Get to the hill, find your place in the forest. The streams still flow free, now drink. Lap up the remnance of purity, of a nature pushed to the distance. The sound of the birds chirping, the sound of the branches swaying, the calming breeze are overcome with the roaring advance of the machines. Down below they scurry in their metropolis, bludgeoning all in their wake for financial security. Humanity has been lost, now they are dictated to only by media, stories and biased accounts of history. No one knows their own nature. No one knows that we are captive apes. We have forgotten, as long as civilization exists, we are all endangered species. And it exists, and it expands, and it engulfs, beats and oppresses all in its wake. But we refuse to succumb, we refuse to bow, to be swallowed into the bowels of the shallow and depraved, who care not for the earth and all inhabitants but only for the profits that can be made from destruction. Well, we too believe in destruction, we too believe in chaos and in acting with uncivilized intentions. We believe in the counterattack, we notice this is the last chance we will ever have to fight back. Any later and we will be caught, dragged away, shot and disappeared. Our identities will be wiped from the system, our families threatened if they dare to ask questions. Do you hear the machines? They are hauling their weight, kicking up the earth, forging a path and advancing. Soon the forest will be no more, soon there will be a new access road and an industrial park. Soon after that, people will begin to forget there was ever a forest there at all, oxygen will be replaced by fumes and it will all become accepted as every day life. Look to your left, there is a deer stood still in fear, what about her? Look to your right, there is a cowering fox with glistening wide eyes, what about him? What about the views of government, media, corporations? These are people, just like you or I, they bleed the same and they die the same. They made up that they are in control, that the earth belongs to them, that we are below them, that they control us, dictate to us, punish us, that they have free will to treat the environment how they please in order to make financial gain, that there are laws and there are consequences for breaking them. The fact is that people wrote these laws, people who want to protect injustice, people who want to protect profits over all else, people who do not believe in democracy, freedom or individuality. There is no higher being than yourself on this earth, only self-proclaimed leaders within a society in which we disagree with. Now, the machines line the woods. Take your position. Remember what your role is, what you all spoke about under the moon last night, in the clearing. You are a guerilla, forced by current circumstance into this battle against injustice. You are angry and determined to make a positive change. Rewild the cities, uproot the roads, repurpose abattoirs, regenerate the seas. As soon as the excavator trips the wire, advance with every means at your disposal. They saw no one and yet 30 people surround 3 vehicles, now adding light to the sunrise. Not today. Surrender or sacrifice yourself. Join us or perish in this evergrowing pit of despair, termed 'civilized society'. Today, we refuse to take it any longer, today we take control of our own future and that of future generations. Today we declare war against society, by any means necessary. This is only the beginning. We are The Natural Order Movement of Tactical Guerillas...

The time is now - never again will we be silent In the name of the earth - we will reclaim what’s ours The hammer lashes down on cold steel, stops the whirring of the wreckful machinery A spark ignites the fuel that’s leaking from the hole you struck, while the destroyers fled, nightskies are turning red A flame of justice burns bright - a light for all to see An act of violence in the name of liberation Is the only true act of peace Liberation by any means This is our last line of defense - we won’t let you take another inch You have come to our doorsteps to destroy our home - this is a call for arms, the final war has begun

I have seen the evil striking root in your heart And now it’s time to obliterate Come on take my hand, if you seek the truth We’ll cross the rivers of Babylon Forward to Eden, we will walk the true path Living a life of discipline At one with nature and abiding the laws Of a single, universal right We’re all part of this fight on a global scale One single ethic to unite us all Unified in struggle – Led by a higher power For total liberation – This is the new ethic And to all those who still object, this is a fight we won’t forget Visions of ecological collapse have been foretold – you will regret Your deviated way of life unavoidably leads to demise Acts in defence of mother earth, justice cannot be compromised And righteous vengeance will come to those Who still oppose our salvation By carrying on those vicious deeds You’ve crossed the line – we are prepared To do the morally imperative And carry out their right to live It’s better to die a courageous death Than to lead a cowards life We’re all part of this fight on a global scale One single ethic to unite us all Unified in struggle – Led by a higher power For total liberation – This is the new ethic One life, one ethic – vegan straight edge One life, one ethic – vegan straight edge

Behind Bars 03:30
They call us terrorists, but we fight for liberation Nobody deserves a life behind bars They call us terrorists, but we fight for liberation You are a murderer! You're a murderer, supporting this business Where is your compassion, where are your emotions? Okay motherfuckers, start thinking, rescue all innocent souls! Soldiers behind bars fight for liberation Soldiers behind bars fight for freedom We all have to fight, fight for them!

Free yourself from the chains of mental slavery Embrace the truth wherever it reveals itself Look within and recognise the way, where true path lies Through purity of body and mind, a consciousness for the natural life Nature is our God and Life is our Religion Perceiving the Higher Power as part of a Divine Nature Making it self-evident to those who can truly see The Way it shall be in the name of a Divine Nature There can be no compromise for we must return to the original state Not only for ourselves but for the world and those who tread the way Of eradication of wickedness, of iniquity and live accordingly to the true path in peace and harmony

Anger is rising deep in my heart Wish I could turn back right to the start A certain time everything was bright Future held hope it all seemed right You ripped the blindfold from my eyes Now I see these lies in disguise Hard as a punch without warning Like cops raid heroes in the morning Days of mourning, it overwhelms Cannot go on like everyone else A need to make things right outside Is stronger than ever, no time hide I breathe in hate, suffering and pain My heart a Fortress, I will sustain As a knight unyielding and strong Realize in struggle is where I belong Become a Fortress - unyielding and strong Standing together - unyielding and strong Prepared for battle - unyielding and strong Fight the animal abuse - unyielding and strong Mark my words: I continue to fight This war can’t be won overnight It will last forever, killing won‘t stop Earth bleeding out till the last drop Shock the system, rip it apart Build it back together from the start It‘s about honoring creation A true foundation, attain liberation Abnegation brings ephiphany All I see gluttony of masses Empires created turn to ashes Plagues will come, it all repeats Civilization on peak on it’s knees Many of us had predicted it all Sages saw mankinds fall, Listened close and heard Gaia‘s call Your arrogance it knows no limits All that is worthy reduced to fucking digits It’s our final prediction We’re convicted to stand on the brink of extinction We defy to be leeches feeding off mother earth Standing trial but yet realizing our worth To the mark of liberation we bow Because in the end, you reap what you sow We swore an oath, a sacred pledge: Vegan Straight Edge
