lirik lagu ashenspire - cable street again
this is where it starts; a sinecure sleight~of~hand
to saturate postures with wormwood and gall
settle with hatred and you’ll bow on command
compromise doubly and compromise all
fascism hammers out his hooks
on scapegoat anvils beneath your nose
perhaps your eyes will follow suit
as your hearing, hearing, hearing f~cking goes
this is where it goes, when breaking point’s reached
the dry~rotted floorboards will always give way
and thus once again the sealed vault is breached
in cycles and cycles of silent decay
rot and negligence
scarcity’s false, except for the truth
the bindweed is once again taking root
i hope you like poverty, breathing in soot
and the taste of leather off britain’s boot
desperate times call for disparate measures
a few misdirections to change how the pressure discharges
i see the forked tongue in the ear of the strained
and both barrels retrained on the ones in the margins
these dispossessed people
silver~eyed, glazed with a mirror of trauma
boats sunk in a wash of formaldehyde
the tollen’s reagent scars the iris anew
so hold your tongue, or i’ll hold it for you
the violence is here
modern blackshirts in the streets
what good is civility in the face of a kerb full of t~~th?
‘tis no broken system, but the product of it
you cannot fix that which is working as intended
gnashing~toothed printing press, virulent, caustic
they bound the fasces themselves, sharpened the axe
know this, they aren’t resting, nor reading the rules
they’re desperate for war, gagging for it
if it’s to be cable street again, we won’t win through debate
you can’t reason with malice
the fasces must break
if this is against the grain, then the blight really has set in
the furrowing of brows and the festering of blame
misshapen and bent
it’s not the f~cking corner shop that drives up your rent
they salted the soil
buried up to your neck in the debts of your station
but this is where it ends
there’s no middle road
and i tell you
get down off the fence
before the barbed wire goes up
