Parabellum

Parabellum were a Colombian extreme metal band from Medellín active in the 1980s. The band was described by Terrorizer magazine as one of the world's first black metal bands, as well as the first extreme metal band from Colombia and one of the very first from all South America. According to writer Emilio Cuesta, Øystein "Euronymous" Aarseth—a musician associated with the early Norwegian black metal scene—has said Parabellum and Medellín's Reencarnación were both influential to his own band Mayhem. more »

Pick it up, I throw it down
This demographic is so profound
Hate me for this while I hate you for that
Blinded by words while we're under attack
Red and Blue, ass and elephant too
They care about me and forget about you
Lining their pockets they're golden now
While we're suffering, they got a golden child
House of many, who represent few
Look out for themselves because they enjoy the views
Have a choice, but they limit your voice
Come forward with noise, while we're keeping our poise
It's time to wise up, we gotta choose
Politicians don't care about you
It's time to rise up, we gotta choose
Gotta choose, gotta choose, gotta choose
It's time to wise up, we gotta choose
Politicians don't care about you
He said this, she said that
Can't you see that we're under attack?
A senate speaks, self interest the topic
Disguised by empty bills and impeachment process
Limited options is terrible optics
In fighting with brothers we fail each other
Screaming "change," while lacking trust
Marks on ballot boxes don't count for much
But that's ok at least we're free
To hashtag rock the vote with MTV
What will you do when you've lost your way
Lost your will to play,
Can you afford to stay, when you've lost your way?
It's time to wise up, we gotta choose
Politicians don't care about you
It's time to rise up, we gotta choose
Gotta choose, gotta choose, gotta choose
It's time to wise up, we gotta choose
Politicians don't care about you
He said this, she said that
Can't you see that we're under attack?
Talk is cheap, but we pay the price
Can we save tonight?
Or is all lost and just stay the course
Do the best with what we have with no remorse
Follow me down this brand new road
It's the one we chose, don't know where it goes
Manifests in a whole new century
This is our destiny!
It's time to wise up, we gotta choose
Politicians don't care about you
It's time to rise up, we gotta choose
Gotta choose, gotta choose, gotta choose
It's time to wise up, we gotta choose
Politicians don't care about you
He said this, she said that
Can't you see that we're under attack?
