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.

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....more
Featuring two of the members of Cime, Aron and Jack, this shit has been going around like crazy. Clay Birds is easily one of the most exciting bands of the year! Syzygy Records
Frank is a legend, truly a one-of-a-kind guy. He's improving rapidly and this newest release of his is a sign of greatness that will only be further compounded in the future. God bless! Syzygy Records
I mastered this album for my good friend Ian, who you may know as the drummer for Costco Boyfriend. If you like electronic/indie fusion a là Sweet Trip, you'll like this! Syzygy Records
