Inspired by Beck's Mellow Gold and Jeff Buckley's Grace, this is the more upbeat "heavy hitter" from the Yokva EP. Gritty acoustic slide, chimey tele riffs, heavy back beat w/ a catchy melody and back up harmonies.

This song is a cry out against capitalism, and a plea for us 99%ers, all us bohemians to join together and restore love and harmony to this cold, broken planet. If anything it is a toe tapper.

a soul full of virtue
stands locked in the shade
the shadow who hurt you
burning in his glory and bakes in a blaze
so what’s he smiling for
he’s treading the water while its brought to a boil
so give me the good news
have the rulers been shamed
can we dance in the ruins of mercenary wars
and make love to the slaves
so what you crying for
we’re claiming our territory, spilling their blood
it’s just a philosophy
no there’s not much to be gained
your mercenary lost the beat
now our mission don’t feel the same
the grim slummin’ slay lords
to their gruesome we pray
tie a noose that you can’t afford
or is it by illusion that we will be saved
so what you hiding for
their shadows are murder and their eyes are the floor
it’s just philosophy
no there’s not much to be gained
your mercenary lost the beat
now our mission don’t feel the same
soldiers of virtue
rise on residuary tiles of greed
soldiers of virtue
rise on the mercenary we don’t need you (them)
soldiers of virtue
