J-Shrine of Dawn

A song against fascism in America (and around the world)
Check out the music video! It's not a dull political lecture - it's fun, I promise!

No Kings for Me

I will not bow
My knees will not bend
There are no kings for me

I will not yield
Send your goon squads back to hell
There are no kings for me

How did the worst of us rise to the top?
Degenerates and hypocrites
The ugliest Americans
They won't depart you if you're white
And love is their kryptonite

Now I am a vagabond in their stupid eyes
But this vagabond is free
Here's how it goes:
A coup by twisted billionaire bros
But there are no kings for me

I'll hide my face
From their dark surveillance state
I'll piss on their graves
You'll see
Their fear hate and lies
And lies and lies and lies
I've built up immunity

How did the worst of us get to decide
That we support murderers and genocide?
Better watch your step because
Here come the masked American thugs

I will not kiss
Your gangster ostentatious ring
There are no kings for me
Your time is up
Your fascist dream is crumbling
The vagabonds sing "we are free"

And why do the worst of us hate us so much?
I never hated them until
They bowed down to the antichrist
They chose their path to hell
I wish that I could wish them well

No I will not bow
My knees will not bend
There are no kings for me
I will not yield
Send your goon squads back to hell
There are no kings for me

No Kings for Me

I had Spitfire Solo Strings gifted to me a while ago, I’m not even gonna say how long, it’s embarrassing. This track took forever. I knew exactly what I wanted (like I always do), but getting it to sound the way it did in my head? Nope. I lost count of how many times I rage quit.. but I always came back. I’m so glad I’m a stubborn bitch with a caffeine addiction and no sense of when to give up, because now I finally love how it turned out. Worth every dramatic sigh, every thrown cushion, and every “I swear I’m deleting this forever.” 💥🎻☕

I hope it brings you even a sliver of the ridiculous joy I felt when it finally sounded right, because this one nearly broke me and my keyboard. I'm not sure I will ever do another.

☕ The coffee machine let out a steamy wheeze and muttered, “My beans.... my soul.... I can finally rest”.
💿 The microwave blinked slowly and whispered, “That sound you hear? It’s the universe exhaling”.
💨 The kettle let out one last hiss and shrieked, “SHE FINISHED IT, SOMEBODY WRITE THIS DATE DOWN”.

Made in FL Studio using u-he Diva, Arturia Analog Lab, Omnisphere, Vital, and Spitfire BBC Symphony Orchestra. Additional textures from LABS and custom sample layers. Reverb by Valhalla. Also features Spitfire Solo Strings and the Arturia KeyLab Essential Mk3 (61-key)

I can't even blame you, girl,
after I've learned about your world.
Fucked up, but, still, that is that.
I have given all of me,
and sometimes I did believe
that we'd create a habitat. 

But then tonight happened again,
and I've lost my love, and best friend. 

It didn't need to escalate,
then you wanted to stay out 'late',
drink some more, and party hard.
Then when it was time to leave,
you spoke shit I'd rather disbelieve, 
and now I have to leave. It's hard.

Because when you're straight, you are great.
But, I keep making the same mistake
of forgiving you. Now, it's too late.
My heart is torn, but, so is fate. 

You can('t) change.
