Truth And Illusion
04:15

He's got the strength to listen
To what you have to say
And if he just can't stand it
He can always walk away
He can take your offence
Conflict's part of life
One can recover from the pen
But rarely from the knife
Truth and illusion
Confusion, self-delusion
Fact and misdirection
Deliberate disconnection
There's no river
but they say we need a bridge
there's nothing to be scared of
but they're telling us there is
If it's often repeated
A lie can be made truth
Confidence grows over time
and no-one demands proof
Big money and legacy
Power games and immortality
Is it a means
or just an end
it's there no matter what he pretends
They say we've got liberty
that we can speak without fear
then why's it so dangerous
to say what they don't want to hear

A Thing Called Evil
05:39
|
|

|
We can attempt to understand
the things that we fear
but there are those who seek to take them
far away from here
demons to be exorcised
is there a cure to be applied
redemption, even salvation
steps towards a transformation
What is this thing that we call evil
the violation of a right
to cease from mental fight
what is this thing
We can attempt to explain why
some horror has occured
but burning in the heat of hysteria
the broken hearted can be heard
another battle to be waged
turn off our heads while emotions rage
a thought towards the other side
a quantum of empathy to be applied
What is this thing that we call evil
the violation of a right
to cease from mental fight
what is this thing

Dead Weight
04:40
|

|
There's pressure on the surface
Pressure in the sky
The pressure rises and pressure falls
There's pressure on us all
Pushing away the things he fear
He shouts and screams and fights
He's at the centre of the fire now
He's got red in his sights
Anger with out action is just dead weight
A push without direction is just dead weight
He's heating up the surface
He's heating up the sky
Temperatures rising like a furnace now
He's got to let out
He's in a heap and uncomfortable
Throwing away the blame
Does he swelter till and burn and hurt
Or step out of the flame?
Anger with out action is just dead weight
A push without direction is just dead weight

Grain By Grain
04:21
|
|||
|
staring back through tinted lenses
too dark to see the sun
desperate to relive our yesterdays
we don't think about today
Grain by grain
the sand slips away
a little faster
with every passing day
racing onward to the future
while the present falls away
chasing moments that are slipping
we'll never relive today

Morning Jigsaw

A Formal Horse are unlike any other progressive or rock band out there at the moment. Both E.Ps are essential and they deliver the goods as a live band as well. Go and check them out!

A very promising debut EP from Suffolk metal band Cardinal. Idiosyncratic lyrics and creative guitar sounds sit alongside thundering grooves that combine old-school and modern stylings. Check it out!

Power and passion and punchy songwriting sits alongside a newly-found experimental streak on this triumphant release by our friends Kaine - the hardest working unsigned metal band out there today!
