The man I see in the mirror breeds hate
The reflection of a sinner has gone insane
Struggling heart of a dreamer is forged in flames
Hopeless eyes of this stranger are completely drained,
The man I see in the mirror breeds hate
The reflection of a sinner has gone insane
Struggling heart of a dreamer is forged in flames
Hopeless eyes of this stranger are completely...
Contaminated with negativities surrounded by his inferiorities
Pulled down by his deformity
Mocked by narrow-minded society
They had always looked down on him
They didn't know the thoughts within
Questions in his head
Have made him wonder who really cares
They had always laughed at him
Cursing and insults had sunk in
Dark clouds in his head
Have covered the sanity that's left
Hatred has found its home
Right within the heart and soul
Of the man that's left alone
And anytime may become unknown
Ridiculed and humiliated,
By the ones that he once had trusted,
Judged and discriminated
By those who were defeated
Despite the negativities around him, his life still continued
He took everything that was thrown at him
And surpassed the obstacles he went through
He had nothing left in him and he was being consumed
The walls were closing in, yet he chose to fight and refuse
Utilize the hate within
As motivation to rebuild
Overcome the fear within
Focus and do not give in
RESIST, REINVENT
The man I see in the mirror has used his hate,
To survive the world of sinners that obliterates
Struggling heart of this dreamer has now regained
The once lost hope of a stranger that once lost his way
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
