about

This song is about the rising of the BLM protests in the wake of the George Floyd incident. In the wake of Mr Floyd's passing, it became apparent that there was a systematic flaw that was exposed and the world united in saying that it must be brought to justice.

The song tries it's best to say "as a bunch of working class white dudes, we simply couldn't understand this experience but we feel enraged for you, feel free to use that frustration as your platform, should you wish to, and we'll do what we can to fight by you if you would have us."

lyrics

Cerulean crusaders are bending their knees to the blind
And under the weight falls the calm before a blackened sky
Pain the town crimson in fury, blood, and fire
And I can't say
That I know this pain as you do
But know that we will try to
Fight and stand beside you

Split Earth and Heaven open
Make haste to asphalt plains
The ruby flood begins to show us
What waits in Jericho

Rubber cutting through the storm of poison mist
The civil scorch the Earth to melt the iron fist
Sacrifice solace and strike to burst the cist
The system has failed
The coral God has retreated
And their all but defeated
One rule for absolution
No surrender
