about

More metallic than usual, fitting the subject matter. Hardly original, but I hope universal; we all have times when we only see what's wrong, and it makes a lot of sense to burn down the world, even if that means you go with it.

Recorded in Staunton VA, with a bitchin' acoustic bass, as all heavy metal should have.

lyrics

Ignite, defy the laws of sound, hold my ground and then come spinning,
Right, no more will I be wrong; sing my song and stand there grinning.
And as the laws of time give way before me,
You will see that I’m the one, you’ll all adore
This sight, I will ignite.

A heart is like a crystal, keep it safe.
No matter what the setting, time will show each little scar.
And in this world we live in, sometimes every word’s designed
To test each facet and to prove precisely just how flawed we are.
So how do I continue without everything I’ve lost?
And how do I begin to start again?

I’m picking up a message now I couldn’t hear before.
I broke the code around us and I finally know the way.
The numbers tell the story and I’m following the signs, but please
Believe me now I hear I you, I hear every word you say.
So how you continue without anything at all?
And how do you begin to say goodbye?
You say you’re sad, but even in this world of Darkness
All we need’s a spark, this
Tinder lights this timber lights this forest lights the sky!

So how do I continue after everything I’ve lost?
Well now it seems so crystal clear to me,
This crystal magnifies the sun we see
And when it’s done I’ll be so glad to pay the cost.

Ignite, defy the laws of sound, hold my ground and then come spinning,
Right, no more will I be wrong; sing my song and stand there grinning.
And as the flames obscure my field of vision,
I’ll be sure that I have reached my last decision
Right, I will ignite.
