about

Following Ties is the Title track of our EP, it talks about the abuse of Native American culture in Canada and The United States. We made it the title track right as the clean water crisis happened. It’s hard to imagine that in 2020, First Nations in Canada could lack access to clean drinking water in their own territories but many do. In fact, 400 out of 618 First Nations were under
at least one water advisory between 2004 and 2014.

lyrics

We live in times as dark as be
A life of scars underneath the trees
We are to fade away into the universe
We are to connect deep within the earth
We understand that everything is meant to be
The animals in the field as free as can be
We understand the higher purpose
Nomads invade the earth

Will they walk through me
Will they break through stone
Cut through everything just to get my home
Their roots run deep beneath
We must stop all those who make them disappear
( GARRETT )
( In a million years we'll float within the sky
And we will laugh upon your sedentary lifestyle
The only way to transcend is just to disconnect
To find a way to stretch the horizon
To segregate entire nations should not be the goal spilling disease upon nomad land
Cause history is written by the conquerors never by the conquered )

Will they walk through me
Will they break through stone
Cut through everything just to get my home
Their roots run deep beneath
We must stop all those who make them disappear

Reach at the end of everything
And float within our minds
Erase the pain within
The legends never die
Open the gates to her
And look deep in her eyes
It's the rebirth of Gaïa
Nomads will survive

It's like I lived through the dreams of mother nature
It's like I found a way to run
I understand the way to go
As I wake up the morning after, underneath the burning sun
If you could hear what she knows

Between the trees beneath the fall of our own prophecy
We look alike one of a kind never one left behind
We stand aside in a world so mad and we will soon let the world be returned to nomads

Let it return to us
