UXB from Black Science by Machines Dream
This song is based upon the experience of our manager Eugene growing up in North Belfast in a fiercely nationalist/republican stronghold. The military/police presence was both constant and heavy. Bombs were placed in every possible location to kill and/or maim the security forces - but often innocents - and he often wondered did the perpetrators watch from the shadows to see the result of their evil handiwork. "The worst part was after a bomb had exploded - the proverbial deafening silence - then - the screams of the dying and the wounded. All this done in the name of a cause. But not my cause."

Lyrics
Crouching on the street, eyes that cannot see
Danger creeping from all sides.
Shadowed out of sight, focused on the prize
My audience about to die.
Without cause
Without God
Without pause
Without choice.
I am sunlight.
I am justified.
Words writ on a wall, my clarion call
Faithful bowed upon their knees.
Life has emptied out, a deluge not a drought
Sacrificed for victory.
Without cause
Without thought
Without flaws
Without voice.
I am sunlight.
I am defied.
