SAND STORMS

We're still working on songs for the new album.

The latest is a song called SAND STORMS, about the fact that each one of us is nothing but a grain of sand in the greater scheme of things (as "useful" as an anchor on the concrete or a teacher dictating the weather forecast) and yet, if all the grains of sand work together they can accomplish anything (mountains are made of grains of sand and sand storms are nothing but grains of sand). We are storms, we are mountains.

This one goes to all the grains of sand who want to move mountains instead of attacking defenceless people like cowards...




SAND STORMS


an anchor on the concrete

a fucking empty box of matches
CCTV in a cornfield 
choirboys with their throats slit

screaming underwater

white noise blaring on a speaker
we are all grains of sand

WE ARE ALL GRAINS OF SAND

YOU & I, GRAINS OF SAND

WE ARE NOTHING BUT GRAINS OF SAND

WE ARE ALL GRAINS OF SAND

a number on a blank page

a punk rocker buying a Billy bookcase
the fine print on a billboard
drug dealers with “or your money back” cardboards

life vests in a plane crash

a teacher dictating the weather forecast
we are all grains of sand

WE ARE ALL GRAINS OF SAND

YOU & I, GRAINS OF SAND

WE ARE NOTHING BUT GRAINS OF SAND

WE ARE ALL GRAINS OF SAND

but storms are nothing but grains of sand

and mountains they are made of grains of sand

we are storms

we are mountains
we are the key to break the chains

WE ARE SAND STORMS AND MOUNTAINS

WE ARE SAND STORMS AND MOUNTAINS
