War & Pierce - "Amen"

War & Pierce is the collaboration of Los Angeles musicians Sunny War and Chris Pierce. The project combines all the styles both artists have played in: roots, soul, blues, and the underground punk scene. "Amen" was written in 2017 after the car attack in Charlottesville, where a car drove into a crowd protesting white supremacy, killing Heather Heyer and injuring nineteen others. The opening line of “Lost children, filled with hate. Along the path did they lose their way" sets the tone for the song, which is filled with soul and love despite the horrific inspiration.
