P.O.W. 00:48
Your fate was sealed years ago Your dream is dead you’ve got to go Your fate is a system you don’t get Cold fucking death calls your debt Prisoner of war Prisoner of war Prisoner of war You’re just a prisoner of war Your fate is an icebox Cold and frozen shame when you’re gone, no one will find you Murdered without blame Prisoner of war Prisoner of war Prisoner of war You’re just a prisoner of war There’s no peace in fucking graves With your medals you’ll be saved, Count your friends and count your time, Sign your name on the fucking dotted line Prisoner of war Prisoner of war Prisoner of war Prisoner of War!

The spinning wheel turns round again Morning to night it turns over again Let go of this trap, break through these chains Repetition is driving me insane Every day’s the same something’s got to reignite the flame Every day gets worse “Normal” expectations have become a curse Worked to death, 9 to 5 you submit I’ve got fucking nothing to show for it Souls snuffed out by the men upstairs Taking a life that’s not rightfully theirs

In My Night 01:44
Between the hours of 10 and 8 All my boys come out to play Chosen few who could never die Welcome yourself to my night Cause of death remains to be seen Screams and cries are all we need Stomping through the east-end streets And every night this shit repeats Join or die Because you’re In my night Slam fuck smash Fight Now you’re in – in my night We’ll never stop – we wont slow down Keep your eyes on the ground Be prepared for society’s attack When it starts – who will have your back? In my night x 4 Chosen few who could never die Welcome yourself to my night

You make eye-contact but there’s nothing there. Stop dragging your boots - What are you scared? You’ll be kissing the floor in a second or two I hope you know what you got yourself into I saw it - I felt it but I kept my mouth shut didn’t mind your shit, didn’t watch where you tread Now you're gonna get cracked over the head

I cant stand the RCMP Taking all my rights away from me Hold you down, they’ve got a gun Saturday night wont be much fun Hey all you fucks, Gett outta here Take your fucking badge, and Leave it fucking clear I cant see past the grin on your face Take all your bullshit and leave this place I cant fucking stand this, DRT cop when will this bullshit, when will it ever stop? I don’t know. Take me downtown. How many more have to get gunned down? Hey all you fucks, Gett outta here Take your fucking badge, and Leave it fucking clear I cant see past the grin on your face Take all your bullshit and leave this place R – C – M - P!

about

"Echoing out of the cracks of poor municipal infrastructure, dimly lit sprawl, failing regional transit, and the likely familiar patina of wood laminate panelling in Mum's attic, Straight Truth blast out of Whitby Ontario with a short EP of rough hardcore punk. Raw, deep, killer vocals in the school of YDI over the alpha faux-mystique of layers of effect drenched power chords, and hammering drums. There's no hiding the force with which they deliver; there's no pretending to finesse; the condemnation of the suburbs; the power of the city: pure hc. 6 originals and a Cro Mags cover." - J. "Mad Man" Falco

Recorded February/March 2016 at the HELL HOUSE
