Liner Notes

#alternative #alternativerock #guitar #rock #indierock

My first FAWM in years! And, so, this one took a bit to complete as I shake out the cobwebs. I haven't sung in a long while so I'm quite unhappy with the performance but, eh, just getting this one out there!

Edit: I took down my demo... I think the vocals are very wrong for this one. Will re-upload when I re-record the vocals!

Lyrics

A demagogue messiah
Another headline, another headache
They're tearing down, what’s been raised
paint up their straw men, bow down to
their great leader

Past shadows dance on the ancient walls
For once hear history's god damn call
You think blaming others solves all your problems, don't ya?
But they're the same as they always were
They always are and they'll always be
Why do they always try to burn down Alexandria?

Paper tigers but loaded
Make believe warriors of idiocy
Who condemn the achievements
That let them live their
life in the
Lap of leisure

Weathering all the flames we can because somethings are meant to stay
Weathering all the flames we can because some people can't be tamed
Weathering all the flames we can because some would rather create
Weathering all the flames we can because somethings you can't erase

Light it up

Past shadows dance on the ancient walls
For once hear history's fucking call
You think blaming others solves all your problems, don't ya?
But they're the same as they always were
They always are and they'll always be
Why do they always try to burn down Alexandria?
