Projections

We found ourselves again
Another time and place
To take for granted
To need inspiration
Tell me what will it be
And so we pay no mind
For it to pass us by
Wandered streets
With our heads held high
Yet we paid no mind...
Distorted projections
Of security lay bare
On the faces of our friends, I know
We’re always left
With so much more to say
And so we pay no mind
For it to pass us by
Wandered streets
With our heads held high
Yet we paid no mind...
‘Once said I should have kept all things to myself’

When did I get so tired of
Hearing others sing their acquired
Train yard blues
Spent all day trying to remind myself
Where did they all go?
Did I chase them out
Did I chase them
Did I dream it away
As I look through railway arches
Deemed just a keyhole view
Nothing seems the same
Nothing stays the same
Will the way out
Just lead me to another day
I recall little, I recall few
I replaced them all
With skirting board views
Spent all day dreaming it away
I want to know
Where did they all go?
Did I chase them out
Did I chase them
Did I dream it awa

Horizon (Their Eyes On)

Our earliest lessons are owed to who?
Placed our trust in others but it was owed to you
The rite of bettering those that came before us
Is owed to everyone
Pull yourself apart
Plant your soul like a seed
As we reach and become
What lies on
The horizon
Their eyes on
The horizon
Their bigger picture
Just two sides of a coin
Tying up loose ends
If only they cast
Their eyes on
The horizon
What lies on
The horizon
We stand and view
What is owed to who?
We rely on you
To build and be
Our horizon
As they tear our place apart
We restore and rebuild
Realise our need to
Let equal eyes see
What lies on
The horizon

Call It A Life

To listen and learn
Follow signs and pursue
We raise our hands
They see straight through
It is true that only words
Can break the silence from around
Our eager ears
So won’t you speak?
Tell of highs and pain
How we all need and try
To find our way
So we call it a life
Saccharine and strife
When we slip
Don’t be surprised
It is true that only hurt
Will follow us until we learn
To let to go
Call it a life
Take it in stride
Call it a life
Turn with the tide
Call it a life
No wrong or right
Call it a life
All of this just to call it a life
Taken in stride
Won’t let you slip
Can’t cut our ties

Wish/Wonder

A pathetic fallacy
To hide behind
A poetic currency
To define our lives
And those by our side
Under somber skies
Clinging to wish
And wondering what it would be like
To spend our days in the sunshine
How I let myself withdraw
Between each and every word
Can’t you see?
None more pure, love was shown
And you fell to your knees

Picture Perfect
02:13
|
|
||
|
A life taken, a heart broken
Fell on silent cobbled streets
A redbrick canvas
Dulled to monochrome
They say it’s atmosphere
And in silence we walk away
You could have painted anything
And I know you tried
How we align it
Picture perfect all along
Is anything really
How you imagined it to be?
Through our senses
Led astray
They say it’s atmosphere
And in silence we walk away
You could have painted anything
And I know you tried
We gathered our stories
Shared our worries
For rain and grey
To wash it all away
Just like light and sound we fade
Absent rhythm
Left with rhyme
The ache and restlessness we feel
Absent pain
Left in time
A chance taken, a door opened

Grace
02:42
|
|

Are we to let it burn
Await monuments to fall
What comparison can be made
When we search for greatness
Only to see our shame
Another something to leave beyond
Another something to leave behind
Many will rise in their loss
To lean on each other
Under weight and waiting
For a familiar face
Is this grace?
Conducting in solitary
Without gravity or consequence
Just timely worry and woe is me
A skip in the cycle
A slow in the beat
What comparison can be made
No greatness should be obtained
Many will weep at their loss
The strength it takes
To lie in wake
Of what we cannot replace
Is this grace?
To all fall down hand in hand
To all rise in truth and see it through
Another something to see beyond
Another someone to hold on to

Those Days
02:25

Withered by heat
We’re moving through
Giants brush our shoulders
Was Manchester fooled?
We’re rolling people
Or so we thought
All that’s left behind
Just a knock of the door
As if they were not ever here
Those days are over
As moorland burns
The city changes face
We remain and search to seek
Our place
As if they were not ever here
Those days are over

This album is electric. From the first track it's nonstop chaos and fun, and was a great way to start my journey into thrash metal and hardcore.

Grim Wisdom
by Age of Apocalypse
supported by 6 fans who also own “Call It a Life”
Compelling metallic hardcore with an unusual, but welcomed take on vocals. Matching more of a sound akin to Type O Negative meets Integrity, it shreds through wonderfully varied powerful songs. Roaring in scope, there are many moments of more traditional furiousity, but most of the album maintains an air of spectacle due to the vocals. Not theatric, but they add a presence to the album. The guitars are properly riff filled, and the drums carry everything along with battering precision.
