A Warrior's story, never give in, tunnel vision
Loss after loss, bad decisions, never winnin'
Self isolation, you know it from COVID 1 - 9
Me, I've been doing this shit my whole fuckin' life
No fuckin' lies, apologize, not a chance
I refuse to be a statistical victim of circumstance
Shut off from the world, Hidden, what's in a name?
Without ability to tell other people who feel the same
Deal with the shame, not living my full potential
Not to mention now they tellin' my people they not essential
Unintentional impacts, damaged psyches of the populous
Posthumous valor, long lost to the monstrousness
Don't think about the consequence, until disaster swallows us
We all headed the same way, no need for you to follow us
Take solace in the truth, humans share common roots
Existence finite, still we fight to live, if just to see the proof
Hook 1
A Warrior's story, care to step inside the booth?
Walk the path as I describe, put your feet inside my boots
Go on, salute, salute, let the people eat a war
Fight, die, rinse, repeat, never question what it's for
No severance for the poor, no rest for the wicked
60 mill in my country left for dead if they get sickened
A stipend for your thoughts, not saying I got the answer
I'm just sayin' no Corona, half a mill still dead from cancer
Every year..
Verse 2
Home of the slaves? nah, the land of the brain dead
A nation of immigrants, overfed who won't break bread
Many lost among us, poor we could let 'em eat
Instead we spent trillions on a war in the Middle East
Where's the logic? end in sight, see the comet
The blast is sonic, no man can live beyond it
No time left to ponder, where we headed is under
Still we wake up and face the storm, never fret about the thunder
We were born to be some warriors, just check the genetic code
Conquered the wooly mammoth, survived through the wretched cold
Bound to take some losses, but not forever though
Get hot? then just let it snow, adapt to a better flow
Attack, this is all I know, perspective of the warrior
Battle sharp, I always expect chaos from out of order
It's always worse across the border when your on the better side
I'm just saying think it through, a warrior's not afraid to die
Hook 2
A Warrior's story, care to step inside the booth?
Walk the path as I describe, put your feet inside my boots
Go on, salute, saulte, let the people eat a war
Fight, die, rinse, repeat, never question what it's for
No severance for the poor, no rest for the wicked
60 mill in my country left for dead if they get sickened
A stipend for your thoughts, not saying I got the answer
I'm just sayin' no Corona, half a mill still dead from cancer
Every year..

"...Florid, aromatic Ambient plunderphonics, at a nexus between found sound appropriation and minimalist arrangement, rainswept ambience and chilling harmonics besmoke the mind in vapourous swelter and numbing melodious introversia..."

"On s'habitue à tout. C'est la pire des choses : l'habitude". Cette phrase qu'on peut entendre dans Work — mini-album (pas si mini) de 45 minutes quand même, parce que rouer de coups le capitalisme, on le fait bien ou ne le fait pas — résume à elle seule ce que veut éviter Non Serviam. Dans la continuité du premier opus mais les témoignages rapportés sont autrement plus sombres ("Quand Le Corps Est Froid") et on entend désormais les membres du groupe chanter sur un black metal ultra corrosif.
