1.
There is no death There is only the death of hope There is no surrender There is only the surrender of your will There is no imprisonment There is only the captivity of your soul I am the author of this story I am the master of my fate I am the captain of my soul And I will overcome I will overcome
2.
The promise and the pain The sickness and the shame The solace and the rain Returning what we’ve lost The noose around your neck You can taste the hangman’s foul breath A lost, hopeless cause No one to mourn your loss So throw me to the fucking wolves You know that I’ll be back When we stand over your bloated corpse I will lead the pack Unrest, and shallow graves Have paved the way for what you see No heroes here, in blackest days In cowardice you waste away You are not a victim And I am not a villain The herd will never stray They come to cull the weak The sleepwalking tyrant Finds his disciples among the weak With hollow hearts and empty eyes These sheep are wearing sheep Unrest, and shallow graves Have paved the way for what you see No heroes here, in blackest days In cowardice you waste away
3.
Losing words and losing light Crossing paths, as earth and sky collide Chase the sun the sun I know the cost is high With a fleeting glimpse an a sudden glance Like a half-remembered dream If I see you there would you tell me What it’s supposed to mean? There’s purity in this machine I know Cut the strings of the heart And the slivers of hope
4.
Buried deep between the pages Is the lie on which your thrive Good god, I hope that you remember Oh god, you shouldn’t forget You should not forget it That on a day like today I can barely see the city From where I stand Where I stand Chasing armoured angels (We elevate) Chasing Armoured Angels (We fall away) Chasing Armoured Angels (Do you believe?) Chasing Armoured Angels Do you see? Unearth your curse To want, to wait What do you dream of? What you can never have We pursue the fallacy Across the dark It’s us and them So pick a side Oh god, you shouldn’t forget You should not forget it That on a day like today I can barely see the city From where I stand Where I stand Chasing armoured angels (We elevate) Chasing Armoured Angels (We fall away) Chasing Armoured Angels (Do you believe?) Chasing Armoured Angels Do you see?

(Waiting for answers Waiting out the storm But at the end of the day You have a choice to make We all have a choice to make) (There is no death There is only the death of hope There is no surrender There is only the surrender of your will There is no imprisonment There is only the captivity of your soul I am the author of this story I am the master of my fate I am the captain of my soul And I will overcome I will overcome) Here I am
6.
(‘Tis a fine day to go to war) Walk into the sun And now they see there’s nothing left White lights and blackened dreams Let it go You’re left behind A fetid impulse, left to die You’re twisting and writhing on the inside Dig your hole Cut off Suffocate the soul Bleed out Surrender all control Burn it Burn it to the ground Burn it Oh fucking burn it Burn it to the ground I’ve been up all night Watching the city burn I’ve been up all night I know we can’t return
7.
We’re on a long and lonely road to nowhere Following stars and sleeping by the light The way is hard, the way is long man And so we sing this lonely song And so we sing a lonely song Strike out Set a course for home Look up to the sky Into the thunderdome

Instrumental. Sort of.

about

The much delayed, mildly anticipated, and largely unlistenable debut record from Nothinggrad.

I've got this set up so that you can download it for free if you wish. You also have the option to pay what you think it's worth. Everything you may contribute goes towards making the next record (no, it's not just beer money) and helps me keep making music. Either way, thanks for listening and thank you all so much for the support.
