The Great Escape

Faces down
We flee the ground
Of where we are and who we are
And how we live is quite bizarre
Heaven's near
But never here
We connect to disconnect
A melting down of intellect
Eternal youth
You share the proof
Permanent impertinence
From billions of unknown friends
Faces down
We flee the ground
Your virtual reality
The death of originality
It is Universe
Versus Metaverse
Here's another curse
Is it getting worse

Wasted
04:36

All the lives you live
And all the love you give
And all the hopes you hide
And all the darkest nights
And all the drinks you drink
And all the ships you sink
And all the long lost tracks
And all the things you wreck
And all the books you read
And all the seeds you seed
And all the hate you reap
And all the scars you keep
And all the clouds you count
And all the things you found
And all the rain that falls
And all the lonely strolls
And all the thoughts you had
And all the words you said
And all the plans you made
And all the games you played
And all the pain you caused
And all the grip you lost
And all the million years
And all the beauty here
It's never wasted
All the castles build
And all the blood you spilled
And all the trains you missed
And all the ones you kissed
And all the pictures kept
And all the times you slept
And all the shaking grounds
And all the words not found
And all the happy times
And all the unpayed fines
And all the silent talks
And all the nightly walks
And all the bags you packed
And all the coming back
And all the reasons why's
And all the last goodbyes
And all the lines you draw
And all the things you saw
And all the ropes you tossed
And all the lines you crossed
And all the deaths you died
And all the tears you cried
And all that's yet to come
And all that will be gone
It's never wasted

Left Behind
03:59
|
|||
|
Everybody's watching
But noone really cares
About you
Is it true
Who is out there
Who is real and who is not
Driving you
And what you do
Feels like you are doing time
Left behind, left behind
Feels like you are doing time
Left behind
Where no one finds you
And you doubt yourself
Becoming insecure
You depend
On unknown friends
Blinded by a promise
A little piece of code
Self-esteem
Just a dream
Who sees you
Who feels you
Where are you
When you're there

New

It's a person
It's a brand
It's movement
It's a trend
It's a habit
It's a way
It's a colour
It's a day
It's a cut and
It's a dish
It's a dream
And it's a wish
It's a silliness
A shoe
It is not me
No, it's you
New
It is new
It's a problem
It's a flaw
It's a leader
It's a war
It's a tribe and
It's a nation
It's a promise
Of salvation
An idea
A common ground
It's an enemy
You found
It's a silliness
A truth
It is not me
No, it's you
New
It is new
It's a move
It's a big thing
It's a song
That we all sing
It's a planet
It's a find
It's a home
And it's a time
A conspiracy
A plot
It's an era
It's a god
It's a belief
It is a proof
It is not me
No, it's you

Fear
04:55
|
|||
|
Keeping an eye on
All things that scare you
Keeps you from seeing
The unscary near you
You try to outrace them
So much to defend
Until you embrace them
The hunt will not end
All our fears leading us
None of them leavin us
All our fears leading us
To where we are
All our fears leading us
None of them leavin us
All our fears gathering
That's who you are
This road leads to nowhere
And so does your fight
You fear lets you go where
It puts out the light
There's no use in trying
A solitude ride
The art is to travel
With fear by your side
All our fears leading us
None of them leavin us
All our fears leading us
To where we are
All our fears leading us
None of them leavin us
All our fears gathering
That's who we are

You Will Hold Me
03:57
|
|||
|
You spent a life time ignoring that I am
Spent a little fortune on drinks and drugs and then
You're treading water, trying to get away
You don't want to be with me, but I'm with you every day
You will hold me in your arms
You will hold me in your arms one day
You are distracting yourself from the fact
That none of all these wasted minutes will come back
You call it living, and yeah you call it fun
Well I just call it dying, and hey, you're nearly done
You will hold me in your arms
You will hold me in your arms one day
You close your eyes while dancing that's why you don't see
No matter who's around you're dancing just with me
And in your darkest hours when you need a friend
You can rely on me, reach out and take my hand and
You will hold me in your arms
You will hold me in your arms today

Deathbeat
03:25
|
|||
|
With all the years behind you
Looking back you see
There's a thing inside that you just can't hide
Your soul's debris
Love's touch may be golden
Your touch was pure pain
It never felt like killing
And so you killed again
There's a deathbeat in your heart
Devastating from the start
Beating down the ones you love
Again
There's a deathbeat in your heart
Devastating from the start
Just the candles that you lit
Are shining on and on
It's the bad consience inside you
And you know it's gonna stay
And you feel the pain and you pray for rain
To wash it all away
Love's touch may be golden
Your touch was deep black
And the ones you locked in your deathbeat heart
Are never coming back

One Of Those Days
04:44
|
|||
|
I just sit and watch the light go strange
And I see the colour slowly change
And then I feel all my spirits fade
It's just one of those days
In my mind nothing but emptiness
In the mirror there's an empty face
And again I'm feeling out of place
It's just one of those days
Maybe I should take it in my stride
Cause I know this feeling deep inside
Well, I‚ think I stay inside this haze
It's just one of those days

Everywhere
06:13
|
|||
|
Well, you came alone
And that's the way you'll go
A feeling that you buried
Deep inside your soul
Here's another day
Where you have lost your way
Don't you try to hide
Everything's ok
You're in everything
And you are everywhere
You're in everything
Forever
All the pain you caused
It won't go away
With all those you have lost
All along your way
Where's the bliss when
Everything is coming down
You do miss them
You do wish they were around
They're in everything
And they are everywhere
They're in everything
Forever
They're in everything
And they are everywhere
They're in everything
Forever
We're in everything
And we are everywhere
We're in everything
Forever
You're in everything
And you are everywhere
You're in everything
Forever

Ten Mad Mongers Hamburg, Germany
Ten Mad Mongers initially where a one-man-show (without the show) recording tracks on three sessions at legendary White Noise Studios in Hamburg. After the record was made the one-man-show transformed into a band to play gigs to sell the record. Several of these gigs followed, e.g. in Sweden with Denmarks godfathers of indie, Sort Sol. ... more

The Offerings
by Death Instinct
supported by 4 fans who also own “Where Were We”
This album is excellent, and the lyrics are so good. The overall vibe I get is of a once-respected but now mostly-feared leader (a warlord perhaps) who has descended into madness and corruption over time and is reflecting back on everything they’ve done. “Hide” and “The Eye” in particular give me this feeling.

The Spell Between

Swirling goth-rock from the big voice behind '90s outfit Sunshine Blind, featuring a who's-who of dark underground denizens.

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.

“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties.
