Rise

Have you considered while, we're in denial, our rights are growing few,
those of a corporate feed, infused by greed, want an institutional you,
we run to escape their clutches, but they'll catch us we run on crutches
Beneath the noise you hear, below the fear, rebellion sings to you,
cos they spent our sympathy, on iniquity, and try to spin what isn't true,
we fail to recover justice, we're falling into a lack of substance
Rise above, your love, and all the worldly cares and doubts,
Synchronise to their lies, until the day we
Rise, draw a line in the sand and
Rise, cross the line in the sand
Its nothing personal, just rationale, that drives us to rebel,
the health of liberty, and equality, isn't feeling very well,
we stand without any compass, we come together and raise our voices
Without a second glance, I'll take a chance, and I'll line up at the tell,
i feel the dissonance, the eloquence, of the lies inside the shell,
its not easily digested, and its begging to be contested
Rise above, your love, and all the worldly cares and doubts,
Synchronise to their lies, until the day we
Rise, draw a line in the sand and
Rise, cross the line in the sand
They bring fear
They bring confusion
They bring tears
They bring delusion
Rise, draw a line in the sand and
Rise, from a line in the sand

Seeds

So you think the time has come to find another one
for the one you thought you had at home, when looking it is gone
yet the structure, of the wording, of your inner dialogue
seems at odds with all your feelings, you deceitful dog
The secrets of the universe, will only make you seem perverse
is it freedom that you seek? let the hand go, take a leap
into the final days of old, when knights were fair and maidens bold
words of yours forever cheap, spinning webs for time to keep
and you will seed the next in line
Unbeknown to all the sycophantic memories of love
in between the aspects of your dream, forgotten from above
hide the shades of tragedy, they are begging you to stop
twisted memories are screaming 'there is danger in the drop'
The secrets of the universe, will only make you seem perverse
is it freedom that you seek? let the hand go, take a leap
into the final days of old, when knights were fair and maidens bold
words of yours forever cheap, spinning webs for time to keep
and you will seed the next in line
the next in line, the next in line, the next in line
Arrogance will only serve you to remind you what you lost
inter-planetary travel is cheaper on the cost
and the purpose, of your service, if its children then you must
giving distance to your conscience, you have given up the trust
The secrets of the universe, will only make you seem perverse
is it freedom that you seek? let the hand go, take a leap
into the final days of old, when knights were fair and maidens bold
words of yours forever cheap, spinning webs for time to keep
and you will seed the next in line

Buying Freedom
04:36

Where we go down, down under the ground,
running numbers we have found, buying freedom by the pound
We're not free, lost our liberty, the face you see, is stained hypocrisy,
you're not free, by paying us to be, the rats of fear and glee, repairing destiny
Deeper down, with this demented frown,
stolen from a clown, its chasing us around
You can't live, no prerogative, you see me give, a costly relative
Say you'll strive, keeping it alive, it felt good at the time, but now it doesn't rhyme
Upon the game, I place the blame
about the breaks and what it takes
of the cost, and what is lost
do the time and free your mind
Where we rebound, we're fighting not to drown,
your silence is a sound, with still voices all around
You must try, chose to do or die, the cost is high, it's paid without a sigh,
takes a while, cleaning up the lie, with time to analyse, and then to criticise
It's here we'll stand, kettle's playing in the round,
we know the cause is damned, as only some will take the stand
Hold the line, don't forget the rhyme, peace in time, a foolish paradigm,
hold that smile, it may be a while, pain is back in style, never in denial
Upon the game, I place the blame
about the breaks and what it takes
of the cost, and what is lost
do the time and free your mind
Where we go down, down under the ground
buying freedom, buying freedom by the pound
buying freedom, buying freedom for me and you
and me and you, and me and you, and me and you
their selling freedom, their selling our freedom, what are we to do?
Upon the game, I place the blame
about the breaks and what it takes
of the cost, and what is lost
do the time and free your mind
We did the time, to free our minds

Pale Stafford, UK
Pale bring
elements of hard rock, post rock, heavy metal and grunge
and bind them into a set of powerful
and punctuated songs;
a melting pot of tribalistic fury, brooding presence and
vitriolic angst.
Their songs are of pounding and passionate, soaring,
grinding rock; lyrically flavored with visceral and
impending words of despair, faithlessness, rebellion
and smashed illusions.
