I had been looking into WN activism off-and-on for years, but always found something that held me back. During the last of those "on" times the Internet offered up one of those annoying, uninvited "You Might Also Like" links. This one looked different so I clicked on it and I was treated to my first experience of Saga singing "Ode to a Dying People". I was blown away on a variety of levels. I sampled a variety of her music on YouTube and decided I had to have some of her albums...
...I would hope that eventually someone in the cause, even if not the NA, would embrace music as a medium for the cause. Of course, care would have to be taken to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Saga is talented and a role model for many. I prefer her as a natural brunette. She has a Web site, but it doesn't look very active:

It's a shame that the White resistance music scene was so thoroughly dominated by the raucous skinhead "Oi" (what Alexander Noble calls "punk"). The best music from that genre will last and the rest won't. Music will reemerge, probably underground, spread by social media and will play a vital role with the younger White generations in organizing their own people. It will have a wider appeal than did Resistance Records' mostly Skinhead market. If Saga's cover of
Ode To A Dying People doesn't resonate with young Whites, something is wrong with them. Maybe if Taylor Swift would sing it on a music video?
Ode To A Dying People
Eyes shining bright with unspilt tears,
Thinking about all these wasted years.
Everything worth living for is gone,
Brother, I find it hard to keep fighting on.
Falling down towards the abyss,
The reaper embraces me with his kiss;
It makes me want to refuse to care,
To watch this all unfold - too much to bear.
If this is the way it ends -
If this is the way my race ends...
If this is the way it ends - I can't bear to witness
Disease encroaching on all I hold dear,
Somehow I gotta get my soul outta here.
Heart of agony, faint burning hope,
I'm finding it hard to try to cope...
Because liars own the world with conquering poise,
In a wasteland of meaningless noise;
We don't stand a chance with dormant pride,
The heroes of our race have already died...
If this is the way it ends - if this is the way my race ends...
If this is the way it ends - I can't bear to witness...
To imagine it has all come down to this,
Apathy and suicidal bliss...
It's all over except for the cryin',
With a whimper instead of the roar of a lion...
The greatest race to ever walk the earth,
Dying a slow death with insane mirth,
The tomb has been prepared, our race betrayed,
White man, fight the flight towards the grave...
If this is the way it ends - if this is the way my race ends...
If this is the way it ends - I can't bear to witness...
If this is the way it ends - if this is the way my race ends...
If this is the way it ends - I can't bear to witness...
Don't let it end this way,
Don't let it end this way,
Don't let it end this way, I can't bear to witness...
