    Rites of Hadda - Witchpunk

    This third issue is our most ecological release yet with the packaging on post consumer recycled cardboard and vegan and plastic free, using a cork stopper to hold the CD in place.

    Rather than create a market for the further plastic of new CD's we have collected unwanted and unused CD-r's and burnt the reissue ourselves and coupled it with the most ecological packaging possible.

    Songs recorded and produced at Dissident Sound Industry (Tottenham) by Tom Shot! (2018)

    All songs written by Rites of Hadda except 'Queen Wasp' by Pilar Awa and Rites of Hadda.

My skin cracks from the blow A thirteenth blow just to show What they think I should know I'm bleeding, bruised, on the floor Still the copper goes for more To thrash my body crush my core A battle since the dawn of power Passionate trauma by the hour Society tastes so fucking sour But our resolve is strong They feed it with their constant wrongs I know the revolution will be long But I believe in revolution!

Raven 03:26
Force sexless of nothing Envelope me in your void Surround me with your blackness Encompass this dark world Esoteric happening Love of the crone reborn Flying through black ether Living from known scorn The yew calls this darkness love Oak shines in the rain Crowing from another realm This underworld's refrain

Is the point of life just to have more things To earn more cash get super thin buy the next TV, the right Asian food Feed the fads, feel anew. Is the point of life to drift aimlessly Down the tow path with the family Dress the kids in the latest threads Then drown the puppies ripped from their beds Is the point of life just to have more fun Keep on drinking girl fuck everyone Keep the vomit down although that seems absurd Keep trudging through, don't speak a word What am I looking for in all this fun What am I looking for on the canal with Mum TV is shit and makes me scream I've starved myself and shaved pristine. What are we looking for in the latest car As we drive about poisoning the stars Is this the peak of it our time here Buying things because we're lost in fear Created woes are now our everyday As we take the kids to the park to play Our thoughts are locked by those who know the game Those who work against us, with no shame. Keep buying things don't think beyond Keep buying things and you'll belong Keep buying things you dunno why Keep buying things that make you cry Keep buying things that make you coo Keep buying things that manipulate you Our thoughts are boxed our thoughts are holed By corporate greed and those in the know It doesn't pay if we search for truth In the soil we walk on, in horn and hoof It doesn't pay if we look around At all her nature at the profound Then you're lost in the world unknown Despatched departed dismissed as stoned Keep buying things don't think beyond Keep buying things and you'll belong Keep buying things you dunno why Keep buying things that make you cry Keep buying things that make you coo Keep buying things that manipulate you

Queen Wasp 03:50
Fierce protectress, big eyes Watching over me Understands the depth of my soul Here at the edge of society Many cast her aside Afraid of the pain Many cast her aside Afraid of the poison that heals Fierce protectress, big eyes Watching over you and me Understands the depth of our souls Here at the edge of reality Many cast her aside Afraid of the pain Many cast her aside Afraid of the poison that heals But it's the poison that heals Bringer of wind Bringer of power Bringer of air Bringer of fire Bringer of wind Bringer of power Bringer of air Bringer of fire Fire in her temper Fire in her sting Fire in her temper Fire she brings Fire in her temper Fire in her sting Fire in her temper Fire she brings Fire fire!

Bring me the magick Throw me a line Show me once more A sick way to shine Promise the world Expect nothing flat Circles of hurt Spirals spin flat Give me the burn Ignite my desire Deliver me peace From inside this pyre Face creased with pain Alone in the dark Waiting for light The fire to spark Knowing it's true Help me to fake This peace inside As I drown in this lake This peace inside As I drown in this lake This peace This lake

Just like the revolution And at Bharat's heed I can feel you slipping Slipping away from me The violence in our fucking The police building's on fire Once delivered great things Now waned to desire The bottom has fallen completely From our future plans Of anal sex in the tops of trees Chewing the dick off the man Drive to change the inside Killed by society Killed by conservatism Again we're on our knees The revolution and my love Are they slipping away from me The circus trucks may be vandalised But statism vandalised me The revolution and my love Are they slipping away from me The circus trucks may be vandalised Statism vandalised me me me me!

The orchids burn and the juices flow Seering my abdomen My cries aglow From the wounds in my groin The mounds of my pleasure My prahna ebbs I have lost what I treasure Supine and vulnerable Like at no other time The chill through the window Brings hope alive The death god breezes past me And leaves to the fool anew And from the inside Chattering louder grew Face down in the abyss With no destination vision I fear I've seen what I'm too become Initiation into the final ritual Five aspects Acquisitions lived This path I know Will take more than I can give
