about

Written and recorded within 24 hours after reading reports of the death of a civil rights activist in Charlottesville, USA, at the hands of an alleged far-right neo-Nazi white supremacist. Another 19 people were injured in this act of home-grown terrorism. People who challenge the aggressive stance of these groups, or indeed the current President of the USA, are regularly sneered at as 'snowflakes' and 'losers'. We shall see.

The money from any sales of this song will be donated to the C-Ville Victim Relief GoFundMe campaign:

lyrics

A Snowflake's Chance In Hell
©Martin Craig, 13.08.2017

They say a snowflake
Won't stand a chance in Hell
Feel like a snowflake
Among the flames of Hell
And it's a heartache
A sorry tale to tell

They call us snowflakes
For speaking truth to hate
Losers and snowflakes
For showing love to hate
Hate's on the horizon
We don't have time to wait

A lot of snowflakes
Will make a blizzard grow
Millions of snowflakes
Will make that blizzard grow
Put out those hellfires
Under a ton of snow

This is the moment
For getting off the fence
This is that moment
To get down off the fence
It's not for profit
It's not for recompense

So be a snowflake
Put out the fires of hate
Yeah be a snowflake
Put out the fires of hate
We are the blizzard
So please don't hesitate.
