Another Day

I wonder what you're holding back
Inside your secret cage
What do you hide for when
You're off the stage?
Which moments do you wish could be
Erased or unseen?
What is beating past the ribs
Of your broken machine?
Here we dance and dance
Among the cycle of remains
Here we burn away the hours
While youth gives way to hollow flame
Looking back do you
Remember when we were so brave?
Nothing to deny no thoughts
To exile, casualty, or grave
Grinding out the promise of our lives
While colors fade
Chase the sky for joys you
Can't attain
Still we grasp the prison bars and
Pull against the day
Calling out in misery to
Hold the wolves at bay
Here we dance and dance
Among the cycle of remains
Here we burn away the hours
While youth gives way to hollow flame
Looking back do you
Remember when we were so brave?
Nothing to deny no thoughts
To exile, casualty, or grave

Comrades in Arms

Ain't we but a pretty pair?
The passerby can only stare
Clad in black to hide from our regrets
From things we've done to the people that we've met
Snaking through the darkened streets
Kiss of love and quick defeat
Bring out the tools they sent us to deploy
This is the moment that I most enjoy
I'll see you again
After the war
I'll see you again
After the war
In a city starved too long for rain
Rivers running down your sides again
I promise it will all be over soon
Shock of thunder, then the flowers bloom
Ain't we but a pretty pair?
The passerby can only stare
Clad in black to hide from our regrets
From things we've done to the people that we've met
I'll see you again
After the war
I'll see you again
After the war
I'll see you again
After the war
I'll see you again
After the war

Killer in the Palace
04:05
|

|
A killer in the palace
His echo on the stairs
Moving through doors
Like the locks aren't really there, really there
A breath at your neck
Sends you fleeing down the hall
Clawing at your face
As you crawl against the wall, against the wall
It's too late
There's no escape
And there's nowhere you can hide
When the man whose hand holds the knife
Is the one who lives inside
It's too late
There's no escape
And there's nowhere you can hide
When the man whose hand holds the knife
Is the one who lives inside
Lives inside
Nerves laid out
Another victim on the rack
Conviction lies in tatters
And the future's turning black, it's turning black
Caress of a lover
With her teeth against your skin
Becomes a crucifixion
That breaks you from within, it's from within
It's too late
There's no escape
And there's nowhere you can hide
When the man whose hand holds the knife
Is the one who lives inside
It's too late
There's no escape
And there's nowhere you can hide
When the man whose hand holds the knife
Is the one who lives inside
Lives inside
It's too late
There's no escape
It's too late
There's no escape, there's no escape
It's too late
There's no escape
It's too late
There's no escape, there's no escape
It's too late
There's no escape
And there's nowhere you can hide
When the man whose hand holds the knife
Is the one who lives inside
It's too late
There's no escape
And there's nowhere you can hide
When the man whose hand holds the knife
Is the one who lives inside
Lives inside

The man in the back
He has my name
He turns it over and over inside his mind
Where he plays the tape
His face is hidden
Shrouded by the years
He bides his time and plays upon my weaknesses
And plays upon my fears
Gotta get out of here
Gotta get out of here
Gotta get out of here
Gotta get out of here
I get out to the street
I stretch my legs
I slide further and further down the rows of doors
Listening behind
Gotta get out of here
Gotta get out of here
Gotta get out of here
Gotta get out of here
His shadow crosses mine
Transfixed by the stopping of all time
Mirror image peeling back a grin
The image plays itself again
And now the other has gone
And now the reflection is dissolved
And now the vengeance is done
And now which one am I?
Which one am I?

Shadow
03:43
|

Ask me to stay here again
A shadow hanging upon the wall
Kiss these dead lips and hold close this dead skin in the fall
In the fall
I am the pieces cast out and left behind
Left behind
I am the creature you conjure, call, and find
So lay this old body down
And cherish seconds carved into stone
Enflame and admire and push, grasp, desire this throne
Of muscle and bone
I am the one who watches from below
From below
I am remains of what they don't want to know
And now the shaking comes
And now the trembling and aching comes
Dissolved in the sweat and the knife of regret
And the shame and the howling of what has gone
And now the hatred comes
And now the screaming and breaking comes
The kiss in the night and the killing on sight
And the darkness and secrets of what we have done
And I come to die, then this...

Against the Burning Sky
04:38
|
|||
|
Ghosts and dreamers past the broken gates
Through the white and grey
Still reaching for our escape and
They will never hold us with these chains
They will never break us with these chains
Race against the break of dawn with me
Rage against the burning sky with me
They shall know us by the fires left behind
By the eyes we left alight
That follow our paths at night and
They will never hold us with these chains
They will never break us with these chains
Race against the break of dawn with me
Rage against the burning sky with me
They will never hold us with these chains
They will never break us with these chains
They will never hold us with these chains
They will never break us with these chains
Race against the break of dawn with me
Rage against the burning sky with me
Race against the break of dawn with me
Rage against the burning sky with me

Faster
04:33

A shining city with sunken streets
Sliding in place like ghosts on a holiday
Everything is clouded like we live up in the sky
And everything is broken distance always proves too far
Each moment ends when does the next begin?
I’m fading in my skin as the world forgets
A winter closes cold on the horizon
A brittle path, escape before it falls away
I reflect another year
And soon, with my head cast down
Through lost rooms I can’t go any faster
Make it through another year
Too soon, another line is cut
Falling through I can’t go any faster
Reach into directions I can’t see
The greatest silence stretches out below
The secrets that I never have to name
The ending always, ending always, knows just where I’ll go
I reflect another year
And soon, with my head cast down
Through lost rooms I can’t go any faster
Make it through another year
Too soon, another line is cut
Falling through I can’t go any faster

Heroes
03:42
|

|
I, I wish I could swim
Like dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them for ever and everything
We can be heroes just for one day
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be heroes just for one day
We can be us just for one day
I, I can remember
Standing by the wall
And the guns shot above our heads
And we kissed as though nothing could fall
And shame was on the other side
And we can beat them for ever and ever
We can be heroes just for one day
We can be heroes just for one day...

Bandcamp is my favorite app. Without Bandcamp I would missed out on a lot of great music like Empathy Test! A wonderful album. Occasionally bombastic with nice synths and the voice of Isaac Howlett on top. Well done guys💪🏽
