they divide us to rule us. brecht knew it in 1931. his words still prove it today.

„solidarity“ is a hymn of defiance and a reckoning with a labor tradition built on brecht and eisler’s „solidaritätslied“, written in 1931, yet never losing its relevance. as the closing track of the album it is the final word after the struggles and the betrayal, it strips that source back to its structural core: who owns the earth, who manufactures division, who profits from the split, and rebuilds it as a modern ebm anthem, sung in english, for the world.
the driving force behind the lyrics of „solidarity“ is the fact that brecht’s arguments land with equal precision today. as crises deepen and societies fracture into opposing camps, the same mechanism keeps repeating: division as an instrument of control, discord as a product of power. the song was written during the great depression. it did not age. that is not a compliment to the present.
at its core, this track is about labor and power. about division as the master’s instrument, not an accident, not a natural state. it’s for everyone who has been told their enemy stands next to them on the factory floor. rise. hold the line. never forget it. forward.
