lyrics

My thoughts spring out from this abscess
make friends and coalesce
Fly to the border, shake at the gates
and rattle the guards
Shackles shed and chains break free
no map for how we flee
Pick a direction, wherever it leads
is where we’ll be

Step back and retrace
The paths that led us to this place
Circle around then crouch to the ground
And wait for the sound

And we sing do do do…
Lights are all green, let’s go

The flesh is dead, stripped off to rot
muscles twist to form knots
Venting blood, blue and red
then filtered clear
Peasants scream as we descend
the high plains where we are bred
Newborn gods, demon seeds
Or something obscene?

Step back and retrace
The paths that led us to this place
Circle around then crouch to the ground
And wait for the sound

Step back and retrace
No experience can relate
Sensations now familiar somehow
We’ll always glow

And we sing do do do…
Lights are all green, let’s go

Sent by the stars, we’re ahead from the start
Kicking up dust, debris in our wake
Skipping ‘cross rivers and looping ‘round peaks
Waving to the fans in the stands

The souls below will feel our speed
How they long to join this dream
How hard they race to catch up
Lost as sonic booms erupt

Lights are all green, let’s go
We’ve passed beyond all that’s known
Hold onto yourselves as we break through

Proud purveyors of unpopular music.

"[W]hat's uncommon is how [Gavin Dunaway] can shred/skronk/groove on the elektric geetar, though these days his ax-weilding shares equal space with electronic textures that span from abrasive to atmospheric” – The Deli
