about

Released in December 1989 on Red Sun Records, "Admit One" was well received in the US and across Europe, and 25 years later, the eight original songs remain uncannily relevant.

lyrics

The man of the past
Sporting musket and arrows
Drew decisions on the battlefield
Things to be were revealed
 
Uncommon laws for a common cause
 
To save the ground upon which they walked
Was the essence of their existence
To move out West or save North from South
They killed their brothers with devoted persistence
 
Playing with fire
Or throwing stones
Becomes a game of power
To overthrow
Pack up the tribe
Start the crusade
March through the streets
Foreign banners wave
 
The man of the present
Has the past to live down
To compensate for early mistakes
He has to detonate in the underground
 
The tremble and quake was our own mistake
 
Revolutionary leaders
And forgotten sons
Take the blame for the nation
In the battle not won
Imperial powers
Place a lock on the tomb
The shame of the nation
The death of their home
 
The man of the future
Laughs at that which has been
While he picks through the rubble and dirt
Immune to the loss and hurt
 
Find unwelcome treasures from the drastic measures
 
Chivalry and valor are long since dead
The stuff of legends most easily ignored
Opposing only to carry on tradition
The battle becomes a pastime of the bored
