Bearing Witness

about

Track 6 on the new record.

The case of Sacco and Vanzetti is well-known and is an incident that cuts to the core of status-quo power versus radicalism and human rights. Although it occurred nearly a century ago, this seven-year case sought to make negative examples of these immigrants as everything undesirable in white, Anglo-Saxon Protestant society. Instead, it signified the first of many political scares over radicalism in the U.S., and a moving terminus in the lives of two men at the union of anarchism, empathy and dignified determination.

lyrics

grinded down night and day
a railroaded practice to serve the greater public
to provide another body in the casket of consciousness
an acceptance of a failed jurisprudence
and the off chance we deliver the civic duty to bear witness to our collective mistakes
where every footstep was laid
with pride and persistence
and that whimsical notion of dedication
I never knew
I never heard of anything so cruel
I never read in history
of anything so cruel
