We've forgotten who we are. As men make their own history, still they know we are chained and bound by all the past traditions of dead generations.
So let's raise this bitter glass to us never getting through. When I look into your eyes, I can see you see it too.
For I know that you believe in truth. I try to channel Hughes. Though you doubt me inconsequentially, it gives me more to prove.

Was there some hidden grin within your face when we met last winter? Our past still looms over us as we pretend to be friends.
We exist through history. Inquiry and knowledge acquired by investigation. 
You're like some poor Pharaoh, (but) no more meek tales of past seasons, for tonight we must make haste.
You are the hunted King, uncrowned. Cars collide with horses, like mere stings of Civilisations.
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." to quote George Santayana

Come rise you greater men, still of mind and dark within, they won’t come, they won’t face the question. A small meal, the meat of hog, just pay the man then fetch my dog. They won’t come, they won’t face the question. Now he’s Southside. A long way down. As I think about it now he’s on the other part of town. His prayers are light. His form is down. As I think about it now he’s on the other part of town. There’s markings on her hand so her lover understands what working on the sounds without her around will allow him. Take the knife, the folly blade. Cut inside, scorch your way. These (train) tracks are no places to play. Pray move aside. Please step away. (And I will never never never fall) I’m followed by a mighty sage, he whispers to me night and day, that I will never never never fall. That I will never never never fall.

There is no god coming for you no angels waiting with their wings i'll pull the world right down with you no one ever will ever call for you and i'm gone and i'm gone and i'm gone and i'm gone Nail your visions between your eyes numbers, pictures, coincide i won't kneel down for some man i won't kneel down for your god and i'm gone and i'm gone and i'm gone and i'm gone Day in day i'm on my way, and i won't hurt you son no one will ever call no one will ever call they seek alone your visions own Nail your visions between your eyes pictures numbers coincide i won't kneel for your god i won't kneel for your good pictures numbers coincide Nail your visions between your eyes i won't kneel down for your god i won't kneel down for your man

We won’t forget We were once unloved We all find ourselves Cast out From the warmth of the sun From the eyes of the world We are the shunned I don’t know any answers I don’t hold the key But I’ll stay with you Through the dark and the freeze Will you stay with me? We won’t forget We were once unloved We all find ourselves Cast out From the warmth of the sun From the eyes of the world We are the shunned We won’t forget We won’t forget

Whissendine 06:58
Our works by the water when daylights gone we board it down I helped you with your letter adorned I warn of the fort you mine I help you like a brother sail on like I beat you around I form my laws alone delayed on the features on my way down din lies on the forum bowl me on the four wind ground I deal it like the letter day lights gone and we board it down I helped you on the water she may ride the four winds down I taint you with the prevalence of sea lanes on the beaches on my way down.

about

CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX has been a beacon for the broken and the unheard since its inception in 2004. With Justin Greaves at the helm, they’ve created albums that speak to the voiceless, the marginalized, and the disenchanted.
With this double album release ‘The Wolf Changes Its Fur But Not Its Nature’ + ‘Horrific Honorifics Number Two(2)’, CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX commemorate two decades of defiance and introspection.
‘The Wolf Changes Its Fur But Not Its Nature’ revisits the echoes of their past, reworking and re-recording classics that have been sculpted by time and transformation. With the help of old friends and new allies, these reimagined anthems pulse with renewed vigor and raw emotion. From the extended odyssey of “Song For The Loved” to the resurrection of the lost classic “Whissendine”, each track showcase the exploration of the human condition and the perpetual struggle for justice and equality.
In ‘Horrific Honorifics Number Two(2)’, CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX once again lay bare the soul of the music that carved their path, paying homage to the titans who stoked their spirit. With searing renditions like "Vengeance" by New Model Army, an anthem of resistance and rebellion, and the haunting, introspective take on Laura Branigan's "Self Control," CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX challenges us to see these classics through a new, unflinching lens.
