lyrics

Going off to war for Costa Rica, got my gun
Bayonet mount on my Enfield, for the Yankees, better run

It's loaded and ready
Hold that gun steady
Ol’ Walker better sit still

For a bit we're united, in name, we'll be fighting
Against the Filibusters
We're always fighting, always fighting, siempre en rebelion

(Always in rebellion)

They want to enslave us,
Colonize, and degrade us!
Patria libre o morir!

(Free homeland or death!)

I nearly died the other day, I nearly died
And I couldn't stop thinking about
Would they laugh at me?
Would they know that I nearly died and laugh at me?
But despite all of that, I have to keep on going

Things are never over until they're over
They can tell you that but it's just for control, oh
You have stay optimistic, fight for God, Fonseca did it
And don't you dare, don't you dare, don’t you dare, don’t you dare quit
Don’t you dare quit
(Don’t you dare)
Don't give up on me, or on you, or on us, or on everyone
(On us, on everyone)
We're all waiting for you
(For you!)

You might feel lost, and you might feel scared. It’s understandable, there’s a war out there. But just think of them–your ancestors. They’re watching you, they’re watching us, they always have been. In the midst of everything, remember one thing: fight ‘till you’re done.

about

Syzygy Records Aliso Viejo, California

Syzygy Records isn't a label; it is a portfolio of every project I, Monty Cime, have created.
When I was 11, I learnt the word "syzygy," & in trying to show an example of it, conjectured that "art is the result of an alignment (a "syzygy") of influences & life experiences beyond one's control"—these are my "Syzygy Records."
This conjecture, I came to find out, is a tenet of historical materialism.
