Young Hearts Fail - Automatic - Dedicated to Ian Curtis 03:46
lyrics
buy track
We've been standing there for a while We saw the day change into night Heroes of a past out of sight, That could mislead anyone... ... And all that falls in the gap A truth so hard to realise You've been surrounded by idiots Something deep in you never dies You can't forget though you try At every switch of your mood Sometimes you believe you... can reach But an alarm rings in your soul All roads lead to some...-where indeed Such a soul ! Is it you ? Is it you ? Is it you ? Is it you ? Along your way out of their gang Mesmerizing eyes watching you Never left alone anymore But this time... Is it you ? Is it you ? Is it you ? Is it you ? ... Monitoring fools all day long Challenging every newcomer Taking care of sheeps led by fear Once again... ... Is it you ? Is it you ? Is it you ? Is it you ? Is it you ? Is it you ? Is it you ? Is it you ? Is it you ? Is it you ? Is it you ? Is it you ? ... A door open wide just for you Will you leave the mass in the end ? There's no coming back from this room Hesitations vanishing... Is it you ? Is it you ? Is it you ? Sometimes when you get the reward When joy makes you confide in them Shouldn't drop any of your keys... Who will find the right clue ? Is it you ? Is it you ? Is it you ? Is it you ?

lyrics

Hitting a new road, in a moonless night You'll never give up, even when they block the way A frame so perfect, for such a defect Would be so soothing, to have a rest before the end To be the first king, then made a servant Always harking back, to that time of free comfort Bloodthirsty madness, over a best friend Prime intelligence, that couldn't be delivered A midnight question, till the gates of dawn But whom do you ask, as the candle's almost off? One trajectory, for so many doors Satellite of hell, searching for the saving grace Trya focus on the most important The latest battle, saving someone else's soul Showing loyalty, to those caught by pain Some kick back with you, as soon as you turn your eyes - : § : - When all things get dark, misreading the signs Poisonous ideas, you should get... rid of Two furious armies, fighting each other Trying hard to find, predictions on the long term Earning your own wings, from rags to riches You carried the weight, all but the life you planned first Hidden enemies, nibbling at your days Ornery liars, in their predicament rooms An impetus to some reliability Tempering the dream, with a new reality Thorny ways into despicable vanity Gambits all the day, will we know the full story? A broken chain's noise, that got out on their weakness Cheating all the time, they squeeze you until you're down Some victims look out, while others prefer to wait If this is God's will, another chance - a better day

Leigh Smith - Desolation - Dedicated to Ian Curtis 02:40
lyrics

DESOLATION: Who controls my narrative? Who withheld my final word? Who made money off my back? Who chose those words carved in stone? Creator became destroyer. Creative/ Destructive. I saw desolation. I became desolation. Desolation/ Relevation. Desolation/ Relevation. I had to go to remain. Years pass but my art grows in stature. Body became ash and smoke. Body of work endures. Your bodies grow old. I saw the darkness. I became dark to reach the light. They all know to invoke my name now. Desolation/ Relevation. Desolation/ Relevation. Everyone’s writing books. Tomb tomes. But my words were written first. Why did they turn so light? Better to be heavy and deep. Why does my voice still be heard? Lines of pretenders. Dressed in black and grey. Desolation/ Relevation. Desolation/ Relevation. Can’t unseat me from my throne of bones. My free soul is mine alone. It can’t be packaged or sold. Soulless scavengers scramble in my footsteps. Tune in to the horror news every day. My words and songs predicted the desolation. Degrading dehumanisations. This is pure and true desolation. Desolation/ Relevation. Desolation/ Relevation.

lyrics

- : § : - VS 1 Just recall the time... we spoke together Occasions for hope, life brings forever Different visions... that pushed me away Good friends now vanished, there's no back again What's in the main plan? Let's clear illusions! Having deeper chat, with architects of time... From normality as a definition, To spectacular excess of delegation - : § : - RF 1 A new atmosphere where all seems unclear A too small universe, still working for someone else Wondering what's left when the chimes will end Priceless memory... shining forever - : § : - VS 2 Do you remember all those years now gone? Covering mirrors won't prevent a break, So many warnings... so few attention Winds always can change - and so people do A voice in the distance... a smile in the air... The moment's welcoming ideas on a future so fair Back on the day we were... like fingers of one hand, But now... dispersed, just like grains of sand - : § : - BG A branch of the tree... hiding another All ships on the sea... new lands on the way - : § : - VS 3 Keeping record of... all things that are done You wanna get back... things forever gone Jealousness on talent but never on hard work Sinking into fiction and missing destiny - : § : - RF 2 How can it be that I find you lying on the floor? Now slammed in your face, what was once an open door... They'll never understand when you feel a need to share Some priceless memory ... shining forever - : § : - RF 3 All insights are blurred - how to find the clue? Let's open the box, the source of it all, Countdown has begun - but where will they hide? Priceless memory... shining forever
