We worked on the most recent version together. This was actually originally written by Czecho (our guitarist). A sunrise governed by those who have subjugated, brutalized, and exploited? It inspired me to think about what would the sixth sun look like. When a new sun rises, it's the start of a new world, a new time governed in a different way. In this song, I really thought about the Legend of the 5th Sun - a Nahua creation story about how the present world was preceded by four previous cycles of creation and destruction. In my writing at the time, I was reading pretty heavily into books about the history of subjugation, brutalization, and exploitation of Central and South America, what lead up to it, and what its legacy of it is. Somehow these two songs melded into one even though they’re two very different subject matters haha. So why not start by pointing out the cowardly, pathetic way white supremacists conduct themselves? A group so "proud" about their own sense of superiority, who they are, and what they are, yet they have to talk in coded language, behind a goofy ass veil? So proud, yet will never will never directly admit to their affiliation or beliefs? So I gotta ask, why hide what you are? Why don’t you just show your face? I wanted to go straight into the record with what I was thinking and feeling.
