lyrics

They rallied up the children, had them watching Rambo films inside of the tents they lived in, killing in the land they were raised in. “A diamond is forever.” Oh they feel the catch is clever. Dozens of heads were severed. Now you walk the aisle and say “I do.”

No education left and so they joined the R.U.F. Blood dripping into tears, another sale by the Debeers. Diamonds are valueless. I hope you get the gist of this. The end result is always real. A long way gone just ask Ishmael.

Shots at 5am, shots that never end.

No education left and so they joined the R.U.F. Blood keeps dripping into tears, "to hell Debeers!" I hope you get the gist of it, that diamonds shouldn't come to this. Weapons taller than the boys that you destroyed... Now welcome to the rebel group. It's up to you, die or shoot. This is our game. We use cocaine to numb the brain till breathing and killing are the same.

Give me your hand, stretch it out and touch your God and when we're finished with the first one, pull the other one out too. Diamonds hiding away in this village we've eradicated, all that we've had amputated, people have no clue.

Over a course of years, a silence came from the Debeers. They really love that stone, Angola, Sierra Leone. Fast cars and Blood Diamonds and private jets to their Islands. I hope we made it oh so clear, a business built on death and fear. Now welcome to the rebel group. It's up to you, die or shoot. This is our game. We use cocaine to numb the brain till breathing and killing are the same.

With its debut album, this young band from Vienna follows the footsteps of honorable Austrian prog masters like "Matter Of Taste". The music on this concept album is not of the kind I'd call particularly innovative - it travels pretty much on well known roads paved by many others long ago. However, these youngsters do it in a highly pleasant way, skillfully avoiding the pitfalls of pseudo-progressive phrase rehashing most of the time - certainly more successfully so than several of their experienced grand paragons of prog.
