These Lies
lyrics by R.Arroyo
All the words of the creepy spy
In the heat of the midnight sky
You can feel them watching you
Judging everything you do
There were these lies
All in disguise
It was in your eyes
Even back in ’85
All we see is a beautiful dream
And what are you going to do tonight
It’s all we ever wanted to be
But nothing comes with some misery
There were these lies
All in disguise
It was in your eyes
Even back in ’85
Hold my hand in the valley of Faith
You know it’s filled with pure heartbreak
Diamond rings and a blinding light
Luring you into the fangs with bite
There were these lies
All in disguise
It was in your eyes
Even back in ’85
Now a lesson for the fool
With a glance he was taken in
The illusion of control
never understood the sin
There were these lies
All in disguise
It was in your eyes
Even back in ’85
There were these lies
All in disguise
It was in your eyes
Even back in ’85

Up in Heaven
lyrics by R.Arroyo
Long and weary
The horses sleep
The path is long
As the sea is deep
Let the songs make a mess
I’m in danger
Not just here
Up in Heaven
Angels fear
Turn the tables
The wretched queen
She cut my hands
And turned them green
I fade away, more or less
I’m in danger
Not just here
Up in Heaven
Angels fear
Admiration
the cutting blade
It babbles long
in the darkest shade
Every day
I fail the test
I’m in danger
Not just here
Up in Heaven
Angels fear
I’m in danger
Not just here
Up in Heaven
Angels fear
Angels fear
Angels fear

Dark of the Lake
lyrics by R.Arroyo
Breathe a second time
Leave it all behind
Don’t let the dark
Leave you blind
Madness is the sun
That this has become
We’re done
On the night of the dark of the lake
All the light of the souls you take
And if I can’t replace
The memory of your face
As I fall from your grace
Madness is the sun
That this has become
We’re done
On the night of the dark of the lake
All the light of the souls you take
Let the hear that wounds
Leave the stars laid on the tombs
and then slip away
In the unknown daze
Madness is the sun
That this has become
We’re done
On the night of the dark of the lake
All the light of the souls you take
On the night of the dark of the lake
All the light of the souls you take

One Last
lyrics by R.Arroyo
One last flag that needs to stand
Another trick with slight of hand
One last bite to make the tear
Another loss we have to bare
One last kiss I have to give
Another life left to live
One last chance to do right
Another punch left in this fight
One painful forgotten one
Another raindrop in the storm
One last word in all the wrong
Another twist in all that turns
One last flame that has to burn
Another whisper in the wind
One last fire that starts to dim
Another day left to begin

Shadowplay

To the center of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you,
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you,
I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you,
In a room with a window in the corner I found truth.
In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more,
As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor,
And with cold steel, odor on their bodies mad a move to connect,
But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left.
I did everything, everything I wanted to,
I let them use you for their own ends,
To the center of the city at night, waiting for you.
To the center of the city at night, waiting for you.

Dark and seething post-punk from Cincinnati that's appealingly janky enough to make a tired genre feel fresh and urgent.

imagine yourself back in the late 80's in a small dark and crowded club,alcohole mixes with black clothes and gothic style, Adolescents that were missunderstood, waves of cigarttes's smoke and music that playing loud and loaded the air with killer bassline groove. a soundtrack for a whole generation! this band is like the best that was in music in that time. great vocals, great lyrics, capture well the punk rock vibe that was in the new dark wave music style of a forggoten era.
