about

More than a call to arms, this is a 5 minute battle cry that demands you join the war for trans rights. With musical elements of Gorgoroth, it refuses to let you go, piling epic riff on epic riff. 55 years later, the screams of Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P Johnson resound just as loudly as they are joined by Daughter’s brutality.

lyrics

55 YEARS
The battle has not been won
55 YEARS
The gains can be undone
We do not have a choice
But join the fight or die
They’re coming for us, siblings
So raise your battle cry

Arise, daughters of Marsha!
Lend your voice to the throng
You may think us crazy
But that don’t make us wrong

You hear her call
Your strength will be her fist
You hear her call
You will not be dismissed
We will be your armor
And we will be your shield
We will be the Phalanx
That will refuse to yield

Arise, daughters of Marsha!
Lend your voice to the throng
You may think us crazy
But that don’t make us wrong

Arise, daughters of Marsha!
Lend your voice to the throng
You may think us crazy
But that don’t make us wrong

I have been beaten, I have had my nose broken, I have been thrown in jail, I have lost my job, I have lost my apartment for gay liberation and you all treat me this way, what the fuck’s wrong with you all? Think about that!
