From the album ‘Trust No Leaders’ by The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara. Released July 1, 2022. 

// Count the Dead
The events of 2020-21 have exposed the fragility of our global systems and the flawed foundations on which modern societies and economies are built. ‘Count the Dead’ brings attention to complex issues concerning the value of human life. The song draws attention to the social and economic injustices that plague society, and the violent health inequalities that have been further exacerbated by the global pandemic, which has now claimed more than 4 million lives worldwide.    

Continuing the themes addressed in ‘Love in the Time of Pestilence’, ‘Count the Dead’ is the second instalment of songs addressing the ongoing pandemic and global crisis. At a time when the world appears to be more divided than ever before, discourse has never been more important, and urgent.

🎵  Lyrics 🎵 

The human race has been living in fear for years 
No one to trust, who do we blame 
Millions have died because their leaders gambled with lives 
Who are they to decide who lives and who dies 

They put wealth, over our health  
They count us dead, while we are alive 
They let bodies pile, then feed us lies 

Here,  
Don’t lie 
Don’t waste my time 

The culling of man 
The great divide 
Priority to the rich  
The poor die like flies  

Thrive and despise 
No more love for those demised 
You count the dead before they die 
You prosper on fucking lies 

A great chasm has formed within our societies 
A story of two nations, rich and poor 
Rising inequality and injustice 
The worst of human nature, amplified 
  
You let the masses congregate   
Knowing thousands will die  
You gamble with lives, ignore the science  
Your policy has cost thousands of lives  
You look away, as the bodies pile high  
You count us dead, while we are alive  
Count the dead, before they die  

Thrive and despise  
No more love for those demised  
You count the dead before they die  
You prosper on fucking lies  

Thrive and despise  
No more love for those demised  
You count the dead before they die  
You prosper on fucking lies  

Here,   
Don’t lie  
Don’t waste my time  

Now is time for the human race to rise up  
Our leaders have fed us lies for far too long  
What humanity needs is a great reset  
Find ways to harmonise, not polarise  

Follow no leader  
But leave no one behind

Origins, the third album by The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara, is out now.

The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara (TCOMAS), a UK-based duo featuring Daphne Ang (Singapore) and Andrea Papi (Italy), emerged in London in early 2020. Their debut album, Full Spectrum, established their innovative fusion of poetry performance and heavy music, creating a unique form of expression that has become synonymous with TCOMAS.
TCOMAS's sophomore album, Trust No Leaders, released on July 1, 2022, explores the history of metal, paying tribute to various subgenres. Set against orchestral and cinematic landscapes, the songs also incorporate non-Western musical influences. The lyrics draw inspiration from contemporary and classical poetry, as well as Jungian psychology.
