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?

"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.
