In September 2010 the band reunited with new drummer Martin Davies and are currently writing material for a new album and live shows in 2011. An EP entitled "Fragmented Armageddon" will be released in June 2013.
Although they claimed not to be a "political band" — they are simply "political people" who are also musicians, they say the group's lyrics have a political message which can be interpreted as generally anti-capitalist and anarchist.
If I Can Change
One Minute Silence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I can change two, I can change four
If I can change four, I can change eight
If I can change eight, I can change
With that in mind
With that in mind
With that in mind
You're gonna wake up some day and find my words in your mouth
Inconceivable? At least hear me out
Right from wrong, wrong from right, when in doubt
Walk up to the man in the mirror and ask him
I wake up take a shit grab my shit and leave
A warm day but a cold world, so I freeze
Well surprise surprise no surprises up its sleeve
One day at a time like the rest of you
What if I wake up someday and I find myself singing your song
If I wake up with you in my face screaming 'wrong'
If I wake up with you in my face screaming 'wrong'
I will land again on my feet
If I wake up with you in my face screaming 'wrong'
I will land again on my feet
You're gonna wake up someday and be and see that light
Unconventional means take a bite
The fast train south burns twice as bright
Jump on at the next stop and hold on for dear life
I wake up take no shit talk some shit that's me
A warm heart but with cold words what I see
No authority on life but I see what I see
And forgive me but I only do reality
What if I wake up someday and I find myself singing your song
If I wake up with you in my face screaming 'wrong'
If I wake up with you in my face screaming 'wrong'
I will land again on my feet
If I wake up with you in my face screaming 'wrong'
I will land again on my feet

I have a caring personality, but my words can sometimes be harsh
No authority on life but I see what I see
I do not have all the answers, but I trust my own observations and experiences
And forgive me but I only do reality
I do not sugarcoat or distort the truth in my actions or words
