Lyrics

1. LA MER

There’s salt in the air and it’s windy
There’s a man overboard starboard side
The captain puts out a mayday
I consume them within my tide
My waves are so green they’re like envy
My depths are as deep as your sight
And if you stare into my darkness
All your guilt will come to light.

The sea is empty I’ve put it all inside of me
And if you turn me inside out
I’ll drown this world without a doubt.

The storm has died down and it’s calm now
We lost many men to that wretch
Its blackness has never been known
Though many men have met its depths
We were much further out than we bargained
I fear we will never get home
As the sea begins to swell up
It wants to take us as its own.

And when I fill up your lungs
Infect like pleurisy
And when you’ve served your purpose
I’ll just leave you in the water.

Drowning unable to keep myself stable
This currents abhorrent it pulls me under
I wrap around you and full up inside you
My liquid addicted I can't let you go
Many we're taken and all we're forsaken
Lost to a cold that is unforgiving
Drowning unable to keep myself stable
I take a last breath as she pulls me under.


2. HOME IS WHERE YOU HANG YOURSELF

Filled with drugs and hate
I fucking hate this grim estate
Social deprivation and financial desperation
Rain stained grey walls and a penchant for a drunken fight
Nightmares round here are not saved only for the night.

I
Live
Here I am becoming why am I not running?
Far
From
Here
This needs addressing, this scheme is depressing
They
Smell
Fear
They say there's progression it's all window dressing
I
Live
Here.

Filled with piss and scum and scum is what I have become
Urban architecture and an anti-social nature
Pavements caved in and a park that's filled with broken
Glass
And peoples hopes and dreams reduced to fucking ash.

This place is a landfill it drags you to a standstill
Some cunt should just burn it
I'm fucking sure it's earned it
This place is a landfill
It drags you to a standstill
Some cunt should just burn it
I'm sure it won't be missed.


3. GRIEFER

Why can't you see?
That I'm happy as a cancer on society
You won't rid me I will eat you with my blackness.
Candlelit monotony Bathing everything I see
You taste so bitter.

Disease itching on my skin
Burning from within
Sir please
Forward my wage of sin
And let me crawl back in
Appease I've scratched off all my skin
And carved in place a grin
Disease
Still itching with no skin
Please let me crawl back in.

You can't kill me
I consume all your chemotherapy
This hate's a sea I fill my lungs up with its blackness
Candlelit monotony
Bathing everything I see you taste better.

Disease
Itching on my skin
Burning from within
Sir please
Forward my wage of sin
And let me crawl back in
Appease I've scratched off all my skin
And carved in place a grin
Disease
Still itching with no skin
Please let me crawl back in.

Inhale my lungs contracted
Each breath I take feels exacted.


4. BY DESIGN

Clay sets to rock Rock doesn't move
(It's nothing to prove)
I can't rewind clocks
And rust starts to suit me.

Hardline Design

We are the bones of tomorrow decaying and hollow
We all end up where we belong
We are the roots that will follow provide for tomorrow
Rewind mistimed.

Why grind your hours for someone else?
Your times worth more than all their wealth
Hardline
By design.

They set their clock when will they learn?
(It never returns)
I cant find my flock
There is safety in numbers.

So far from god but you wandered there willing
The fare's in my eyes closed with two shillings.


5. MEA CULPA

We have a strength of numbers
We have a say
We have the ways and means to not become their prey
We have an obligation
And above all
If we don't push against it
Nothing ever falls.

A wealth of stitches
Means far less riches
Embrace the ending
Renounce the mending.

A secret code of conduct
Dictates our day
Make them work much longer
For much less pay
Instead of realising
We're led astray
We all just take the soma
Let it fucking drift away.

A wealth of stitches
Means far less riches
Embrace the ending
Renounce the mending.

Misinformation feeds you
Fat proletariat
And if I tore your guts out
The lies would spill like blood.


6. GEORGE OSBOURNE - FUCK YOU

Changed his name at thirteen
from gideon to george
That fuckin tory wanker
Likes getting smacked by whores.

George osbourne - fuck you

He thinks he fucking solid
With his austerity cuts
If he came to our gig
I’d cut that cunt to fuck.

George osbourne - fuck you

Choose the future
what a load of fucking pish
Fucking rich scumbag
Tell that to starving kids.

George osbourne - fuck you


7. FUCK THE UNION... REVOLUTION !

Food banks poll tax mass unemployment
And you wanna buy into more lies?
Privatisation of public assets
I want the lies stopped.

Fuck the union!
Revolution!

Austerity and inequality
Ruled by the unelected
Minimal wages child poverty
It's time for a new order.

Fuck the union!
Revolution!


8. CALL OF THE WINTERMOON

Buried beneath the mountains of frost
Years of silent sorrow grim and dark
My winterwings of evil sleep in eternal nights.

In deaths cold crypts of snow
The moon chimed my return
With the blackstorms I came
And not with the winds.

Northern darkness marches through the coldest night.

I can't resist the taste of the wintermoon
I split my tongue for the taste of these winds
And bathe my eyes in its grace
Frost and winter returns to my eyes
The call of the wintermoon.

In the grey mist of deaths horizon
My wintermoon of evil sleeps
In deaths cold crypts of snow
Buried beneath the mountains of frost
Years of silent sorrow grim and dark
Into eternal nights
Hearing the call of the wintermoon.

I can't resist the taste of the winds of the moon
I split my tongue for the taste these winds
And bathe my eyes in its grace
Frost and winter returns to my eyes
The call of the wintermoon.

In the darkness rides
The moon will not forget ever
Hearing the call of the Wintermoon.
