Mines return with The Doctrine, a confrontational single that dissects inherited violence, moral abandonment, and the ideologies that have shaped human history from its earliest foundations to the present.
The song addresses both the perpetrators of violence and those who enable it through silence, comfort, and distance; the “safe in our domain” mindset that allows suffering to continue elsewhere. Lyrics such as “the self righteous doused in sin” and “conscience like limbs, amputated” frame a world that has learned to numb itself to its own brutality.
Biblical and historical imagery, including references to Jericho and inherited “roots,” reinforce the idea that today’s conflicts are built on ancient narratives and hierarchies, where “one’s worth [is] distinguished by birth” and “honour” is traded for power. “We will reap what we sow” stands as both a warning and an indictment.
Driven by equal parts fury and sorrow, The Doctrine rejects false histories and corrupted beliefs, with its recurring line “these pages will burn” calling for their destruction.
The Doctrine is available on all major streaming platforms via https://found.ee/thedoctorine
