Banisher - Aftermath (official video 2023)

Banisher - Aftermath We are striking back with our new single “Aftermath“! This is the first song written and recorded with our new vocalist Jorgi Vanhees. “Aftermath“ is about selfish behaviours and attitudes within the society that we all encountered during the pandemic and the consequences of reckless decisions that people have made in these difficult times. The story presented in the song takes a very nightmarish turn. Inspired by real events. Listen on Spotify/iTunes: MERCH STORE Spotify: Lyrics: Go out to drink and party, no worries Ignore every warning that is given to you Threat emerges, acting like there’s nothing wrong Anti vax, it comes back to haunt you No restrictions, no curfew People do as they please and want right now And then - when everything goes to sh*t, Who will throw the blame? Pre-Chorus: One by one they cough Breathing’s getting tough Chorus: People divided ‘round the world ‘Cause of something they can’t see Will this ever go away Or is it the way to be? PARTIES SHOTS PEOPLE GETTING HAMMERED DRUGS FIGHTS PEOPLE GETTING SCATTERED CHAOS VIOLENCE DISOBEDIENCE RELENTLESS AFTERMATH Verse 2 The numbers are still rising, be worried Get fined every time you leave your house New variations laughing cause it’s all made up More medicine, they’ve had enough New restrictions and lockdowns Furious people start to break the law And then - when comrades start to die, When will we wake up? Pre-Chorus 2: One by one they die They keep asking why Chorus: People divided ‘round the world ‘Cause of something they can’t see Will this ever go away Or is it the way to be? PARTIES SHOTS PEOPLE GETTING HAMMERED DRUGS FIGHTS PEOPLE GETTING SCATTERED CHAOS VIOLENCE DISOBEDIENCE RELENTLESS AFTERMATH Verse 3: Nightmare from which we cannot wake This world is in chaos and it breaks Divided now by a world in disarray People are terrified and fucked It’s spreading out Will it ever have an end? Sickness Why us? If only time could be restored Before these desperate times Hope is lost PRE CLOSURE Awaken from nightmare but damage The damage has been done CLOSURE Aftermath of your reckless decisions Aftermath of desires Aftermath of a world in collision Aftermath of the selfish ones What have we done?
