lyrics

Damned if you do
Damned if you don’t
You die when you get treatment
You die when you won’t

You’ll pay for the rest of your
Miserable life
For the privilege of a chance
To go under the knife

Putting a stigma
on the junkies of your making
you’re the pusher
and the reason they’re taking

Pray, pray,
pray for what?
Your selfish acts
And budget cuts?

Praying for the poor
Preying on the poor
Who are you really
Praying for?
(X4)

You keep your wealth
For yourself
Keep your trophies
On the shelf

Humanitarian efforts
A facade of your intent
Bleeding dry the public
Without consent

No Savior from the Sky

This album has phenomenal atmosphere for just being played on a single guitar. It takes me to the upper atmosphere, in orbit around Earth, as I drift through the heavens and ponder what remains. It's hopeful and desolate all at once! Well worth picking up! Jank Hambrams
