We made a life from where we started from
Our home stood tall, our lives could never come undone
Looking back we knew the things they couldn't change
We dug in deep, that's why we're standing here today
It’s running through the streets, it’s coursing through my veins
A force that draws me in takes hold of me
A burning sense of pride, this city’s where I'll die
My heart is what's inside, it's a part of me
The city light shines deep inside of me
It’s the blood that’s flowing through my veins
The city light shines deep inside of me
It’s the blood that’s flowing through my veins
We built it up, they tried to burn us down
Our feet held strong and made their way to solid ground
We planted roots that still grow to this day
They'll try to push us out, we know that this is where we’ll stay
Heady hardcore punk from Black Aubergine has groove, heft, and an experimental edge percolating behind the blown-out surface. Bandcamp New & Notable May 23, 2023
