The Bison 09:38
lyrics
buy track
You will hear my thunder Before you feel my sting A thousand little voices To an end my hand did bring With my partner by my side We took what we wanted We even took your breath To us the bison's worthless To you it's life or death And even though your heart's broken There's panic in the ranks Now you live in a shiny palace And you play against my greed With cirrhosis of the liver And I'll be coming for your deed With my partner by my side

I take your silver, I take your gold I clean your land of it's soul I've hung my flag What's your's is mine What's best for me, is best for you Follow me and I'll see you through I've hung my flag What's your's is mine I've hung my flag I hope that's fine I take away your talisman And place the good book in your hand I've hung my flag What's your's is mine What works for me, will work for you Makes no difference what you do I've hung my flag What's your's is mine I've hung my flag I hope that's fine Gun Powder, Powder Wigs, Wigwams Burn, Burn Them All I'll Come Dressed, Dressed Like God, God is Dead, Dead Are We All

about

Manifest Destiny is a phrase coined in 1845, is the idea that the United States is destined—by God, its advocates believed—to expand its dominion and spread democracy and capitalism across the entire North American continent.

On Friday 5th June 2020, Bandcamp is waving fees and 100% of revenue will go directly to artists. In support of the #BlackLivesMatter movement, I will be donating 100% of proceeds from 5th June 2020 to the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust in Lewisham, London and to the Richmond County Bail Fund in Richmond, Virginia, in order to support locally and to my friends abroad.

I wrote these two songs a few years, disillusioned with what I had seen going on in America and I have played them live countless times. Most of the principle recording took place around 2016 and I finally polished them off in 2020. Even though it took quite the time to get these out, these songs feel incredibly relevant still to this day. Black Lives Matter! Support the cause!
