From the recording Xenophobic War
Xenophobic War is an aggressive reaction to the tragedies and senseless human suffering caused by anti-immigration fuelled policies being implemented by governments close to home and around the world.

Lyrics
The journey’s long,
Exhaustion manifests.
Risking all,
To find a place to thrive, exist.
Sleep in arms,
Weary, a need to rest.
Grasping tightly
In the morning they fight to live…
Keep them together, don’t tear them apart
Tears and screams, unable to breathe
Where can they run, where can they be safe?
To stay is to die, open up your eyes
Your hearts are dead, bled out from decree
Blinded by ignorance and lies
Stop your xenophobic war.
A sense of hope,
Some place, to call your home.
A shield from
Foundations, that split apart.
Something’s wrong
The light fades and turns to dark.
The shield morphs
Twisted, becomes a sword…
Keep them together, don’t tear them apart
Tears and screams, unable to breathe
Where can they run, where can they be safe?
To stay is to die, open up your eyes
Your hearts are dead, bled out from decree
Blinded by ignorance and lies
Stop your xenophobic war.
It’s sickening, your brutish crimes.
You must confess.
Weaken the bonds that bind.
Abolish it.
Keep them together, don’t tear them apart
Tears and screams, unable to breathe
Where can they run, where can they be safe?
To stay is to die, open up your eyes
Your hearts are dead, bled out from decree
Blinded by ignorance and lies
Stop your xenophobic war.
