A border shifts a little on a map
And someone’s hometown disappears
A quiet nod in a meeting room
Breaks a distant night in tears
We march beneath the word “what’s right”
Our hearts pulled in before we think
No time left here for doubt to grow
We fall in line on history’s brink
Shouting “freedom” at the sky
While stepping on another’s ground
By the time we see the cost
We’re too deep to turn around
We are not
Pieces on a board
We won’t die
For a story alone
With these hands
We can choose
This is not the end
We are not starving in the cold
Still we search for wars to fight
It’s not that we don’t have enough
We just refuse to yield our pride
In the name of God or flag
Hearts ignite and banners rise
But in the middle of that fire
Tell me whose tomorrow dies
Saying this is all to “protect”
But those protected stay unseen
In the shadow of grand ideas
Small, quiet lives are crushed between
We are not
Pieces on a board
We can’t live
On meaning alone
With open eyes
We must ask
Whose justice we serve
If we paused before the first step
Just a moment, just a breath
We might see across the line
Another life that fears the same death
We know that we are capable
Of reaching out instead of blame
But every time we choose not to
The morning dawns in blood again
We are not
Pieces on a board
We are still
Free to choose
Lives are heavier than words
With these hands
We can stop
The cycle before it turns

Mission of Humanity is the sixth heavy metal album by Eighty's Mind Judgement. Through steel-driven riffs and relentless structures, the album confronts systems, borders, justice, and surplus---- asking what it truly means to choose, to act, and to remain human.
Artist Profile
Eighty's Mind Judgement
Eighty's Mind Judgement (EMJ) is a Japanese heavy metal artist driven by the mission: Energizing workers around the world through heavy metal. A solo project led by a full-time corporate professional, EMJ creates heavy metal works centered on themes of work, society, and human spirituality. The project began in 2025. Musically, EMJ is rooted in the classic style of 1980s traditional heavy metal, with a strong emphasis on album-oriented production. Beyond the quality of individual tracks, each release is crafted as a cohesive concept album, with carefully designed themes and narrative structure across the entire tracklist. Influenced by reading, contemplation, and real-world corporate experience, the lyrics carry strong messages focused on social and organizational challenges, human resilience, and self-empowerment. The flagship series Corporate Warrior places the everyday worker at the center, portraying the struggles and challenges of working life through heavy metal. Notable works include Corporate Warrior, Mizuho no Tamashii, and Born of Many Lives. Full-length albums include the debut First Meltdown, followed by Edge of the Knife, Heavy Duty, Awakening of Recognition, Mighty Souls, Mission of Humanity, and We Become What We See. All tracks are available on major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, and iTunes.
