lyrics

That stupid sunrise on this empire of mine
Left me blind into thinkin’ right
Shame over my throne for I let arise
The beast inside that was cravin’

For the remnants of the quest what’s left
What is worth fighting for
But consequences as we walk on by
Yeah walk on by the dying

You’ve got to break out of these chains son
The price I paid the king’s ransom
For this coat of arms dedication
The price I paid the king’s ransom

That stupid sunset at the end of the line
Bares my ending my depicted truth
Dead flesh and bones a thousand would rise
In a wish to gaze upon it

For the remnants of the quest what’s left
What is worth dying for
But great sadness as they walk on by
Yeah walk on by the dying

You’ve got to break out of these chains son
The price I paid the king’s ransom
For this coat of arms dedication
The price I paid the king’s ransom

You’ve got to break out of these chains son
The price I paid the King’s Ransom
For this coat of arms abdication
The price I paid the king’s ransom

Matchless Montreal, Québec

The missing link between Johnny Burnette and Black Sabbath! They’re custom made and they’ve earned their gold ticket straight to Hell. Fast and raw, it finds no place for compromise. Limitless, driving on the left lane, Ennio Morricone earworms beating through a hotrod engine in flames. Hear what it sounds like when you’ve got only one bullet left and nothing to loose. ... more
