about

Dictionary definition of “hero” doesn’t fit with the blanket description applied to UK children recruited/bribed but ultimately choosing themselves to join the army and put themselves in that position. What did Propagandhi say about this…?

lyrics

How can you be “distinguished” when you’re all so uniform?
What “courage” gave up dead end job for blood money for your beer?
Help define heroes, beyond turning up for work

So “brave” to stack the odds, technology in your favour
Is “nobility” seeing another human being beneath you?
Help define heroes, beyond living to tell the tale

Is this how we salve the shame, for what is done in our name?

Kids, used to being told what to do, abused kids, turn up, clock in, kill
Help define heroes, beyond what is not

A World Lit Only By Fire
by GODFLESH

'A World Lit Only By Fire' is an angry and gloomy motherfucker. From the start, you're being battered with pummeling, gritty low end, piercing dissonance and industrial cold. It paints a dystopian picture in my mind - of bulldozers slowly crawling through a wasteland and people hiding in sheer panic, hungry and desperate for a glimpse of hope. But in 'A World Lit Only By Fire', there is no such thing. Simon Sludge
