ONCE HUMAN starting the new year with a massive new tune - 'ERASURE' marks the fourth single from the upcoming new studio album 'SCAR WEAVER' (hitting the streets on Feb. 11th 2022).


“Erasure is a song about blood diamonds. It's about the clear-cut, horrific message that a rock is worth more than a life to their producers. Although today there are human rights laws and regulations that have eased the violent unearthing of these stones, it is still happening in certain parts of the world. My heart broke as I dove into the meaning of why it's called a "blood diamond", and I felt compelled to tell its story.” – Lauren Hart

Pieced together over the last two years, ONCE HUMAN’s upcoming album 'SCAR WEAVER' represents a massive step forward for the band. Blessed (or perhaps cursed) with plenty of additional time during last year’s lockdown situation, the band have been able to refine and redefine their sound, inspired by a sudden creative surge from latest recruit Max Karon.

Lyrics (by Lauren Hart):
Erasure
From cradle to the grave
You gave your life

Red ochre drapes the fallen soldiers
Left between a rock and a hard place to lie
Way before their time
Gutters in the gold, bleak
Where mothers bled
And the smell of death is nostalgia
Cold, where freedom never rings
But the rings are forever

A bullet’s enough to keep their mouth shut
Taken, cut
Face in the dirt
Carved up to serve the eye
And what alone separates a child from stone?
One’s dug up, the other’s in the ground to die

All for blood, bones, power, lust
Ravenous, your black hole mind
Until your ominous world collides
Blood, bones, power, lust
Ravenous, your black hole mind
Until your ominous world collides

Underground, not a sound escapes
And the only way out is down
Like a tear
Vanity drained from a dirt vein
Clean slate
No stain, the rock remains crystal clear

Red in pieces
Red in pieces

All for blood, bones, power, lust
Ravenous, your black hole mind
Until your ominous world collides
Blood, bones, power, lust
Ravenous, your black hole mind
Until your ominous world collides

Cradle to grave
A bullet’s enough to keep their mouth shut
If they need a reminder
Gem in the rough
You make it clear-cut
It’s worth more than a life
A bullet’s enough to keep their eyes shut
Rocks in their mouths
You’re better off like a diamond
Scattered in the ground

Red in pieces
Red in pieces

Erasure
From cradle to the grave, you gave your life
Amnesia
Gold and grandeur ate away at your mind
Erasure, Amnesia
Erasure
From cradle to the grave, you gave your life
