The first single and Title track "The Fires Of Our Discontent" confronts the explosion of wildfires and far right christian nationalism across the US. Note the mention of Choice being over turned and the burning of books by Vigilantes.

lyrics

The green of the forests fade to brown

And then erupt in red

On the Hills comes a promise to be devoured

Eaten whole, nothing left

Chorus

Deep wounds and shallow breaths

The burning of books by the Vigilantes

Your Choice will be over turned
The Red and violent alarm

The landlocked is a roiling mass

where The fires of discontent rage

I can taste the bitter ashes

So I retreat within myself

Chorus

Deep wounds and shallow breaths

The Burning of books by the Vigilantes

Your choice will be over turned

The red and violent alarm

Deep wounds and shallow breaths

The burning of books by the Vigilantes

Your choice will be over turned

The Red and violent alarm
