Victory Song!

from Da​!​Da! by Da Comrade!

about

Written by Micah Edwards & Fletcher VanVliet, middle of the night, in the basement of Chernobyl Haus.

lyrics

I saw the four horsemen ridin' over blackened sand, coming forth to desecrate, last of the holy lands.

"I'm the king of the castle, I'm the herder of the beast, I rule this land with an iron fist of pestilent disease."
"My hand now holds the children, pulling hidden puppet strings we have raised them. Numb to death, they stare blankly at the screen."

O' but there's a way to escape this fate of infernal sleep!

C'mon brothers and sisters wont you hear your comrades call? We are marching to our deaths and yet we sing the victory song!

"You'll have to eat the ashes, bathe in atomic debris."
Well, I'll sail the toxic sludge and fuckin' ride it out to sea!

When the water's risen, all the cracks will open, swallow your cities to the belly of the ocean. Eradication, O' a celebration! You will hear the laughter! Hark thy children of the ashes! Hark thy children of the ashes!

Da Comrade! Philadelphia

Da Comrade! was something heavy, something weird from West Philadelphia. Manic/epic songs rife with bleating saxophone leads, grandiose strings and bizarre tongues.
