Bad Breeding

Retribution

From Contempt2024

Lyrics

Retribution

Through the stolen hours

And all the mangled strain

There is latent power

In each and every day

Smash the clock, suspend the lie

Down the tools that pacify

And with the grace of a sickle

Reap everything they stole

Because these days are ours to take

Seize them with union, love and rage

Reach beyond division

No more participation

The tainted walls are fraying

Time for rеtribution

With the glint of our revengе

Sow a seed into the soil

And from the ashes of indignity

Watch each other grow

Because these days are ours to take

Seize them with union, love and rage

Picture their fall, don't let it fade

Build them free of rot, free of hate

Organise your pain, don’t take the bait

Picture their fall, don't let it fade
