Like Broken Bones

Hooded masses bite through their tongues to keep them still
While black eyes look on in glee, we drown in their swill
A precedent of myopic trade offs has been set
Fathered by moral putrefaction, and mothered by regret

“Progress” turns the stomachs of the weak
And feeds upon the hearts of lions

The imperialist marches forth to conquer and divide
“You are either for us or against us, so best you choose a side”
Civil liberties buried in a black and white nation ruled by knaves
Inhumed alongside those placed facedown in shallow graves

Your democracy has been whittled down to a point
To drive straight into the heart of non believers

With each labored step, soil is turned upon the submissive
(And) with each labored step, they lay this treacherous cement
Vitriolic foundations protrude like broken bones
As your autonomy vanishes beneath the silt and stone

about

The Mark of Man Auckland, New Zealand

The Mark of Man make no compromises. We are angry. We are sorrowful. We want change. We express this through music we find both cathartic and fulfilling. Please listen.
