The Revolution is ON by HRH Gregory Alive

This track was recorded last week in a secret location for
the forth coming RMEN1 project....

HRH Gregory Alive felt that it was important that this track b available now for the download due to the current state of the world.

New World Order Come UNDONE!


Download while u are still free

I think my music invokes the past, without trying to rip it off too blatantly

the romancing of history is interesting to me. I really hate political bullshit

LONG AGO, I tried to pursue a revolutionary stance in my music, but, being middle-class whitey, it just came out too, I dunno, trite? Fake? Lenny-Kravitzian?

like these blistering social observations:

"Just outside a little boy died
from a gang that did a drive by
he didn't know what hit him so hard
he just saw his brains on the curb side

and it's so easy to see in the news today
we're just one step away from L.A.
I don't wanna see my world get blown away
but we're just one step away from L.A."

-- --
Or, oh, wait, it gets just SOOO much deeper:
-- --

"There comes a time when you can't take it no more
the people around you are talking world war
the man beside you is starving to death
there's a girl with two kids and the daddy has left

Little boy, don't you know who I am
I'm the one who got you into this jam
I know that we did all we could
but the people before us weren't as good"

OH, I just CRINGE at the sight of those lyrics. They were horrible...

Daym that's COLD.


I had an inspiration from Dreafirstborn (papercrayon) to make a revolution song. It came out dark & loud. I probably will put it out on my site sooner or later. I even used smples of his song "Im Alive" in it.

here are the lyrics to this exprience


the time is come the revolution is on
u cant resist the politics of the dawn
if u want to survive this genicide
decontaminate your mind

the ones who are leading u are in design
to inslave you
your being held hostage and u don't even know it

this is not baghdad

this is going on in your back yard
you can stand up and fight or take it in the ass

the time is come the revolution is on
u cant resist the politics of the dawn

satanist there on the rise
are u unaware
dont u truely know
that every breath u take
every move u make
there watching you

big brother has a lion in his pocket
and he is lusting 4 you
this is going on right now dont u see it
quick quick turn off the computer
turn on the television
live on CNN your execution

i hear what your saying man, political issues aren't for everyone. as far as the romancing of history, history also includes the here and now. todays presence is tommorrows history.

I thought that it was really good. in a way i thought that his music was alot better than mines. Thats when i told him that he should let as many people hear his music. Hey Iziah i still want to cover I wish. smile"

DUDE you're totally ruining the mystique we all had built up over the C9M! You need to respond like this:

"oh, exactly, and these kind of numbers can't be tracked on a day-to-day basis".

The Video for "Burning Up" is coming Soon.

The DownLoad Society is looking forward to sharing this experience with you.

p.s. More News... DreamFirstBorn, Jew just shot another film short in New York City recently and it is said that this experience will be part of the DVD Experience that was written about earlier. There is a Title but at this time the people involved are being "quiet" about the project. thank you to Peanut Pony for the advance scoop on this experience.
