Fire Man - World Peace, Eventually

   

  I've had today's song lined up to post for a couple of weeks since it went down a storm on the show. It's by Fire Man (https://www.facebook.com/firemanband/), a new band to me, who are from New York. 

     They've been around for a while but my first experience of them is their new ep, Territorial Conquest 2024. The first song, the title track, is a good introduction. It's mid paced, passionate hardcore, the kind of song that impresses you with both the musicianship and the lyrical content. The next track starts with a sample of John Brown's Body and over it's 6 minute runtime gives plenty of food for thought (this is the track that the 3 Bandcamp reviews pick out as their favourite from the ep). 

  I won't bore you by mentioning every song, I'll just advise you to check them out yourselves. It's available on cassette and digital download (all profits will go to Doctors Without Borders) :                 https://firemannyc.bandcamp.com/album/territorial-conquest-2024

  This was the song that initially caught my attention, it's called World Peace, Eventually...

When all is said and done Will you be breathing out the dust made from all our bodies The time for war is now, Yeah, we are being watched right now in books we make the story No time to question why Yeah, I look out and question why We bomb ourselves for glory We live in fear of words, We choose a death cult made of words and suffocate the peace What side will you be fighting? If you’re not here, where are you? It’s time to stand for justice World peace, eventually We know what’s coming next Yeah, we all know we’re coming next They love the taste of weakness Will you allow the feast? Or will you spill blood for the meek? Defending who is weakest? It’s time for sacrifice Will you give up a tiny slice To show that we mean business I’ll give my life for this Yeah I would give my life for this For justice, then for peace What side will you be fighting? If you’re not here, where are you? When will you stand for justice World peace, eventually World peace is coming next Someday
