Raid is a very simple modern rock song.  It sort of sounds like the type of things Foo Fighters would do.  The chord and groove stay pretty much the same throughout.

I lost the lyrics to this song so I just whipped out a new one before this recording.  Whatever the old version was, I know I didn’t like it as much as I do this one.  I’m particularly fond of the last chorus — it chokes me up.  ”Sun of Iscariots” is a fake cult that I just made up — I hope nothing like that really exists.  I just liked how it rhymed with “chariots.”

Heavy Poets: Raid

 

When the new order came with chariots
And fire planes of gold
With faith in the Sun of Iscariots
I soiled the scars untold

Through the veins of concrete
I have lost my life
Throw away this comfort
Cut me up with a knife

She made the move, I justified
As other souls have done
A chain of command, so dignified
I gave my code, begone

Through the veins of concrete
I have lost my life
Throw away this comfort
Free me up with a knife

When I’m on the other side
When I’m through this strife
I will right our raid
I will sing for your life
