about

The third song I recorded for this album. This was built around playing bass that was put through a pedal combination. The lyrics like a lot the lyrics on Pure Filth are for interpretation, but I have been watching a lot of The Great. And no, I don't know anyone named Amelia.

lyrics

The war is never over
The eyes of the world are opening up
Every day a newborn soldier
And a bloodstained memorial

Amelia, do you remember the time
You ran so close to the edge
Amelia, you burned out so bright
I'll never let them forget

Hooray hooray for the cavalry
New assembly for the old machine
Systematic failure gone unchecked
Raise new soldiers, fuck the rest

Amelia, do you remember the time
You ran so close to the edge
Amelia, you burned out so bright
I'll never let them forget

Do you know what you're fighting for?
Do you know your enemy?
Do you know the end game?
Have you seen the blood of the regime?

Strong hearts on the front line
Manipulated by design
A soldier first, a martyr last
Those kids, they grow up so fast

Amelia, do you remember the time
You ran so close to the edge
Amelia, you burned out so bright
I'll never let them forget

Do you know what you're fighting for?
Do you know your enemy?
Do you know the end game?
Have you seen the blood of the regime?
