We Desire A Feast
Ruby Rockatansky
v1 This is my sin Fight from within How can you judge what's right? The hypocrite You don't know shit Dull existence You hate your life You'll ruin mine Just to feel like you're worth our time You have no shame You have pride Millions would cheer if you fucking died Why do you try? What's the point? Everyone knows you're just a scared little boy Nothing to show Everything to hide Caught in the act The whole world knows your lies! v2 So fucking sick What makes you tick? How can you sleep at night? Diamond blood eyes Apartheid Just one way to set it right Eye for an eye You only have two Each of your limbs will have to do Eating the rich A figure of speech? Either way, we desire a feast This is your sin Die from within Everyone will hear you scream Billions in cash Legacy of ash We will see vengeance at last!

Realize Your Strength
Ruby Rockatansky
chorus This is the time to rise This is the time to fight This is the time to realize your strength! This is the time to rise This is the time to fight This is the time to redefine your faith! Don't give up now Show us your faith This is your chance Show them your strength verse I dream of foggy streets Upon which I've yet to walk Concealed by the shadows of cowards Unseen monsters hunt and stalk They bare their fangs and pounce Revealed for all to see Yet no witness dare denounce They stain their hands with apathy Abject cruelty on display The monsters rip my flesh They rip me from myself Until only rage is left Yet I do not stand alone I carry the strength of many My siblings are all with me They roar their presence known chorus 2 This is the time to rise This is the time to fight This is the time to realize your strength This is the time to rise This is the time to fight This is the time to redefine your faith You saved my life This is my faith You took your chance And showed them your strength!

Blood of the Heartless
Ruby Rockatansky
v1 Silent masters Sight unseen Who can blame us for our dreams? Silent masters So it seems Soon hereafter, even gods will bleed chorus Master of ruin Mass flagellation Masking the truth Masacreation Blood! Blood! How does it run so cold? v2 Silent masters Hear them confess Spare no mercy for the merciless Silent masters How they scream Who can blame us for this dream? v3 Liars! Grifters! Falsifiers! Traitors! Debaters! and deniers! Human monsters who despise us They mock the truth inside us We know the heartless can bleed Drain them dry! Silence their dogmatic creed They must die Slit their throats and watch them burn Destroy foundations that freedom may return Teach yourself that the world may learn Give to those whose minds yet yearn We won't be the last to survive (mark my words!) War is here yet we must thrive (what we deserve!) chorus Master of ruin Mass flagellation Masking the truth Masacreation Blood! Blood! How does it run so cold?

Our Vengeance Come
Ruby Rockatansky
[intro] This is not the end We have come so far Our fight is far from over but This is not the end Persevere Hold your heart dear Remember who you are Victory is near Our vengeance come, Our will is one, Our song is sung Their time is done, Their souls are shunned, Their bell is rung We won't forget, We can't relent, We'll die in silence Our vengeance come, Our will is one, We will not run [chorus] We soar On wings of our design We set course The stars we realign [verse 1] The time is now! Where do you stand? They desire your fear Don't obey their command They try to erase us The truth has no basis To deny our creation And destroy education We! Will! Not! Go! Into the night! The time is now! Don't lose your heart Or succumb to despair We'll rip them apart We aren't the first We won't be the last We will walk this earth Until it is ash [rep chorus] [verse 2] Do you hear us march? We ride to the beat Of a million crying hearts We will never retreat I know who I am So try as they may We know who we are We will win this day We! Will! Sur-Vive! It is our right! Our time is now! Do you hear us sing? They can't deny our strength Or the fire in our wings Our vengeance come, Our will is one, Our song is sung We will not run! Death! Before detransition Death! Before assimilation Death! Before collaboration x2 BUT IT WON'T BE OUR DEATH

Stonewall (Remastered, Transgressive Cover)
Ruby Rockatansky
Ripping through the walls of binary society Suppressed by the raids of police tyranny A village organized and dared to make a stand Equal treatment, equal freedom, these were their demands Always remember The first Pride was a riot Always remember Don’t you ever go quiet Silent voices unheard for since thousand years ago Exploded in a moment that oppressors couldn’t hold The traitors tried to grab all that were there just to be But that became the last straw before the uprising Always remember The first Pride was a riot Always remember Don’t you ever go quiet Always remember The first Pride was a riot Always remember Don’t you ever go QUIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET

"Per Scientiam ad Justitiam" (Through Science to Justice) was the motto of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (Institute of Sexual Science) founded by Magnus Hirschfeld in 1919. It was the first sexology research center in the world and pioneered care, understanding, and knowledge pertaining to queer individuals, particularly in regards to trans healthcare.

In 1933, the Institute was raided by Nazis and much of their work was destroyed.

It's 2025 and I'm trans and angry at the genocides being committed against us and so, so many others in the world right now.

This EP is dedicated to all those who have been victims of these atrocities and all those who are yet to be.

The fight is far from over.

Most guitars and vocals were recorded during live streams on Twitch throughout February, March, and April.
