lyrics

It is the same thing century in and decade out. If it happens again tonight, this time will you scream, this time will you shout? Twenty years of your life have gone by in the blink of an eye, and the only thing we know for sure is that we’re all gunna die!
It’s ok to be terrified, because we know some day this just will not fly. It might be right now, or many years down the line. So, when they push a gun into your hand and say, “you’re going to kill a man in the name of uncle same,” will it be alright with you. It’s not fine with me. He’s not my enemy.
So when you’re staring down the barrel of yet another gun, you can let a new doctrine ring. We can choose to stand or choose to fall as one. So, when the bullets fly don’t dare blink an eye.

Heads Held High Cleveland, Ohio

One of these days, I'll get to writing it. Was never satisfied with any of the stuff I hastily typed up when it was required of me.

Heads Held High recommends:

Thirty Ghosts
by Harvey Pekar

Elliott and Eddy play guitar in this band. Eternal Heads Held High road dog (outlasted most of the guys who actually played in the band) Nick Kratsas sings. David occasionally scabs for them on tour. Heads Held High

The Great Dead Hope: Act I
by Cattle Dogs

Comprised of the final touring lineup of Heads Held High. Too heavy and doomy to be the logical progression, but there is a bit of Heads Held High in there somewhere. The bitter, frustrated, bit. Heads Held High

The Language Of Injury
by Ithaca

On their debut record, the London hardcore upstarts cross-up mosh-ready fare with melancholic ambient passages, weeping guitars, and virtuosic vocal harmonies, but its romantic veneer is much more complicated than it seems. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 30, 2019
