It's a dirty job: fighting for life On the frontlines While Death himself stands waiting For his prize The staff are terrified of bringing the virus home Or to the next room on the ward There's no PPE Death is keeping score There's a culture war on empathy, On science and reality, Through ignorance and fealty comes Spiraling fatalities Don't expect apologies For the denier casualties God knows, Darwin was right And I feel sick tonight Staring down Death In the name of our lives Nurse suicides are riding high 23% higher than you and I Breathless patients' pleading faces "I don't wanna die." Staring down Death In the name of our lives What good is clapping for the NHS If the government is giving money to their friends? Then cuts the funding to the rest by 30bn pounds... Oh, You anti-maskers You lock down betrayers You anti-vaxxers All Death's supporting players On a diet of bullshit from an alt-news site Empowered by online political spite Shaking my head and thinking: Azimov was right Disconnected from reality All caught up in the energy Marching on the Covid ward Like a brainless zombie hoarde You are the enemy You are the enemy You are the enemy Of those inside who are Staring down Death In the name of our live "It's all a hoax. It can't get me." If you subscribe to this philosophy Wear a mask, wash your hands and Stay the fuck away from me Go Until it takes you The respirator counts down the minutes of your life Your O2 sats are down They put a tube down You lie face down And your last words will be This can't be happening It's a hoax Why me?

Der Prosector - 'Staring Down Death'

(ARMDIG049)

We wrote this in 2020 during lockdown. The Plague took a huge bite out of all of our souls. But there was a first wave that tore through first responders and hospital staff across the world. Thousands died trying to care for the sick. The fear, stress, discomfort, long hours took their toll. Then the politization of The Plague took the fear and stress to the next level. The leaders were more interested in the plummeting markets and stuffing their pockets with all that emergency cash to care about the people. Then there was staggering mismanagement of The Plague. So many died needlessly. Hundreds of thousands died that should not have. But then, you know all this; you survived it. "Staring Down Death" is for the emergency staff who faced death on the frontlines to make us safe. The ones who survived are owed a great debt. Our glorious leaders continue to fail them, even today. Nurses are striking and we support them.
