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
5:03
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
