Mandibles - Survival - Shadow

Lyrics: Cybronica
Vocals: Cybronica, Estaphonia
Drums: Estaphonia
Bass, Instrumentals, mix: Cybronica

One brick
Heavy in hand
Rough to the touch
Should do the trick
To start us off

Fifty years of fighting
After hundreds more of hiding
This isn’t about attention
This is about survival
About greeting each morning’s arrival
Without apprehension
Without the fear of death around the corner
Without a monochromatic filter

I am a brightly tinted beast
Covered in the colors of warning
Do not devour
Do not attempt
To swallow me whole
Or nibble away at me
Lest the crimson and the gold,
The umber and the royal blue
The verdigris and violet too spill over you
And your teeth brake on skin
Tough as iron

Fifty years of fighting
After hundreds more of hiding
Every brick I throw
Is one less in the wall of stone
That kept us in our place
This isn’t about control
This is about survival
About the right to face the day
Without fear or denial

High heels click
Cocktail in hand
Just like the bricks
This will do the trick
The moment it lands
Flames spread from the broken glass
Flames ignite in the hearts
Of every Phoenix set free that night

Fifty years of fighting
After hundreds more of hiding
Still we die at the hands of the fearful
Still we rise in righteous revival
This isn’t about domination
This is about survival

Love the soaring impassioned choruses; it's a great melody delivered well that has been stuck in my head all week. Cool flange-y bass tones. This is exactly the kinda big, in your face songs that I like. Great tune for June, too.
