Oh will our city fall,
They'll take us one and all,
Red blood will run,
They come with men of might,
To stay or to take flight,
Out time has come,
Chorus:
Oh here they come,
Lions roar,
Steel in hand,
Oh and they fall to the floor.
Oh hear my wretched call,
The warrior so tall, Is closing in.
Chorus:
Oh here they come,
Lions roar, Steel in hand,
Oh and they fall to the floor.

Starlight

Oh, on the edges of fading light
And shallow breathing, closing down
Starlight, sang to her a freedom song
Lost all feeling, gone to ground
Satellites, cannot live alone
We chase down meaning, make the rhythm our own
Rescued, how we moved tonight
Led right back to life, and danced into the dawn
Starlight, sang to her a freedom song
Tell her that it won't be long, a fugitive flown
Fire, false knights, dragons and swords
But now retreating, when she needs to be strong
Just moving and turning as rhythm meets rhyme
The face of a stranger, a moment in time
Starlight, sing to her a freedom song
Tell her that it won't be long, a fugitive flown
That song, the one that must be moved to
The one that moves you
Is never wrong

Queens, wives and slaves, Of Mycenae
Bound so tight and sent away
One single night, Gave sacrifice
Then sold abroad to friendless homes
In circle mound, By standing stones
Embossed motifs will tell and show
Fragments rejoined, not man or horse
A shape re-formed, Priestess adorned
Fall back through time, Through stone and iron
And wonder how she came to die
Legend and myth, one to the next
Such frosted glass, Her face eclipsed
Illuminate, To contemplate
On shadows of queens, wives and slaves
Illuminate, To contemplate
On shadows of queens, wives and slaves

Athena! Born of mind
Athena! Deified
Athena! Hero's spear
Athena! Crystal shield
(Pie Jesu domine
Dona eis requiem
Dies irae, Dies illa, Deam amoris)
Amen

Singing something about
A city of gold
Singing something about ...
Each rise and fall
Like dust in the wind
Survivalist tendency
On a Silk Road
On a Silk Road
To somewhere
Singing something about
A city of gold
Singing something about ...
As the camel train rolls on
Again
We're valiantly failing
Desire for a day again
Lost to the dreaming
Lost to the dreaming
And the caravan rolls on
On a Silk Road to somewhere
Stone walls that crumble before us
Betrothed anew to adventure and fear
Singing something about
A city of gold
Singing something about ...
An empire dies, a storm passes over
But something's alive
Restless cries of a wanderling child
Born to the whispers of war
Like dust in the wind
But with nowhere to fall
Nowhere
Nowhere
Nowhere
Singing something about
A city of gold
Singing something about ...
On a Silk Road
To somewhere
To somewhere

Take me home
Frozen
and carved back to the bone
Sun-scarred ancient dome
Oh, take me home
All we were
and all we've known
Oh, take me home
This yearning for
Fallen seed of pagan lore
Yeah the old times, And the old ways
It's the same place, In a new cage
This yearning for
Fallen seed, pagan lore
Yeah the old times, And the old ways
In this new Rome, It's the same place
The stars are ever our's and our's alone
Take me home, take me home, Take me home

Union (For Louise)
03:47
|
|||
|
White room, purple light
Tango-hot lovers conspire in the night
Kick back against the rising tide
Stylised, we dream inside
Blades still sharp, they cut so clean
Cut us a fine line, a passage of ease
World still asleep, no soother placates
The love of a simple life
And the joy she creates
Union!
White room, purple light
Tango-hot lovers set fire to the night
Kick back against the rising tide
Stylised, we dream inside
Union!

Don Quixote

Amnesia soothes an empty heart
Douse the fury, ease the pain
Hand-carved, discarded ornament
Made me cry for you again
Truer than the driving rain
Truer than your sense of shame
Truer than a burning flame
Is the man who lives within you
Rise up, Rise up, Rise up
Truer than your new name
Truer than this division game
Before the living as a slave
Is the man who burns within you
Truer than what was stole away
Is the man who burns within you
Truer than what was stole away
Is the man that burns within you
Rise up, Rise up, Rise up

Cut back and frozen to the bone
All we were and all we've known
Take me ... Take me home
Take me ... Take me home!

Again
04:39
|
|||
|
In your eyes, unguarded, can tell no lie
In truth, remains unspoken
I know how that soul sees mine
Desireless love, anahata child
You are unguarded
And if your soul sees mine, seek me out here
I'm on the outside of time
And touch for one moment
Where we have never been before
A new place, just our's
A place forever unborn
It all happens in stages
A hunter's game, a thirst for more
Easy prey, love-slain and taken down
Taken out coldly
Before desire moves, angel child
You are unguarded
Your home, a place called free and wild
Your home, where you are mine
When you leave here, don't forget me

Ihsan, Ihsan
Is one way To stand
Ihsan, Ihsan
Is one way To stand
And who do we become
Wearing compromise
Soldiering on?
In revolution
Wise men and fools are one
Ihsan, Ihsan
Spontaneity Open hand
Ihsan, Ihsan
Is freedom!
And who do we become
Wearing compromise
Soldiering on?
In revolution
Brothers and strangers
Are One
Ihsan ... Ihsan!
Ihsan ... Ihsan!

Lights That Change UK
New-age dreampop sound. They have recently started making music but have received a lot of attention for the uniqueness and
passion found within their music. It sounds almost like retro electronic pop from the eighties, from bands like The Cure, Cocteau Twins and Dead Can Dance, yet reclaims is modernity with their effects and almost eerie-like way of constructing songs.

The End Is the Beginning
by Mirror Of Haze
Perfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals.

A perfect slice of summer gloom for those hazy, overcast days when only baritone-voiced post-punk will do.
