Take a look outside and see the world's on fire now
Take a look and you'll find that we're all just guns for hire now
Try to make a difference in the world today
Try to find a way to switch off automate
Try to find a way to take the walls away
Try to find a way but the world's on fire
I think we're heading in the wrong direction
I think we're gonna have to rig the election
And then maybe it'll all be easy
Safely knowing that this life is merely
Just a game that is well worth playing
Just a game that aint all plain sailing
Don't we know this won't last forever
Don't we know we can't just press reset
One small step at a time, lets take it slow answers will soon arrive
One giant leap for mankind, the world it turns but we can't turn back time
Try to find a way to slow the world today
Try to find a way to switch off accelerate
Try to find a way to take the wheels away
Try to find a way to slow down our so called progress
I think we're heading in the wrong direction
I think we're gonna have to rig the election
And then maybe it'll all be easy
Safely knowing that this life is merely
Just a game that is well worth playing
Just a game that aint all plain sailing
Don't we know this won't last forever
Don't we know we can't just press reset
Fire fire fire this world's on fire
Fire fire fire this world's on fire
Fire fire fire this world's on fire
Fire fire fire this world's on fire
I think we're heading in the wrong direction
I think we're gonna have to rig the election
And then maybe it'll all be easy
Safely knowing that this life is merely
Just a game that is well worth playing
Just a game that aint all plain sailing
Don't we know this won't last forever
Don't we know we can't just press reset
I think we're heading in the wrong direction
I think we're gonna have to rig the election
And then maybe it'll all be easy
Safely knowing that this life is merely
Just a game that is well worth playing
Just a game that aint all plain sailing
Don't we know this won't last forever
Don't we know we can't just press reset

Concrete Skies

Pulled the wool over eyes told us lies said we’d be best without them
Filled our heads with fake news while they swore things would work out in the end
Did they think all these lies would take away our concrete skies?
Take the fools on a drive while they cheat let’s make it so so real
They can cry all they want but it will all soon be so so real
Is it such a surprise we still live under concrete skies?
Sometimes the world feels so cold, so cold
Are we weak to feel petrified or just wise?
Sometimes the world feels so cold, so cold
Are we wrong to live a life of lies? We’ve been sold
Sometimes the world feels so cold
We sit back and obey, ignore the way we all really feel
Marching orders that way, how do we all really feel?
Did we hear what they said when they sold us the deal?
Did we hear what they said as we sat back and yield?
Sometimes the world feels so cold, so cold
Are we weak to feel petrified or just wise?
Sometimes the world feels so cold, so cold
Are we wrong to live a life of lies? We’ve been sold
Sometimes the world feels so cold
See the light follow love
See the light follow love
Take a chance make it right
See the light follow love
If we look we shall find
See the light it won’t lie
Take a chance move away
Follow love leave today
If we seek we shall find
See the light we’re not blind
Leave this place we won’t stay
Take a chance it’s ok
Sometimes the world feels so cold, so cold
Are we weak to feel petrified or just wise?
Sometimes the world feels so cold, so cold
Are we wrong to live a life of lies? We’ve been sold
Sometimes the world feels so cold, so cold
Are we weak to feel petrified or just wise?
Sometimes the world feels so cold, so cold
Are we wrong to live a life of lies? We’ve been sold
Sometimes the world feels so cold

Sirens

Michael takes the tube but he goes nowhere near the blue line
He saw something dark that will never leave his tiny mind
He gets home from work and he acts like it never happened
Relaxing to the sound of sirens on the Kingsland road
He waits and waits to tell his story
To take the burden from his mind
The suited man takes a bow as he passes over
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
He’s decided that he’s gonna trade in all his memories
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
Nobody can stop him as the seconds seem to last forever
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
The moment’s passed an image frozen fixed it can’t be unseen
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
Girl gets home from school and forgets that it ever happened
She’s too busy staring at the likes on her Instagram
Answering the door she sees 3 figures standing there
She’s frantic and she’s flailing and she’s pulling out her hair
She’s just learnt of something that is far too much for her to bear
She waits and waits to tell her story
To lift the burden over time
The suited man takes a bow as he passes over
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
He’s decided that he’s gonna trade in all his memories
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
Nobody can stop him as the seconds seem to last forever
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
The moment’s passed an image frozen fixed it can’t be unseen
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
And those events they stay remembered
Bodies dismembered
Victims fallen
Swallowed up by that machine
Those brittle bones crumpled together
Lost forever
A life forsaken
It can’t be mistaken that was not a dream
The suited man takes a bow as he passes over
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
He’s decided that he’s gonna trade in all his memories
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
Nobody can stop him as the seconds seem to last forever
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
The moment’s passed an image frozen fixed it can’t be unseen
Turn the lights out, never turn the lights out
And we’re all gonna live forever
But we’re all gonna see it through til the end
And we’re all gonna live together
But we’ll all have to stand in line in the end

Wrong

I’m so I’m afraid
That you’ll cheat with another
Take off and leave to find a new lover
I know how you’re feeling but christ it aint easy
I’ve the devil on one side but no angel inside me
My head isn’t strong but I’m willing and able
I’ll quit trying to live my whole life like it’s some kind of fable
Because it’s wrong wrong,
Wrong wrong
Wrong wrong
And I know I shouldn’t feel it cos it’s wrong wrong
Wrong wrong
Wrong wrong
And I know I shouldn’t feel it cos it’s
I’ll take what I need then I’ll say that I’m sorry
The deprived and the needy they’ve got nothing on me
When you’re down on your knees you won’t find any glory
Live my life on the streets where I’ll share all my stories
My head isn’t strong but I’m willing and able
I’ll quit trying to live my whole life like it’s some kind of fable
Because it’s wrong wrong,
Wrong wrong
Wrong wrong
And I know I shouldn’t feel it cos it’s wrong wrong
Wrong wrong
Wrong wrong
And I know I shouldn’t feel it cos it’s wrong wrong
Wrong wrong
Wrong wrong
And I know I shouldn’t feel it cos it’s wrong wrong
Wrong wrong
Wrong wrong
And I know I shouldn’t feel it cos it’s
We’ll keep moving on
We’ll keep staying strong
We’ll keep moving on
This life it’s all wrong
We’ll keep moving on
We’ll keep staying strong
We’ll keep moving on
This life it’s all wrong
My head isn’t strong but I’m willing and able
I’ll quit trying to live my whole life like it’s some kind of fable
Because it’s wrong wrong,
Wrong wrong
Wrong wrong
And I know I shouldn’t feel it cos it’s wrong wrong
Wrong wrong
Wrong wrong
And I know I shouldn’t feel it cos it’s wrong wrong
Wrong wrong
Wrong wrong
And I know I shouldn’t feel it cos it’s wrong wrong
Wrong wrong
Wrong wrong
And I know I shouldn’t feel it cos it’s

HYMNS London, UK
Plucking from a wealth of genres and pop culture references, HYMNS make epic and ethereal rock songs that exist to enlighten and energise all who bear witness. With thick Baritone vocals and rousing choral hooks, their music is appropriately bittersweet. ... more
