This song started with completely different lyrics, but I couldn't seem to finish them and I struggled with the delivery during recording sessions. While recording vocals the unfortunate decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade was made by the Supreme Court. I just couldn't focus on my own struggles when that decision felt like a kick in the teeth to so many of us.
When fighting for the SHE's please remember all of us who are THEY's and HE's.

I am silent, I am distant
I am afraid of myself
I will lash out, I will cry out
I will break the ties that bond us
My country is trying to erase me
And I'm angry at the world
If you're not with me you're against me
In this cyber battlefield
But my silence must end now
I can not sit and watch this world
Rob us of our liberties
That I fought hard to keep free
I am scared, I am scarred
Everything I am I have fought for
In this land of freedom the battle never ends
A daily struggle to prove that I'm valid
I am angry for the woman I used to be
Who lived with a uterus until she was thirty three
I am angry for the youth of today
Who will live with decision where they had no say
I am angry for victims and their families
Who keep fighting for closure and validity
Is this our mission, to turn the other cheek
Just to get slapped again
By the hand that feeds our society
This is not about the children
This is not about the Lord
This is the death throws of your ideology
This is the ending of your false supremacy
Toxic apathy is turning into you and me
Turning us against ourselves
Turning us against humanity

What an absolutely beautiful album! This is what black metal really leads to; beautiful and powerful expressions of anger, mourning, and joy that lead to real change for those suffering! I can’t say enough good things about this album! The huge range of genres is incredible as well! deathmoth829
