Satyagraha - 7 Seconds

Satyagraha - 7 Seconds
3:09
Soulforce Revolution, 1989
Written by Kevin Seconds

With powerful drumming and layered guitars, this is still a powerful punk track, but Seconds' smooth anthem-ready vocals and a sing-along chorus of "na na na hey" make this a more accessible, melodic punk.  So what's that title?  Well, Satyagraha is a philosophy of determined but nonviolent resistance developed by Mahatma Gandhi, meaning "insistence on truth."  The song is a cry of despair at the state of the world and calling for divergence from the destruction.  "I wash my hands of this hate / I won't embrace this thing so blind."
