solidarity with the protest in the USA – no matter what form they may take for that is not ours to judge.
Download it on Bandcamp, who are waiving their fees again today.
100% of the money raised will be donated to the ISD (Initiative of Black People in Germany): isdonline.de
