I'm on fire
First day of the new empire
Through smoke all I can see
Is your bloodshot eyes staring back a me
There's no gold
Pure enough for your greedy soul
You can't deliver me
I'm a sinner's son
Pure blasphemy
There's no need to pretend
This is your dead end
This is where i thrive
All the sheep are in fear
As the wolf comes near
Never felt more alive
I'm on fire
Day two in the new empire
Through the rubble I can hear
A siren song, a useless prayer
There's no gate
High enough to escape your fate
You can't deliver me
I'm the counterpart
I'm the enemy
Flee from the light into the shade
The moon will rise but it's too late
You can't deliver me
I'm a sinner's son
Pure blasphemy
For the crown your soul's been sold
Fool's gold
The tide is taking it over
But I feel nothing at all
The tide is taking me closer
I'm on fire
Last day of my new empire
And now i can clearly see
This world was not ready for me

You Know It

Snake eyes, black ties
We run this town and you know it
Rough hands, no chance
I’m a stubborn lad so don’t push it
Don’t come-a knockin’ with sticks and stones
We’ve had our share of broken bones
We’ve seen, what it does to people like us
We have been through everything your god has declared sin
Still here. We’re still right here
What good is a heart of gold when you taste the dirt, when you breathe the cold
You’ll see, what we do to people like you
It’s like a bird of prey, in almost every way
It reigns down when you’d least expect
It’s like a poison sting
You know the pain they bring but the cure is worse, so just let it sink
It’s like a dog astray, roaming night and day
You fear the eyes more than the teeth. But there’s a cure for it
Bring gas and a lighter, kid
And let the flames gnaw at your feet
We run this town and you know it

Bright Light

Patch me up so I can sing of love I’ve lost and love I bring
This town will see the light when it goes up in flames tonight
Grab the flint and a hipflask
Leave the gun, bring a gasmask
Lost my soul to the dark night
Found my love in the bright light
Fill your lungs with smoke, and the fragrance of burnt oak
Cast out like a common plague
Keeps you on edge, keeps you awake
Hiding in the shade, but it’s way too late
And the ground beneath your feet, caves in and shows what’s underneath
I can smell the sulphur on your dress
It’s over soon, but not quite painless
Tell me you’ll vouch for it
Like you mean it, like you mean it
This is where the match is lit
I can feel it, I can feel it
Hands soaked in gasoline
Like they’ve always been, they have always been
This hell is home to me and hell is all you’ll see

Smuggler's Soul
02:53

I was raised with the snakes
Fought through hardship and mistakes
Sold my soul for hope, glitter and gold, a safe haven away from the cold
Let go of all you know
Hear me o father I’m here to confess
I need a way out of this mess
And I know you hesitate
The guilt has come but I’m too late
And I’ve always been a faithless man
Save me and you’ll see there is more than a smuggler in me
Cause I know down below there is much more than just blood and bones
Fear me o father the shadows have come
You can pray for my sins but the damage is done
And I know you carry hate
The guilt has come but I’m too late
And I’ll never see the dawn of men
Let go of all you know
But there is a difference between you and me
You’re building walls while I’m breaking free

Howls in the distance
They found a body but no sign of resistance
Get out of town, head for the sea where they won’t find us
They won’t find me
Lights in the night
A good cause but a useless fight
Worn out like a rusty key
Go ahead young gun, underestimate me
And I’ve learned not to get burned
Jump ship before the tide turns
I took a leap of faith, but it’s a race against the sun
Oh Johnny boy the night will come
To my surprise we’re alive
I came from the underground and I know the taste, I know the sound
Unlike they said not dead yet
And in time I see this place in a higher realm when it’s set ablaze
Don’t run until the job’s done
I know that talk is cheap, but it is gold when it is sung
Oh Johnny boy the night is young
I am not a lost soul, I was born to be a relic
And I’m ready, I’m ready
Pass the gun if you don’t know how to use it
Keep it steady, keep it steady
And I know we are outa luck so grab a glass and fill it up
Find peace in the mess we’re in ‘cause where I end, you begin

Have only listened to the first three tracks so far. Somehow the indie/grunge/funereal/doom elements meld together well. Well worth a listen! 😁 Update - couldn't stop listening. No weak tracks. Music that won't stand still, but holds up well throughout. My favourite non-electronic release for some time. Thanks so much for the code! 😎
