Mind Trench 01:12
Drifting swells of excitement This hollow adventure of life No destination Favours and kindness swallowed Unreciprocated I'm tracing the shadows scarred in my mind These trenches run deep, there is no relief Transience is failing to lend me purpose I am consuming hope's carcass What is it to exist? Define what is necessary

Gutless 01:25
Mindless, gutless plastic punx. False intentions Conviction fallen by the wayside of leather jackets Three decades of homogeneous black uniforms And we’re drowning in a sea of mediocrity and crumbling facade Switched off, the glue that you huff can’t hold you together And it won’t hold the world as we watch it fall apart Shapeshifting sycophant Drink to forget, but there is no pride in being pathetic and useless Self imposed cycles of nothing accomplished Protests whispered from the corners of tight lipped hypocrites Choking on ego, choking on integrity You toe the line, now hang from it

Racially defined, imperially vilified Lines drawn in blood -- one way border Unspeakably cruel xenophobic law Builds intangible walls, unfathomably tall Names without faces, faces without eyes This foreign land remains unrealised A blue flag flies under grey skies, despondency internalised Waiting in line dispossessed, human worth dictated at birth It's hopeless, they're voiceless, waiting and drowning --- Successive governments talk about the problem of refugee deaths at sea, but do nothing except further pen legislation to punish and cauterise refugees and asylum seekers. Thousands upon thousands are stranded in transit, hoping for the chance to resettle in Australia; granting asylum is talked about endlessly but the infrastructure to assist them is almost entirely non­-existent. This lack of infrastructure institutionalises despair, and the government's deterrence policies mean that the dangerous boat journeys inevitably made out of desperation are all the more dangerous as border patrol prioritises stopping boats over saving lives. Anyone intercepted in transit is condemned to offshore detention. All this despite Australia having signed the 1951 UN Refugee Convention, dictating that any person with a well founded fear of persecution at home has the right to come here as a refugee. Policy makers clear their throat and spit humanitarian rhetoric. They hide their bloodstained hands behind their backs.

Dull minds, sharp words, spitting a tenet of hate Deaf, dumb, blind, bellicose; Nothing reclaimed Howls of hatred echo in a cathedral of ignorance Hardened pillars of fear and jingo intolerance Viciously spewing indoctrinated insanity Hollow eyes burning wet flames of inhumanity Forked tongues tracing callow toothless grins Witlessly dancing, dancing with derision A protest against religion or thinly veiled racism? Free speech for the mindless Free speech for the misguided scum --- Anti­-Muslim sentiment is on the rise across the Western world. Anti­Mosque protests in NYC, Golden Dawn in Greece, the United Patriots Front and Reclaim in Australia. The two latter groups have been organising protests across the country with the aim of publicly voicing opposition to a supposed “Islamification” of Australia. Their rhetoric boils down to nothing but boisterous white supremacy and jingoism. Their intimidating and marginalising behaviour is intrinsically violent and unacceptable, no matter what country or context. In their fight to further paint divisions, many strive to counter with an equally strong voice. Nationalism is an insidious disease.

Bludgeoned by truncheons enforcing dependancy Ancestry denied under the weight of heavy machinery Industrial lacerations scarring soil and humans Harrowed drills of genocide won't rest for the mining of uranium The earth bleeds The machinery screams The families weep And death smiles down on us all Bloodstained inquisition, a culture violently erased An economy established upon the corpses Of a legacy dehumanised and displaced Agonising gears of progress are whipping the chains of the damned The tormented and forgotten, prisoners of their own land Crimes against the soil Crimes against us all --- Australia's mining schemes embody the recurring nightmare of colonial genocide. As companies like BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto systematically destroy land, ecosystems and people for short sighted economic prosperity, Aboriginal communities are displaced and quietly suffer the devastating environmental and health effects of the mining. Out of sight, out of mind, most people in Australia will never have to face the immediate repercussions or realise the long term damage caused by these destructive practices. And the poison spreads across borders and oceans. Australian uranium was in each of the reactors at Fukushima Daiichi; it has contaminated the water, land, and all life in the region. Unflinching in it's inhumanity, unable to learn from tragedy, uranium continues to be mined and exported overseas.

Savage Pigs 01:56
Stacked and cuffed, bloody mess Savage pigs, ruthless Violent acts sanctioned by the state Savage pigs, full of hate No escape Forever licking the boots of unchecked power Savage pigs badge of shame Forever fanning the flames of race and class war Savage pigs deny the blame
