    First pressing of 'The Perfect Violence', our debut album.

lyrics

I am so far from home
You carried me
Long over the sea
You gave me a new name
A price to my bones
Gave me the short blade

I am so so far from home
From everything that I used to know
I used to be free
I used to be me

I am so far from home
You broke me down
And formed me anew
You made me your fighting puppet
Uber marionette
Pass me the short blade

I am so so far from home
Forgetting everything I used to know
I used to be free
I used to be me

Amazon and Achilla
Beat their shining Brest plates
In the blinding sun
Right now its death or glory
Worked up into a scream
The best woman must win

Amazon and Achilla
We trained together
In the blinding sun
Right now we bruise and we batter
Our hearts both not in it
But only one can win

Amazon and Achilla
Run circles round each other
In the blinding sun
It should be death or glory
But out of respect
The best women were done

We threw our helmets down
We threw our helmets down
We threw our helmets down
Gave ourselves up to the crowd

Don’t Cry Jugular
Cry Mercy Please
Don’t Cry Jugular
Don’t Cry Jugular
Cry Mercy Please
Don’t Cry Jugular
