lives are lost and i will be the only one to lay flowers
the only one to shed a tear
the only one to mourn
the lone voice to cry out
something so beautiful has died
a seed drown in vain, a stem cut without shame
no chance for growth, no chance to bloom
i'll lay a flower to your name, you could not live like i do
this is your funeral song
a grave is a grave and i will grieve
why can't you see, eyes averted
lead to compromise
unable to choose a slave to separation
selfish satisfaction
flowers lain for lives taken
by your hand, severed
sever the hand that takes this life
lay flowers, repercussions
to mourn what couldn't be
Northeast straight-edge hardcore taken to the cathartic, infectious extreme; a fiery EP fueled by spite, spirit, and sick riffs. Bandcamp New & Notable May 24, 2023
A standout full-length debut in what has been an incredible year for hardcore. Ecostrike play a incendiary, impassioned brand of straight edge metallic hardcore that recalls One Truth-era Strife and early Earth Crisis, but are far from being a simple retread of 90’s past. One of the year’s best releases. Busty Loads
