I’m going to start a new feature here on Birds Before The Storm, called Nurr Goth Isn’t Political. I’m sick of how people assume that goth has no good political music. So I’ll be posting some of the more overtly awesome and radical spooky/dark/goth/ebm/industrial tracks I can find.
First, the swedish band Covenant with their “We Want Revolution”
lyrics behind the cut.
Covenant: We Want Revolution
kill your television
steal the satellites
download all the codes
catch the public eyeshout your manifesto
bring your megaphone
stay below the radar
join the undergroundI want to car, skid and crash into the brave new world
I want to ridewe want revolution
constant evolution
start your engines blow your fuses
burn the bridges for the future
this is our solutiontime for retribution
bring your target down
beat the jungle drums
flaunt your decadenceUnderground Resistance
keeps you entertained
feed your hungry mind
shape the things to comeI want to car, skid and crash into the brave new world!
Maybe a bit of a stretch, but Midnight Oil has some VERY gothy songs and all are explicitly political.
