You said we’re cursed, we have no way
You said is a sin to be gay
We’re aberrations on the Earth
That we’re immoral, bound to fade
Preached millions the law of hate
To innocent love you brought disgrace
Said we were hated by your God
That we were all condemned to rot
But no, we’re not!
You said for us would be no time
Made us feel rejected all our lives
Forced us to be ashamed and hide
Said we were too weak to fight
You put a note on a boy’s mouth
And broke his legs, his arms, his heart
Said we were nothing but a plague
A plague you’re gonna exterminate
But no, you’re not!
Rise tonight, rise and fight
Ask the judges if they don’t hold secrets
Stop the violence right now
I refuse to live in a hate filled world
You say you’re gonna reap us and tear our lives apart
But your God is on our side, so guess what?
No, you’re not
I was kicked out from home
Leave my children alone
Drop this lamp, stop hitting me
You’re killing me, you are breaking my bones
Another teenager is dead
Raped and spanked to learn how to be a man
Take the job and the hopes from this fag
Abuse left scars on my body and my head
But if you think you’re gonna stop us from fighting for our lives
I scream and I scream high:
No, you’re not!

It's a great blend of different metal genres and styles, with great solos in basically every song, just that touch of oriental influences that feel natural but not artificial and above all else, performed by the beautiful, haunting voice of Jelena Dobric, who uses it in a way that is not the typical operatic approach as we are used to from other female-fronted bands wormys_queue
A powerful metal opus, blending soaring vocals, intricate melodies, and thunderous riffs for an epic listening experience. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 26, 2023
