"Będziemy Wolni (We Shall Be Free)" is the debut single from South Bend, Indiana-based black and death metal act, 'A Circle Of Crows'.
Conceptually, it follows the historical accounting of one of Poland's most prolific intelligence officers, and one of the greatest espionage specialists of World War 2, Witold Pilecki.
During that tumultuous travel of time, First Lieutenant Pilecki created and enacted a plan to infiltrate the German concentration camp Auschwitz in an attempt to uncover real, defined details on what transpired beyond the Nazi's borders.
This composition attempts to honor his incredible bravery.
lyrics
(VERSE 1)
The German machine rages on,
Corruption at Court of the Cross,
A symbol of terror corrodes at the core,
Behind the walls made of madness,
Souls break, for the Master Race canvas,
One stroke of the paint, then six million more,
(CHORUS)
No! I must become more than machine, more than we’ve been,
More than the Gods, more than their spawn and on and on,
I am the shear, at hedge of maze, I am the spear through the throat of the Camp-
(VERSE 2)
Enslaved, under guise of civilian,
With intent to defang Ophidian,
I enter the camp on a quest for the cure,
Bring knowledge back from abyssal,
In mind, as translucent as crystal,
And don’t let it break in the blazes of Surt,
No, I must become more than machine, more than we’ve been,
More than the Gods, more than their spawn and on and on, and on and on,
I am the shear, at hedge of maze,
I am the spear through the throat of the Camp, Auschwitz Birkenau, Gungnir reborn,
(BRIDGE)
Stripped of all humanity, all is lost but cause,
Still, the spear, it calls to me, can I reach beyond, to these tribes,
A Circle Of Crows are a South Bend, IN-based black and death metal group with deep roots in traditional heavy metal. Their music is varied and conceptual in nature, and probaby has too many crow sound effects, tbqh.
Bridging Nordic black metal with traditional Celtic folk, the Idaho crushers forge heavy music with a heroic medieval spirit. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 11, 2023
