The Alternate Missed

Up to him
Down to you
He swears interaction
Can’t threaten his view
He speaks in earnest of what cannot be known
And bleats unabashed of his heart’s missing tomes
For he is the actor and he is his audience
Stood at odds, stood at ease, stood by insidious ordinance
And once his head’s spun with truth and fiction
The wise lament lest they ignore his final diction
And languish their judgement or vanquish indeed
His theatre has vanished and with it his heed
And we all miss the man that he could have been

Au contraire
Your tone deaf contribution’s weak
Laisser de marbre
In all but the most glamorous of grief
Faux pas
Is it uncouth to share a little fortune
Les plébéiens
They pushed you up but you would have them perish in their hole
N’est-ce pas?
You’re in excess of joie de vivre
C’est assez
Je ne sais quoi, what could you need?
Noblesse oblige
Yet you have banked the force majeure
Un cul de sac
C’est la vie will damn you and your spawn
Too
Fait accompli
The value of the public’s clear
Raison d’être
To earn for you through their blood, sweat and tears
Objet d’art
The walls of that cathedral stand
Vis à vis
Now aligned with your contempt for those who truly need
N’est-ce pas?
You’re in excess of joie de vivre
C’est assez
Je ne sais quoi, what could you need?
Noblesse oblige
Yet you have banked the force majeure
Un cul de sac
C’est la vie will damn you and your spawn
Too
ahhh, La raison du plus fort est toujours la meilleure
et tu le crois, mieux vaux être le marteau que l’enclume
tu dis ne pas pouvoir aider tout le monde
mais à cœur vaillant rien d'impossible
et aux grands maux les grands remèdes
Oui, ahhh
You’re in excess of joie de vivre
Je ne sais quoi, what could you need?
And you have banked the force majeure
C’est la vie will damn you and your spawn
N’est-ce pas?
You’re in excess of joie de vivre
C’est assez
Je ne sais quoi, what could you need?
Noblesse oblige

N’est-ce pas?

Hour Of Need
03:33
|

|
In our hour of need
We’re adrift endlessly
As wilting signs of the autumn come
Bringing with them the cool veil of mist
The past will succumb to death’s silver kiss
Though all this must end, know it ain’t over yet
We still ride by the twilight
The turn of the tides
The darkness of night
Some things are sure, they’ll be evermore so
Sail with the tides
Burn candles at night
To the victors of their fear
Your feet will reach shore
Spring back to full force
This season of life will bring testing times
A chill bites your soul, you feel less than whole
Punishing storms, your bed without warmth
A course for delight, may veer through decline
We still ride by the starlight
The turn of the tides
The darkness of night
Some things are sure, they’ll be evermore so
Sail with the tides
Burn candles at night
To the victors of their fear
Your feet will reach shore
Spring once again yours
Always remember
This journey’s but once
Don’t cast it away
A sound destination
Sits on the horizon
Keep above the waves
Oh the turn of the tides
The darkness of night
Some things are sure, they’ll be evermore so
Sail with the tides
Burn candles at night
To the victors of their fear
Your feet will reach shore
Spring back to full force

Old Money
04:21
|
|||
|
Some are born in
With every way out they could wish for
Others are born out
With no way in
Yet many search endlessly for
An open door
Hey, hey
Are we approaching final days?
Let’s treat this like a friggin’ race
Life’s forever if you breathe today
What do I care?
I see nothing wrong with the air
Hey, hey
We’re serving all you can eat
On the menu it always reads only ‘meat’
Everybody’s got a beef but
The farts and disease they’re
only in your hippy breeze
Do you relate to these words of a thief
Are you complacent in the face of deceit
Is it right to appease the insane?
When the babes to become
Pay for our mistakes
Their old money
Ain’t your best friend
And it ain’t no big surprise
Their old tricks
Ain’t the way to go
To invigorate your life
Hey Hey
The economic kings the whales
They got this, the cheques are all in the mail
Spend your days for the industry, cos
more GDP that’s all you’re really gonna need
Hey, hey
Destroy your faith and change your ways
That’s what the science of the heathens says
But you’ll believe in what you are told
Go by the book, chant the lines, keep the old
Do you relate to these words of a thief
Are you complacent in the face of deceit
Is it right to appease the insane?
When the babes to become
Pay for our mistakes
Their old money
Ain’t your best friend
And it ain’t no big surprise
Their old tricks
Ain’t the way to go
To invigorate your life
Hey, hey
They might try but none can tell
What’s waiting at the final bell
Oh we can argue what the future holds
But you can be sure,
the devil he won’t knock our door
Do you relate to these words of a thief
Are you complacent in the face of deceit
Is it right to appease the insane?
When the babes to become
Pay for our mistakes
Their old money
Ain’t your best friend
And it ain’t no big surprise
Their old tricks
Ain’t the way to go
To invigorate your life
Those things won’t help us
After all our enjoyment
Is worth nothing
To them and
Their old money
Their old kings and queens
Their bloody tricks
They’ve had us on our knees

Two Dads

Headphones in place
A vacant stare on my face
My practised expression, top drawer
As I glare at myself in the doors
And that’s when I’m sobered
By a note in a hand that’s red raw
He cannot afford
To silence the voices
Or to focus his gaze on the floor
He’s got to do more
They’re desperately poor
I’m fumbling for cash
Hand in hat for a conjurer’s stash
As i thought, i must find words to tell
Why I won’t be providing him help
And that’s when I’m sobered
By the kindness in eyes so forlorn
He cannot afford
To silence the voices
Or to focus his gaze on the floor
He’s got to do more
They’re desperately poor
His face says that he knows
My growing dread has been shown
He’s sensed me thinking of my son
We’d both die to save a cherished one
I can’t begin to comprehend gifts
Only received by the few lucky kids
Ought’a run to my job
Can’t be late no I won’t miss my stop
After leaving I ponder my time
Could have gone to get cash, my career would survive
Damn I’ve been sobered
By the fear of the father I saw
He cannot afford
To silence the voices
Or to focus his gaze on the floor
He’s got to do more
At least I’ve been sobered
By our differing luck in this draw
He cannot afford
To silence the voices
Or to focus his gaze on the floor
He’s got to do more
I could have done more

When You've Grown
03:27
|

Hold on tight
I’m letting go
Hold on now
Try on your on own
I’ve chosen the bus seat you like
Even though I am alone
I flash the old picture of you
On the lock screen of my phone
And I feel I will miss you when you’ve grown
I feel I will miss you when you’ve grown
I feel I will miss you when you’ve grown
That child you are today
It’s sad that we won’t meet again
For most of your journeys
We have travelled side by side
Despite today’s empty seat
You are sitting in my mind
And I feel I will miss you when you’ve grown
I feel I will miss you when you’ve grown
I feel I will miss you when you’ve grown
That child you are today
It’s sad that we won’t meet again
I’d never hold you back
Never hope for that
I’ll be proud to see
The grown up that you will be
When you change so much
I’m always catching up
I hope the moments last
But they’re soon the in the past
And I feel I will miss you when you’ve grown
I feel I will miss you when you’ve grown
I feel I will miss you when you’ve grown
That child you are today
It’s sad that we won’t meet again
I will miss you when you’ve grown
I feel I will miss you when you’ve grown
When you wake up for the new day
I’m here to know you once again

You
05:32

You
You stand for all
No regard for the fall
We buy the ire
Aimed at you
Target of the news
You
You build us up
And you’re torn down
We suck the gun
Aimed at you
Target of the noose
You call injustice by its name
And you won’t stop until it’s better
Though you’re sick of the lies
You give yourself for our lives
Enduring the pressure
You call the future by its name
And you won’t stop until it’s better
Or death do us part
Even unbreakable hearts
Can’t fight this forever
You
You’d do it anyway
Even If we’d all be grey
Dulled by views
Contrary to our human roots
You
You’d love us anyway
Even if we’d all make this mistake
Again and again
Hope is a part, a part of your truth
Call injustice by its name
And don’t stop until it’s better
Though you’re sick of the lies
Give yourself for all lives
Enduring the pressure
Call the future by its name
And don’t stop until it’s better
Or death do us part
After sharing your heart
We’ll fight this forever
Call injustice by its name
Ohhh don’t stop till it’s better
Though you’re sick of the lies
Give yourself for all lives
Enduring the pressure
Call the future by its name
Mmm don’t stop till it’s better
Or death do us part
After sharing your heart
We’ll fight this forever

An Improbable Flame
01:31
|
|||
|
A flame is improbable
In a storm that’s unstoppable
Yet it is not the storm
But the greed that tips the candle stick
To light for one a second wick
Only to snuff their blessing out
Yet when gifted another time and place
Perhaps this soul won’t make the same mistake
But share instead that flame around
Til’ the winds blow not amongst the circled crowd

We mix elements from alt-rock, prog and metal.
We make meaningful
songs.
We're not and never will be an every-song-sounds-the-same band.
We like intro and outro tracks, a lot.
We link songs to make a bigger experience.
Are you in?

Underheard is an understatement. A beautifully crafted album with prog and heavy rock elements.

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this.
