I don’t know how I made it through the border
I’ll never know why I am still alive
I’m just another empty-handed soldier
waiting for his application to arrive
I can’t go back from here
cause it’d mean death
there’s no way out of here
though I can’t stay in here, I’m undesired
tell me if I’m free to die or if I’m condemned to live
say do I have any rights in this cage that I am in
yes I know, yes I know
that I could be trapped for years
but I wanna get out of here
please let me in
there’s not a moral compass in your papers
you can’t rely on god or all your laws
if there’s a breathing person threatened with being sent back to be killed
I bet you'd hesitate to sign the final clause
I’d do it all again
I’d do it one more time
I’ll never give up trying
to live a humane life
if there is a god
how could this happen?
if there is a god
we don’t need a devil
if there is a god
I’ve learnt my lesson
if there is a god
we are the weapon
if there is a god
Every single member of this band is incredibly skilled in their own right, but I love how much they accentuate each other's talents into these masterful tracks. The whole album is excellent. I'm so happy they were finally able to come to my home state and perform.
Incredible band, can't wait to listen to what comes next. quantumquail
Perhaps a softer, more “pop-forward” album compared to Inmazes and Witness however equally as effective. Vola simply know how to make approachable and great music. 8/10 RJ
Midwestern prog-metal stalwarts go for the throat on their new EP, featuring a roiling cover of the Smashing Pumpkins' “1979.” Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 7, 2019
A thorough repudiation of any claim that metal music is uniformly angry / negative. Bombastic synth prog with death growls, riffs, and clean flourishes. This record always makes me smile. bloodbrulee
