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?

Love the lyrics man, potent, powerful, vivid. You can feel the emotion just reading them, I'll have to swing back around when there is a demo up!

Best lines I've heard in a song today: "Past shadows dance on the ancient walls/For once hear history's fucking call" This is a solid lyric, and I am so curious to hear it. Glad to see you around FAWM, Danny!
