Living your life in the past Defeat never comes too fast Worshiping what never was Dying for a new lost cause You may not yet be too lost You can skirt the Devil's cost No such thing as simpler times Live in the now or get left behind Images from history Feed you lies through artistry Homemaker wife and three kids Breadwinner man, white picket fence You may not yet be too lost You can skirt the Devil's cost No such thing as simpler times Live in the now or get left behind Get your head out of your ass Traditions aren't meant to last Slow to rouse but I believe That you can change what you perceive Walking anachronism Head stuck in the clouds of deceit Walking anachronism Your blindness will be your own defeat Shame! Unto this elder propaganda Filtered down through aeons Used to infect new generations Perverting the reality Of so-called "better days" When men were men A fallacy A smokescreen of niceties Preventing the truth from being seen Fanning the flames of identity For a nation that has never been Encouraging violent action Against those who never meant you any harm All because of some dark nostalgia Brought to you in an atmosphere of wicked charm Blood! Is a meaningless indicator You put so much faith into Ascribing worth to what we all have Killing your fellow man For an outdated ideal Of what it means to be Borne of this land Your suffering will be of your own making As you learn for what you truly strive A hell of your own creation With your own hands you built a cage in which to die A regime propped up on falsehoods Where will you go when you yourself don't fit the mold Nowhere to run from the gods that you erected Trying to resurrect an empire of old Walking anachronism Walking anachronism Walking anachronism Walking anachronism

about

"Walking Anachronism" was recorded for the first (of hopefully many) compilation record released by BC-based independent record label Syrup Moose Records, proceeds of which are going to be donated towards indigenous land defenders in the region. The song stands as a denouncement of conservative propaganda which hails that things were better in the past, when in fact, they were not.
