The Outpour (Tongue Vs Sword)
Music and Lyrics by Sean Smith
VERSE
We come to give you the two's and threes
And keep you up off your feet
It's the least we can do 'cause your hands keep me afloat like driftwood at sea
You know we've got something in common no matter your dress no matter your creed
We all stand for one thing that 's what matters the most
We're not alone
Together we are free
So leave your hand away from the bottle, that's for fun it's not always the key
You can get drunk and you can get loaded just remember that honesty will set you free
CHORUS
I can't believe it's been so long
Since I took myself less seriously
I've been stressing and making my life a mess
When I just needed to relax and now I see
So come with me and try to find a better way
We're all the same in the end we've all got dues to pay
The way we act will ultimately be the end of us
That's why I say with heart this time we need to TEAM UP
VERSE
I AM THE VOICE OF THOSE WHO HAVE NONE
I WILL LEAD YOU IN A CHORUS THAT CANNOT BE DENIED
WE WERE RAISED TO THINK THIS WORLD IS SO COLD
WHILE WE SIT AND TAKE ABUSE I WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT I'M TOLD
We come out with fists swinging
It gets better (JUST DON'T LET GO)
Make oppresive ignorant, offensive bigots know that now is not the time to stand for such unintelligence
CHORUS
I can't believe it's been so long
Since I took myself less seriously
I've been stressing and making my life a mess
When I just needed to relax and now I see
So come with me and try to find a better way
We're all the same in the end we've all got dues to pay
The way we act will ultimately be the end of us
That's why I say with heart this time we need to TEAM UP
OUTRO
We don't have to stand for
Days go by, and I never seemed to question why, we need to team up
I'm Beginning to think, that we're losing sight of things, only together, only together
We don't have to stand for THIS!

Berkely duo Axe serve up four catchy, heavy synth-punk rippers inspired by campy horror flicks and old-school heavy metal. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 28, 2021
Oakland band Silent Era's sound is a killer mix of classic hardcore and NWOBHM. On their second LP, they're especially urgent and anthemic. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 1, 2020
Three songs from this raucous New Zealand group that prove punk still has teeth and isn’t afraid to lunge and bite. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 31, 2019
