Revival 03:36
lyrics
buy track
Revival Breathe deep, free air Spread tall, reach, prepare Breed win, grow and share Respect strength, protect your friend Wake up- it’s time for your heart to pump Look around the room, empty cans and stale perfume Tremble to your feet, collapse in a heap Hang a million souls with your flawed belief Achieve, invest, learn to succeed Defend, prevent, control, deceive Condemn, attack, deface, demean Distress the children, hide and seek Enough- when did hate become your crutch? The ranting hollow looks, a desperate search for love? No life is spared, from your worldly chair, Your mothers shame, every key that’s pressed.

Lowdown 05:21
lyrics
buy track
Low Down Staring through the window pain, grated nerves, the happy face. Conflicting thoughts I can’t express, an empty feeling, man possessed. I don’t know why you would call, this waste of life, stuck on pause. Play through some old files, bring back the good times. Take another hundred sips, and give my head a further twist. Party ends, the place is dry, becomes more lonely, years go by. Wish these tunes could bring you back, The pain of heartbreak burns, and brings me down. Contented looks All those faces Feel for me Scream for me A rare flash of lucidity Kind words based in sympathy Shame and anger consume me The knife cuts the rotten core from me Play through some old files, bring back the good times. Take another hundred sips, and give my head a further twist. Party ends, the place is dry, becomes more lonely, years go by. I know these tunes won’t bring you back, The pain of heartbreak burns, and brings me down. Low down Trapped, where you belong Bound, by your hate-filled heart Weep against the storms rage Beg for forgiveness, I enjoy your pain Play through some old files, bring back the good times. Take another hundred sips, and give my head a further twist. I know these tunes won’t bring you back, The pain of heartbreak burns, and brings me down.

We are the Light 05:29
lyrics
buy track
We are the Light Stay with me when the sun goes down, The leaves turned red, our hearts are bound, We'll live forever, nothing can change, We're safe in our hovel, keep the world at bay. The time passed so quickly, like our love, Our dreams are crumbling, along with the walls I could have done better, I'll pass you the blame We dull our senses and trap our pain. We deserve to own him, unscrew his mind, put it out on display, The baying mob demand, your fear, love, and soul, Take the cure. Take the cure. Take care. We are the light, we have the best life, The world, the future are ours! Happiness is all around us, We love and we'll grow and succeed. I watched you closely, through the years, My camera sweating through the pain of your tears, I could have helped you, I saw it go wrong, But the ratings and pay cheques calmed my tongue. I'm glad that we own you, it's endless fun, I play with your feelings, the mob get what they want, The light in your life, now faded and stained You were the light, now you're nothing, know your place! We float your feelings, they’re ours to sell, throw your inhibitions away, My dear love demands, your fear, hope, and soul, Take the cure. Take the cure. Take care. You are not the light, your world is mine, You barely exist, you are nothing, I'll take what's mine and you will obey... child, My world owes you nothing. Grief through the years, Plain for all to see, There was always you, Flawed, Fractured, Fragile... Screwed!

Dream is gone 04:55
lyrics
buy track
Dream is gone Show me to the hopeless poor, Let the people share forbidden thoughts. Nostalgic for a time long gone, Utopia, that never was. Seize control, the drunken mind, Inject raw hatred, swell their pride Dreaming of bigger things, Whilst blaming you for my failings. My heart was young Where did you go? Left to the dogs My body mauled Don’t raise your hand to me Melt your skin in the dessert heat Swirling sands confuse your instincts Your dream is gone, forget your worries Bow your head, succumb to me, Accept your inferiority, Enforce my ideals, kill your views, Someone else’s family values Create some chaos, divide and rule, Apply control, command the news Respect our strength, we need your love, Reject your hope, you belong to us My hatred formed A nation mourns Weep to your hands more pain to come Don’t raise your hand to me Melt your skin in the dessert heat Swirling sands confuse your instincts Your dream is gone, forget your worries

Empire 04:42
lyrics

Empire of order Take a crazy summer ride, California glints in your eyes, Open-top, take in the breeze, dumb blond between your knees Then you, find a crack to peer through, Blurred truth, reality it cuts through. You better get a handle on this Ready the troops, prepare the abyss Sink the truth, the prying minds Accept a tsunami of deception and lies Fear on main street, the unseen eyes, ghost filled towns the life passed by Our promised land, our fathers dream, return to dust the zero's beat And you, you will find your own way, Stay true, play them at their own game. You better get a handle on this Ready the troops, prepare the abyss Sink the truth, the prying minds Accept a tsunami of deception and lies You start to suspect, your friends and foe You long for redemption, martial law and control Regret your silence as they gather in strength The empire of order, the angels of death Trust the face, the caring eyes, heartfelt gestures, a new alliance, your dreams were sold with your beliefs, clutch your head in both hands, fall to your knees (predicted) Now you, you must go your own way, Find truth, the bankers murderous profit You better get a handle on this Ready the troops, prepare the abyss Sink the truth with the prying minds Accept a tsunami of deception and lies You start to suspect, your friends and foe You long for redemption, martial law and control Regret your silence as they gather in strength The empire of order, the angels of death

From the start 03:31
lyrics

From the Start Bruised by lust and misery No chance for self-discovery You left me, crying for connection Desperate, begging for affection Our time ran dry in loves dim wake Our bodies drown, unspoken hate Cross the void, me and you Have to shake the summertime blues Take it from the start Without head nor heart They can never know Our true resolve Force them to take aim Enter our end game Take my hand and dance Through this vile landscape Winter crystals on the trees Shine their light on my misery Seasons pass, the years flow by Our love still trapped beneath the ice My body longs to fan the flames Ignite the lust that still remains I need you here you are my love Attend to me, and feel my wrath Sometimes, I wonder Back of my car with you Dark clouds, loud thunder Your thoughts turn deepest blue From the start, from the start I was building my empire You were the jewel Not to be removed From the start, from the start, I was fencing your lifestyle Protecting our world, The best way I knew. Take it from the start Without head nor heart They can never know Our true resolve. Force them to take aim Enter our end game Take my hand and dance Through this vile landscape

Jolly Roger 03:00
lyrics

Jolly Roger Dancing with one hand, on your knees Your mum calls you downstairs, for your tea Fallen behind, by 20 years at least Taking a break from Call of Duty Laughing with kids, the sick things you've seen To stupid to get pain and suffering Your mouth makes you right, but you have health needs Kill your old Nan if she disagrees 40 years old, and nothings happening Scared to let go of mother's apron strings Loud in the mouth, heart of a mouse Retreat from the battle, behind the couch Feeling the pain of this destructive tumor Bigger each day, your aggressive humor I'll get you back, regain my battered honor Better fear the boys, raise the Jolly Roger A burst of laughter, fills the showers Your tiny manhood shriveled like a prawn A flash of anger, on the mountain You disguise your bloody uniform Raise the banner, I have the answer And everyone else is plainly wrong Reflective hour, not in my power It's clear I'm the messenger of God

Nightshade 05:30
lyrics

Darkness Falls Have to check the phone Need to comb that feed Long to hear the rumours Maybe then I'll eat My head is spinning Think I've lost my way See the mayhem begin As they set the stage Goal diggers, dig Hope to god I win big Let destiny guide you Hold your blinkers fixed Don't push it too hard Give them something they want Separate life, different dreams Keep them in the dark Take a flame to the hill And draw them all in Give the wild minds shelter from the dangers within Light a path for the blind Lose a screw from your mind Waste a lifetime searching Where there's nothing to find Smash your head with that phone Put my foot through that screen You'll be the subject of rumours When your face isn't seen Friends and family forgotten Await your return Give your time back to this life Leave confusion to them Emptiness fills your soul A creeping darkness falls Grasping, begging for warmth You already had love Take your head from those books They're doing you no good Leave the stuff you don't want And find some time for us.

MWV featuring Sunprobe - Turnaround (feat. Sunprobe) 04:38
lyrics
buy track
I was just fourteen When I took your hand Cherry blossom dream, I never understand Desperate for affection Longing for your touch Love without emotion Hidden in the woods Waiting for the weekend Headed for a fall Me, a trembling insect You, you’re ten feet tall Fate is yet to delve, us A happy hand I tell myself it’s near, but It never lands Something tells you to think again Your raging hurt the beads of sweat The strobing images burn your head The crucking Ravens, falling down, dead Turnaround, Turnaround, Turnaround, Turnaround, go Turnaround, Turnaround, Turnaround, Turnaround, just go Get out my life, I don’t want you around I don’t need the pain, or the bitching about This lonely state, your control lands A blackened row, don’t turnaround So where to now I need the plan Too many voices My head can’t stand Something tells you to think again Your raging hurt the beads of sweat The strobing images burn your head The crucking Ravens, falling down, dead Turnaround, Turnaround, Turnaround, Turnaround, go Turnaround, Turnaround, Turnaround, Turnaround, just go
