Scapegoat
03:38
|
|||
Out on the lam
No one here would understand
The shades of grey
Some man’s waiving sticks today
No one can breathe
As you incessantly
Drown the truth
No one can hear anything
You cast blind eyes to
Those abandoned by you
And it is tragedy
And who’s the scapegoat now
As you writhe around
Trapped under lock and key
Breaking free from the leash that you wear
Around your neck
The price may be high
But it’s worth running
No one can breathe
As you incessantly
Drown the truth
No one can hear anything

Berserkergang
02:50
|
|||
We come with our axes
To where you are
We can’t help retracting
Out offer of
A kinship which neglects
Our basic decency
You can take my hand
And follow me
No one here can resurrect
The faith in me
I want to believe
To fetch too far
This place questions whether
Faith could be an art
Misdirection
It makes a mess of me

Out To Sea
03:26
|
|||
First you roll the dice
And then you see
Winning is to lose
The irony
Escaping fates found far below
The depths we were ever meant to go
No one has to know
Gonna find a boat
So that I can go out to sea
Anywhere but here’s my destiny
It takes us
Some time yet
No one knows
Jaded hearts and hypocrites
Almost everything is hit and miss
And it’s come to this
Walking down a dim lit road
No ones got a torch that I can borrow
That’s become the show

Malice
04:50
|
|||
I don’t know
Which way is home
I left some bread crumbs
Around somewhere
In my shadow
In my shadow’s home
I don’t know
Which way to go
Up hill’s cold
But down I’m prone to fall
Into callousness
Rain helps malice grow
One day older and one day shy
Of the place we yearn to find
One step further
Hear the murmur grow

History Books
02:35
|
|||
There’s history books I never read
They turn the living into dead
Repressed everything they said
But winners wrote those history books
And many truths were over looked
I’ve been a saint and I’ve been a crook
Tanks and guns are industries
Like selling drugs and lopping trees
If you think your job makes God pleased
Then die and find out
This house is built on dead bodies
Like the media and companies
They spin the slaughter with great ease
For those who watch TV
But television makes you feel
Like medication made the wheel
You could believe in what’s real

Fade Away
03:44
|
|||
It’s gonna be a beautiful night
If I can get you away
From your telescopic sight
The targets are already dead
And you’ll save yourself a fight
If you can just let them
Fade away
When we’re apprehended
We’ll be holding on
To more than what you’ve got
It’s gonna be a glorious sight
If I can get them away from their
Psychotic fight
The targets are all in our heads
So we’ll set ourselves alight
If we can’t just let them
Fade away

The Libertine
04:10
|
|||
Here comes alcohol
No one here’s a liar
They all speak the truth
Old debates and cigarettes
No one gets me down the way you do
And it takes a thousand years
But the fires burn and no one turns around
To see the Libertine
I feel vitriol
No one here is higher
Tales of my wasted youth
Without pain we would forget
Happiness imparting debt
I wont pay it back to you
|

Lion In A Cage
04:12
|
|||
Fine until they came
To make sure that
I wont see the sunshine
Only rain
But there’s a lion in this cage
And you don’t kick a lion in the face
Raining down vengeance upon the wicked
Tip toe through the day
Knowing that you can dish out
More than I can take
And there’s a lion in this cage
And you don’t rub a lion the wrong way

Taking Control
02:42
|
|||
We’re taking steps towards
Taking control
None of us have asked for war
And we’re taking steps towards
Taking control
None of us have faught for more
|

Entropy
02:53
|
|||
None of you have got
What it is I really want
Gates that never close
No one sees and no one knows
Where the cliffs meet the sea
Silver oceans shimmering
Eyes can’t conceal the love
No ones watching from above
And it gets higher
Like a shot from a machine gun
And it gets tired like everyone
You can’t lose someone
Nothing can outshine the sun
Holding on to entropy
So you can’t lose anything

Escaping
05:50
|
|||
Who knows which way
Which way’s the door
It’s a sore point and it’s making my joints ache
I just wanted some quiet in my head
There’s a reason every day
Why I close the door and stay in this place
It’s quite nice away from home
A long way to go
This will be the last time
In this world
It’s the last thing that’s mine
In this world
In this time
Drink a bottle everyday
It might make you stronger when
Taking it on everyday
It might make you live longer

Monsters
04:04
|
|||
Over the mountainside
There’s a place we left
Never to go again
And no one
No one can right the wrongs
We both shared
No one wept for the life we left

The Mad Pride Wollongong, Australia
Combining 60s psychedelia, folk noir, art rock, gothic post-punk and baroque pop, The Mad Pride has been described as haunting and ominous like Syd Barrett and David Bowie collaborating on a Tim Burton film soundtrack. Comparisons are often made to Radiohead, Grizzly Bear, Frank Zappa, Opeth, Nick Cave, Erik Satie and Leonard Cohen. It is the brainchild of singer/songwriter Rowan Galagher. ... more
