FUCK YEAH NEW RED SPAROWES. Remember who rules you.

PS. the track names are super fucking long, so i'll paste the full track names
in here.

1. The Great Leap Forward Poured Down Upon Us One Day Like a Mighty Storm
Suddenly and Furiously Sweeping Everything Away.
2. We Stood Transfixed in Blank Devotion as Our Leader Spoke to Us, Looking Down
Upon Our Mute Faces With a Great, Raging, and Unseeing Eye.
3. Like the Howling Glory of the Darkest Winds, This Voice Was Thunder and the
Words Holy, Tangling Their Way Around Our Hearts and Clutching Our Innocent Awe.
4. A Message of Avarice Rained Down Upon Us and Carried Us Away Into False
Dreams of Endless Riches.
5. ôAnnihilate the Sparrow, That Stealer of Seed, and Our Harvests Will Abound;
We Will Watch Our Wealth Flood In.ö
6. And by Our Own Hand Did Every Last Bird Lie Silent in Their Puddles, the Air
Barren of Song as the Clouds Drifted Away. For Killing Their Greatest Enemy, the
Locusts Noisily Thanked Us and Turned Their Jaws Toward Our Crops, Swallowing
Our Greed Whole.
7. Millions Starved, and as We Became Skinnier and Skinnier, Our Leaders Became
Fatter and Fatter.
8. As That Blazing Sun Shone Down Upon Us, We Knew That True Enemy Was the Voice
of Blind Idolatry; and Only Then Did We Begin to Think for Ourselves.


Every Red Heart Shines Toward the Red Sun is an album by Red Sparowes to be
released September 2006. The album follows the story of the Great Leap Forward,
more specifically recounting the Great sparrow campaign - mass killing of
sparrows (along with rats, flies and mosquitos), that were seen as pests, and
fed on a portion of the harvest. Peasants were encouraged to bang pots and pans
to scare sparrows into continuing flight, and eventually dying from exhaustion.
Whilst the harvest of the year after the campaign was larger, there was a
massive rise in locust numbers in the late 50s, as a result of the significantly
lower population of sparrows, a major predator of the locust. This caused a
widespread famine where, between 1959 and 1961, 30 million people died of
starvation.
