about

Inspired by the Documentary "Sweet Crude" by Seattle director Sandy Cioffi, with the associated campaign video of the same name as the track, "Steal the Black Bread" is about the call to action of helping the socially/economically oppressed people of the Niger Delta, and bringing global awareness to their struggle as the Big Oil industry erodes their lifestyle and their land.

lyrics

How could we let
The curtain fall?
Were we insane...watching the life begin
To leak from every single scar.

Making voyeurs of us All.

Forgive the hand
And forgive the knife,
For losses cut...won't bleed as red as
The flesh beneath this sullen sky.

"How can we kill them all tonight?"
"It's not just a right to survive!"

Hear the sound of a sinking ship, Now.
Hold your breath or you're gonna drown.
Blood and Oil never mixed until Now.
Fly that flag, only red and red and...

You tap the veins
And nearly drown.
And honest eyes...would think by now that all
The blood and oil and all you've found.

Would run your truth into the ground!

Hear the sound of a sinking ship, Now.
Hold your breath or you're gonna drown.
Blood and Oil never mixed until Now.
Fly that flag, only red and red and...Black.

"I won't allow it BURN"

Hear the sound of a sinking ship, Now.
Hold your breath or you're gonna drown.
Blood and Oil never mixed until Now.
Fly that flag, only red and red and...

Hear the sound of a sinking ship, Now.
Hold your breath or you're gonna drown.
Blood and Oil never mixed until Now.
