Not Long 04:01

Hello says the winter How Have you been? (Funny you ask) I am still in the same old hole Locked home, speaking to walls, side of the road Silent war, red alarm ringing through the screens Stashed like a devil, the swift cold enemy Hide yourself, curfewed in a shell Just think of the elders, stuck in their cage And breath in, wait, stay, not long, they say Weeks turn into months and now the winter sets in Cunning little smile upon our wearied routine The tortoise on its back has barely moved a toe for days you saw But held your head low, low Oh come on, we nearly done Sickening From the start now, let us hear “come on” Oh well done Brace yourself again we need all the team to play Nice job, good pup, maintain your head up To keep yourself safe just to keep yourself safe We learn nothing No nothing at all

Sultan of Flies (extended) 07:32
lyrics

Oh my word I don’t see myself anywhere but I solemnly swear Making it up there is my only real care Cause there’s never been a day when I felt ok I was living in the wake of the price I paid allez Stuck upon the way, banging on the door, camisole, camisole .0001 per listen What did you expect from postmodernism? Blame it on the mainstream Calling it a big scheme Money men are listening Slit your wrists on black screen HOY Wasn’t it the game you were playing? Drowning in Tit for tat algorithm Break yourself a leg for a way in Sign in for a role, cynical, cynical I’d be like Scrolling like a craver with a clock in my mind Why can’t I, just this time Be holding up the silver, making it mine? Crowd be quiet, shine the lights I’m sipping up the praises like the belle of the ball And I says I, blessed child Bow down to your master, to the sultan of lies Refer to the back for the terms and conditions Open up your wallet for a pole position Claim yourself a front seat, aiming at the big dream, Cruising at a full speed, stinging like the swift bee HOY Isn’t it ourselves we are fooling, drooling Trapped rat with ambitions Break yourself a leg for a way in, banging on the door, camisole, camisole I’m waiting for the starters Living like it matters Breaking through the borders But it’s like a game with no supporters

The River 04:18
lyrics

I am called by the river The river is cold and I shiver As I bend down to drink its water The lights unfold bright as ever It started out as a fire and extended A weary old town and a burial wake Was it breathing underwater That got us home safe Got us home safe or cost us all faith? Face down anyway, hunted down game Where are you now Ally? And buried by the lilies there’s a stone with their names Orphan with no family it’s a cold bone grave And I fall heavy as the forest, heavy as the winter Falls on the memories of the poor old brains As they wash it down with whiskey and they wear brave face But I don’t hold like I should do, I feel it all slipping away

Riffles 05:39

Them signs and signs and signs I’ve seen them before Streams of blood and smiles Right at my door Sick of all the mud inside Down at the core Always new rounds, Can’t take no more I lay you down. And hold on to me when the sun disappears in the sail I’m losing all sense of control Crawl up with me in bed I’m tired of wrestling ghosts Down on my knees I beg Lord Here you are… Down goes up Rope and crown Left says right I feel like another Suck it up Swallow down Pass the buck I go undercover¬

Choirs of Nemesis 04:30
lyrics

Run away Say no more Sail and pray Cold old war Underway I reflect Hopeful still Mother hear my call How far away Fade out To grey Sword Out Trembling arm Hold on Light dawns Fleeting Shapes and sounds Dance around Grow close Turn in circles Caught off guard See them wake now Dark blaze Setting off Fire spreads Feel it burning down All around, everywhere Silhouettes Choirs of Nemesis Oh my god it’s the beckoning bells Oozing with the screaming of an heathenish spell Pulse beating idled, thickening smell Drowning in the ashes of the murky cold rain

Invisibilia 05:30
lyrics
buy track
My brother lays, in a corner, disaster I feel no more, the pain is sore Control It’s burning down the border, you say It’s not here anyway The smell of smoke Is filling our nose And I’ve seen it all, chokes on the floor The phones, moans, calls Won’t you ever fucking fold And I’ve seen it crawl, It’s more than more, then more… My sister lays In a folder, for later We feel no more, the pain is sore It happened somewhere else, as it always does The smell of smoke, is killing us all And I’ve seen it all, chokes on the floor The phones, moans, calls Won’t you ever fucking fold And I’ve seen it crawl, It’s more than more, then more…
