The General Strike - Pugon (2016) / Filipino blues rock
Youtube: https://youtu.be/PE2zGYX4QTw
This song was played in the ending credits of the #HorrorMovie #Nocebo. The entire album slaps and it’s all about the experiences and suffering of workers and labourers. I’ll post the translation in a bit since there’s a word count limit on Mastodon.

“Pugon” (Furnace)
Bars in the windows
A lock on the door
Not criminal
But worse than a prisoner
They are workers
Deliberately caged
Amidst hardship and hunger, suffering and pain
Until one day, befell in tragedy

@alternativenation
Making a living but instead dying in living
in this ablazing “box” while imprisoned and buried
They turned into ashes inside a factory that became a “furnace”
