lyrics

Forged by our leaders
Can these old seasons
Rectify the means before the cause
Stepping forth from the embers white as gold
And wrapped in crimson
The beauty's here if you see it
The music's real if you listen

Can we sow, can we grow on this island
Of dissent
Can we commit, can we admit
To something

And our heads, head for the hills
When history's darkness is revealed, please don't run
For the morning's coming
We can this world the way we need
And our generation has a song that sounds so different to everyone

We can sow, we can grow on this island
Of existence
We can commit, we can admit
To something

And freedom is a chain for us
And peace is lies they told to us
A photograph's what we've become
Our future is a beating drum
And we will hear the story now
I wish I could believe that somehow
We will persevere

And not be another casualty
I want what you have promised me
I need a little spark of hope
I want to be as white as gold

Roll Acosta Tucson, Arizona

After releasing three self-produced albums, Acosta searched Tucson to employ fellow musicians, mandolin player and violinist Kevin Frederick and drummer André Gressieux, to flesh out songs to form Roll Acosta.

They have released "The Dawn EP" in 2010, "The Dark EP" in 2011, and their first full length produced by John Vanderslice June 2012, "This Dreamt Existence".
