Behind Enemy Lines
Carmine Rebellion
Another barrage As you slander me and spread your mindless hate Another day Yes, it's just another day Do you really think I chose this? Chose to be always under attack? The only thing that's worse Is the thought of ever going back Resist! I won't back down I will not hide away No matter what you say Resist I won't give up I'm fighting for my life Behind enemy lines Another barrage As you come for me and take my rights away Another day Yes, it's just another day Do you really think I chose this? To be an outcast, pushed aside? I had to show my truth When I found I could no longer hide Exist! I'm still standing And if that's all I can do It's a victory over you Exist! I won't disappear I'm staying right here Behind enemy lines You cast us as the resistance But everyone loves underdogs You made yourself the evil empire But we all know how empires fall All your lies and victim blaming Will only carry you so far When anyone can see That you're the one attacking me Exist! I'm still standing And if that's all I can do It's a victory over you Exist! I won't disappear I'm staying right here Behind enemy lines Resist! I won't back down I will not hide away No matter what you say Resist I won't give up I'm fighting for my life Behind enemy lines

Delineation
Carmine Rebellion
You drew a line between the good people and the bad You’re not on the side you think you are You want to shape the world to fit your narrow mind Can’t you see that you are wrong? Oh-oh Oh-oh Why are you preaching segregation? Drawing a false delineation Between black and white In a world of grey? All of the energy you’re wasting On cruel misrepresentation All the lies you tell Hateful things you say I will not give way You want to change our past You burn our history It doesn’t change the truth You wallow in your hate You let it twist your mind It infects your every thought Oh-oh Oh-oh Why are you preaching segregation? Drawing a false delineation Between black and white In a world of grey? All of the energy you’re wasting On cruel misrepresentation All the lies you tell Hateful things you say I will not give way You said the law was clarified All that remained was to see mistakes rectified You drew a line to divide All pretence at decency was cast aside You drew up rules to misguide Said who is free to live their life and who must hide Your hatred can’t be satisfied Except by annihilation and genocide Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh Why are you preaching segregation? Drawing a false delineation Between black and white In a world of grey? All of the energy you’re wasting On cruel misrepresentation All the lies you tell Hateful things you say I will not give way You say you’re tired Well any time you like you can just stop This is a ride you can get off I’m forced to defend my rights Or I could lose it all But in the bitter end You’re fighting for nothing at all Why are you preaching segregation? Drawing a false delineation Between black and white In a world of grey? All of the energy you’re wasting On cruel misrepresentation All the lies you tell Hateful things you say I will not give way You drew a line between the good people and the bad You’re not on the side you think you are

Distressed Heart
Carmine Rebellion
This heart is looking kind of worn But it fits the way I feel The colours faded But it’s still full of pride It fits the way I feel I’ve been hurt I’ve been abused I’ve been beaten I’ve been accused This heart’s distressed This heart’s in pain This heart’s still beating This heart is stressed This heart is strained But this heart’s still beating This heart is battered and it’s bruised But I’m proud of every scar It’s seen some battles It’s been through some abuse But I’m proud of every scar It’s been crushed It’s been dismayed It’s been broken It’s been betrayed This heart’s distressed This heart’s in pain This heart’s still beating This heart is stressed This heart is strained But this heart’s still beating This heart is looking kind of worn And I am feeling kind of torn This heart’s distressed This heart’s in pain This heart’s still beating This heart is stressed This heart is strained But this heart’s still beating

Phantasm
Carmine Rebellion
I don't trust you That makes you a threat I'm scared you'll hurt me That make you violent I think you're wrong That makes me right You're not like me You must be my replacement Ignorance forestalls a change Misdirect the masses Turn their ire to the side Away from their true enemy All the lies provoke and disgust All the lies obscure and confuse All the lies feed the phantasm Separate you from the truth They tell me I'm right That this is so wrong The enemy's weak And yet they're so strong I feel surrounded I see foes everywhere I think you're against me And that makes me angry and scared Divide and rule the 99% And keep them angry Turned always against themselves Away from their true enemy All the lies provoke and disgust All the lies obscure and confuse All the lies feed the phantasm The constant stream of propaganda Stokes the fires of discontent The flames rising ever higher Stir awake the hornets nest All the lies provoke and disgust All the lies obscure and confuse All the lies feed the phantasm Separate you from the truth

Shredding My Soul
Carmine Rebellion
Cut me And I'll bleed the same as you The marks upon my skin Tell of struggles not of sin Tell me Why you say the things you do When you know that they're not true Can't you see you'll never win? You can cut me but I’ll heal You won’t change the way I feel Why are you shredding my soul? Denying my identity? This is not about you This is all about truth We don’t need to be enemies Why are you shredding my soul? You don't even know me In this game you're no skin You've got nothing to win But you make me your enemy Why are you shredding my soul? Cut me Just to watch me bleed Cos you want to cause me pain And you will do it again Tell me - tell me - tell me Why you can't just let it be Why do you refuse to see Who is your real adversary? Cut me again but I will heal It won't change the way I feel Why are you shredding my soul? Denying my identity? This is not about you This is all about truth We don’t need to be enemies Why are you shredding my soul? You don't even know me In this game you're no skin You've got nothing to win But you make me your enemy Why are you shredding my soul? Cut me just because you can My pain is what you want Cos the cruelty is the point Tell me What made you this way? How'd you go so far astray? That you're blinded by your hate Cut me down; I'll stand again The truth will always remain Why are you shredding my soul? Denying my identity? This is not about you This is all about truth We don’t need to be enemies Why are you shredding my soul? You don't even know me In this game you're no skin You've got nothing to win But you make me your enemy Why are you shredding my soul? Cut me just to watch me bleed Does it give you what you need? Why are you shredding my soul? Denying my identity? This is not about you This is all about truth We don’t need to be enemies Why are you shredding my soul? Denying my identity? This is not about you This is all about truth We don’t need to be enemies Why are you shredding my soul? You don't even know me In this game you're no skin You've got nothing to win But you make me your enemy Why are you shredding my soul?

Fight Fire With Fire
Carmine Rebellion
Every accusation is a confession Every attack comes from obsession Every attacker is "just asking questions” But each accusation is still a confession Fight fire with fire Fight fire with fire Fight fire with fire Fight fire with fire and watch them burn Every decision is not a diversion Each cry for help's not just seeking attention So many attacks from too many directions Every assault is not just a diversion Fight fire with fire Fight fire with fire Fight fire with fire Fight fire with fire and watch them burn

Just Another Human
Carmine Rebellion
Hit snooze a few too many times Then start your day a bit too late Shower quickly, breakfast, coffee Hurry out to join the race It’s just another day It’s just another day You just want to live your life Like any other woman Just like everybody else You’re just another human Hit snooze a few too many times Then start my day behind the pace Shower, breakfast, news and coffee Hurry out to join the race It’s just another day It’s just another day I just want to live my life Like any other woman I’m not so different to you I’m just another human It’s just another day It’s just another day I just want to live my life Like any other woman I’m not so different to you I’m just another human I just want to be myself Like any other woman I just want to live and laugh and live Like any other human

Cross The Line (2026)
Carmine Rebellion
You… drew a line in the sand And buried your head Now you’re seeing red I… needed a hand You turned away A shadow on my darkest day I stood alone I had to do this on my own I had to find the strength inside I crossed the line Crossed the divide I broke your rules and I feel justified And I don’t care What you say If you order me to go back, Return to yesterday I will disobey You… set out your rules Said how it must be But you left no space for me I… was pushed to the side Not wanted or missed Let’s pretend I don’t exist Did it make you feel strong? You kicked me when I was down But somehow it strengthened my resolve I crossed the line Crossed the divide The grass is greener on the other side And I don’t care What you say If you order me to go back And live the other way I will disobey Fear the other Fear the new Fear anyone who is not just like you Fear the question Fear the truth Fear the answers falling on you with the weight of proof I crossed the line Crossed the divide I broke your rules and with a sense of pride And I don’t care What you say If you order me to go back, Return to yesterday I will disobey

Existence
Carmine Rebellion
xistence is rebellion So if that's all you've got Don't feel bad You're doing good work In a world that wants to crush you Existing takes a lot That's a fact You're doing good work We all get tired sometimes And that's ok That's ok We can't all make the climb But you don't have to We'll carry you When even existence is an act of resistance Just go on, and they will never win When simple persistence is an act of resistance Just carry on, carry on resisting Existence is rebellion If you do nothing more Just go on You're doing good work This world will push you down If you just stay afloat And no more You're doing good work I know it's hard sometimes It's ok It's ok We can still see you shine Even in the dark We know your heart When even existence is an act of resistance Just go on, and they will never win When simple persistence is an act of resistance Just carry on, carry on resisting We hear your words See your fire And it lifts us higher You showed us how But for now We'll try to do you proud When even existence is an act of resistance Just go on, and they will never win When simple persistence is an act of resistance Just carry on, carry on resisting

I'm Still Here
Carmine Rebellion
After everything you said After all the lies you spread After everything you did I’m still here After all the hate I faced Every day the hate I taste All these years can’t be erased But I’m still here After everything you’ve done All the battles lost and won Despite all the lies you’ve spun I’m still here I’ve faced your endless, mindless hate And I’m still here I’ve faced the slander that you call debate And I’m still here I’ve faced your insane bigotry And I’m still here I’ve faced the law weaponised against me And I’m still here

No Surrender
Carmine Rebellion
These days respect and dignity Sure ain’t what they used to be The less said about clarity The better for our sanity The increasing toxicity Gives rise to growing hostility And the courts all seem to be Overrun with bigotry I’m not turning out the light I won’t go down without a fight No surrender I'm not giving in No surrender I won't just let you win I’m not giving ground I'm not backing down No surrender..... No surrender These days respect and dignity Ain't found in the vicinity Of government or EHRC And their cruel ideology There's a rotten hive of villainy From the courts down to the BBC And the message on every TV Comes straight from the conspiracy They're manufacturing consent They're stoking fear and hate There's not much time left to push back Before it is too late No surrender I'm not giving in No surrender I won't just let you win I'm not giving ground I'm not backing down No surrender I won't give up my truth No surrender No matter what you do I'm not gonna lie for you I'm not gonna die for you No surrender..... No surrender They're playing on your fears They're lying and spreading hate We'll stand up and fight back It isn’t too late No surrender I'm not giving in No surrender I won't just let you win I'm not giving ground I'm not backing down No surrender I won't give up my truth No surrender No matter what you do I'm not gonna lie for you I'm not gonna die for you No surrender..... No surrender

Fly Free (For The Hatchlings)
Carmine Rebellion
When you see yourself for the first time And you understand When you realise why you never fit In society's plans At last your eyes are open And you won't turn away this time You can see yourself You can be yourself And it’s beautiful You create yourself Liberate yourself And it’s beautiful When you share your truth for the first time And you're understood When you see yourself in the mirror And it's really you At last your eyes are happy And you won't turn back this time You can see yourself You can be yourself And you’re beautiful One day you'll fly Some day you'll leave it all behind All the doubts in your mind will fade away One day you'll fly Fly free You'll be what you were meant to be Then you live your life for the first time And you feel so free And you realise for the first time What your life could be The world lies before you As it never has before You can see yourself You can be yourself And you’re beautiful One day you'll fly Some day you'll leave it all behind All the doubts in your mind will fade away One day you'll fly And leave the pain of yesterday Every rule you disobey will set you free
