while we celebrate
a freedom that doesn't exist
wrapped up in diversions to complacent to resist
security forces
with balances and checks
step out of line and get boot fucked in the head
when cash is king we all are slaves
the balance sends us all to our graves
scrawled on a wall, yeah it awoken me
none are free till all are free
whispers in the night
a force all our own
with a will to fight and refusal to condone
protecting them from us
like it's always been
guarding the bastille this time they're armed with M-16's
when cash is king we all are slaves
the balance sends us all to our graves
scrawled on a wall, yeah awoken me
none are free till all are free
justice lives in the barrel of a gun
we'll build ours when theirs has come undone
your numbers fucking called
hey motherfucker, up against a wall....

Oakland band Silent Era's sound is a killer mix of classic hardcore and NWOBHM. On their second LP, they're especially urgent and anthemic. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 1, 2020
Three songs from this raucous New Zealand group that prove punk still has teeth and isn’t afraid to lunge and bite. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 31, 2019
