Lyric of the week: Earth Crisis

After interviewing Karl Buechner last sunday about the new Earth Crisis record entitled 'To The Death' which will be out in april, I dug back in the archives and started listening to the early ExC stuff up until 'Gomorrah Season Ends'. I must admit the band had some great lyrics on straight edge in the past. And they have again on the new record. More on that later. Now here's my lyric of this week.

From the core of my being comes this promise to myself
that I won't break my honor before all.
A one-way mission through life, I won't change my course.
There's far too much to experience and accomplish to waste a precious
second drunk or hazed. An effective revolutionairy through
the clarity of mind that I've attained. I see it all for what it
is as Gommorah's Season Ends in the grave.
So many have become demoralized that now a change must be forced or all will
perish in the lunacy once it befalls.
Parasites gnaw at the basis, their vulgar ways bring pointless ends.
Perpetuating the degeneration.
In this self is all I need with this oath that keeps me free.
To this I am forever true. I am straight edge.
I am straight edge. I am straight edge. I am straight edge
