A story telling of the chaotic duel between the original denizens of this disaster zone, and the so-called "peacekeepers" hired in to keep order amongst the rebels.

Comments from the producer:
========================
“Now THIS song…had a long journey…It started with the original demo that was released last year. Unsatisfied with the results of the lyrics and audio quality, I rewrote half the first verse and the entire second verse and sent a draft to the band, but never released that version. Then I got unsatisfied with THAT second verse, so I rewrote it again…but then lost that file thanks to a crash, so here we are with the final result…the fourth second verse I wrote. Special thanks to my bros Chris “Drake” Walchel and Pill Battle for providing their parts so awesomely too.”
-Ample Renitence
lyrics
“All of this is pointless…why’d it have to be this way?”
[VERSE 1 – HOPELESS SOUL]
You ever live like everybody’s against you
Nobody by your side in all the madness that you live through
Dark days, and these nights are cold
Living everyday life like you lost your soul
Then you’ll be in my world, one that’s power-driven
Where everything’s taken, nothing is ever given
Getting by is just a matter of being the worst
Possible person you can and not going down first
Because it’s you or them, time is running low now
You got three options, which way will you go do down
1: Mugged by your neighbor, 2: murdered by the cops
Or 3: fighting for your life until your heart stops
Get up run, better grab your gun
Never trust anyone, or you’ll be d-d-done
Indiscriminate violence you’re on everyone’s hit list
Nowhere to left to hide, no reprieve for a witness
[HOOK]
Welcome to my side of hell
Broken glass and trails of blood
Dumpsters, spray paint, and smog
The way we live is all messed up
I’m sick and through with this world
No hope, no time for fleeting dreams
Resistance leads to your grave
Stagnation rips your life at the seams
“Attention citizens, leave now or we will be forced to clear the streets”
[VERSE 2 – MILITANT LEADER]
You ever live like you’re trapped in a cage
Full of dirty, hungry animals all seething with rage?
Dozens of these pests coming straight in a mass
And your only motivation is the onset of cash?
Welcome to my world, and it reeks of pit stains
Roadkill, and methane, It’s so real, it’s insane
How much these people wanna die, but dammit I ain’t gonna lie
A bullet shot straight through their eye just gives me the biggest high
Call me a murderer, call me a criminal
But if they just complied, then casualties would be minimal
We’re the ones who are doing all the good
Trying to progress the city the way that we should
But these parasites are trying to impede on our goals
And the price paid for getting in our way is the death toll
Indiscriminate violence, damn right you’re on our hit list
Nowhere left to run, no reprieve for a witness
[HOOK 2]
Welcome to my side of hell
Empty shells and splatters of blood
No sleep, no rest for the just
Body count on the rise and it effin' sucks
I’m sick and through with these fools
Burn it all till there’s nothing left
It’s game over for all these dissenters
The only one who can save them now is Death
[VERSE 3/BRIDGE – CORRUPT BIGWIG]
Look at them…scrambling for their lives like the dogs that they are
They can try and run all they want, they won’t go very far
To be honest, I feel a little bad for them, it didn’t have to be this way
Too bad for them, taking this city was nothing but mere child’s play
While those rats scurry around killing each other for dirt and crumbs
We who hold the money and power are drinking shots of rum
The best part? We didn’t have to spend a single dime
A free murder show from this penthouse suite, life is just sublime

Wolfblur is one of the most talented individuals ever, and one of our absolute favorite to work together with. Herobot 2 was in the making for a very long time and it was well worth the wait, as this is definitely the best album he's ever released! Freen in Green
