No rotting flesh to enclose you
No spartan cage to coarsely enrobe your soul
You are the voice inside your head
The bold defiance that shouts that you shall soon prevail
Platonic idealized body
This preplanned flesh will then your self extol
A life in brilliant sunshine
Your plasma soul that burns fools who fight their selves
And your desires curtail
Our lives are thus united
Our path's the same
Fused together, we're a nation
Our powers grow
Our bodies entwined in this promised land
Rice bowls from Chipotle
Aborym on the stereo
These are the memories I live for
Our tales become living weapons
Anima infused by the sunlight
(Revolution)
Freedom
I won't let them take you from you
Fight on
We'll oppose them 'till they burn away
wrecked by our strength and majesty
refracted in rainbows and redemption
Bravery and sovereignity (sic)
in the face of hate and misery
this narrative feeds our identity
Time is our bastion
camaraderie is our shield
against their duality
Make no mistake of it
we are a martial people
we're fighting for the right to transcend our pasts
For ourselves
for our friends now lost
and those who follow us
Time now to end our struggle
Animus infused with the sunlight
make your stand
walk on the side of justice
embody an incandescent future
No more can we hide in shadows
our iron's hot
now it's time to forge ahead
Reason (whether through law or through war) is our goal
no rejection will stop our emancipation
Our home's on this earth
towards the stars
and it's by your side
Justice (x16. Yes, really.)
Through our pride
a flourishing future

Planepacked Natick, Massachusetts
Planepacked is (usually) metaltronica - in practice, extreme metal with lots of keyboards and synthesizers. Created by a code-slinging, krav maga practicing transwoman from Massachusetts.
Planepacked recommends:
Misconception
by Critical Defiance
Critical Defiance's debut will smash you into a million pieces, but it's also an intricate and technical work of thrash metal.
go to album
An outpouring of pure grief and rage, through chilling and beautiful neoclassical arrangements. The vocals particularly stand out for their intricacy and (sometimes) violence.
