Besach (បិសាច) or demon, "in Khmer culture is one of several types of supernatural entities [that] are believed to exist. They make themselves known by means of inexplicable sounds or happenings. Among these phenomena are khmoc (ghosts), pret and besach (particularly nasty demons, the spirits of people who have died violent, untimely, or unnatural deaths)...."

lyrics

Backwards voice:
I bathe in it when I come to the farm and it is too hot
But I never drink the water
I know this is where the bodies were buried and left
So I don't dare drink it

Po Chean:
I followed my buffalo there
They had run away so I followed them
I didn't know people had been killed there
When I got there I saw bodies everywhere
They were tied together

Yong Sok Nheb:
He told me he was going off to study
I said, "You should go, father!"
I thought he would come back the next day
But he never came back
And in a few days the bodies were piling up at Tuol Po Chrey

Khmer Rouge soldier:
About 7am we heard the sounds of trucks approaching
When the trucks got close they announced,
"Special Unit, stand-by to carry out the Plan"

. . . .

Nuon Chea "Brother No.2":
I have no regrets.

released August 15, 2021
All music was "ethically sourced" from sound samples related to the topic of the Po Chrey massacre, or music of the culture immediately prior to the time of the Cambodian genocide. All other sounds were recorded by myself in a bedroom.
