To Tame a Man Atrocities beyond imagination Wars without an explanation What god tolerates all this torture What man accepts all this murder ChorusX2 To Tame man The beast he hides The terror inside To tame a man His evils ways Answering our prayers A savage since the dawn of time With bloody hands soaked in crime No Rolex can disguise the animal No Prayer can absolve the criminal A sadist getting high on the kill Its stench arouses the barbaric instinct A Rapist of beauty and free will Remorse and sympathy will become extinct ChorusX2 ChorusX2

The Age of Mediocracy No Risks, follow the rules Be stale, and please the fools don’t think, Just stay in line Don’t dream, everything is fine Chorus 1: Your Tv preacher for you Your google Searches for you Your facebook ”newsfeeds” you Your big brother watching over you Chorus 2X2: The legends are dead Forgotten in history The Greats that have led Banished to memory Don’t speak, sit and obey yes sir, Everything is A-Ok Don’t ask, Go with the flow Conform and Enjoy the show Chorus 1 We’ve written the text book to abide by Freedom of speech, just don’t ask why Be nice, Be a good boy Welcome to Mediocracy Chorus 2X2 Welcome to Mediocracy Welcome to Mediocracy

Never Leave Me No biblical floods No modern day catastrophes their aftermath dissipates Humbled in reverence Of a solemn tear from thee The heavens tremble The wrath of God bestowed upon me Coz it is I The perpetrator Of such unfathomable misery Chorus: Never Never Leave me Never Your weeping smile Gazes directly at me Piercing my soul Engulfing my heart With shame and misery Chorus The Shackles of Love Confining my destiny tomorrow drifts further away Fading away Beyond what my eyes can ever see Your echoing words My tormentor until eternity Your suffocating words Never Leave me Rest my weary head On your breast and comfort me With a kiss Bid me farewell And set me free Chorus Your echoing words My tormentor until eternity Your suffocating words Never Leave me

The Land of Cedars Let me tell you a story About the child that died let me tell you a story About the smile that’s wiped He was born into family A normal one you see He was born into a family He was born to be free Let me tell you story It’s not a pretty one Let me tell you a story about the man on the run He was born in lands cedars He was born to be brave He was born in lands of dreamers His life will not be saved Chorus: The land of cedars The land of cedars Where time stood still The land of cedars The land of cedars The death of free will He was taught to be grateful He was taught to obey He was taught to be faithful to this land of dismay He was made a lot of good friends His future looked so bright He could not see his end A life filled with blight He worked hard for his penny He followed all the rules In hopes of a life of plenty Oh what an ignorant fool He has trust in the wrong leaders He put faith in these thieves He elected the bottom feeders They brought him to his knees Chorus Let me tell you a story About the man that cried Let me tell you a story About the smile that’s wiped He had faith in the land of cedars And failed to take a stand This is the death of the dreamer The death of this old man

Section 666 05:36
Section 666 Section 666 of the constitution Reserves the rights of the political elite Under no circumstance shall they be prosecuted for their robbery, murder and rape They shall continue to humiliate the people to steal and deprive them of their food They shall continue to kill the people And desecrate their graves Chorus In silence you shall mourn Your tears are inane In silence you shall mourn Their death is in vain We will not stand trial We will not pay for our mistakes We will continue to defile We will wait for your will to break We will not face justice For our crimes against your dead 200 hundred innocent lives are worthless We do not accept responsibility for this bloodshed Chorus The constitution it will protect us From your silly accusations The immunity it will provide us Against any litigations We are above the law It’s time for you to realize Your frustration will now grow As we feed you our lies Chorus Who do you think you are? There are no rights for slaves Just watch us from afar We will desecrate their graves Outro (repeat) Section 666 of the constitution Entitles us to desecrate their graves

about

New EP by Greyfade. The idea of this album and how it came to be is pretty different than the way I wrote and recorded my previous musical works. I was inspired by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis and how they recorded their album Carnage. I recall reading an interview with Warren and he described the process of recording this album. In short, Nick and Warren met after the Covid restrictions started to lift, and recorded an album that was basically improvised on the spot. They booked a studio for a certain amount of time, composed and recorded an album right then and there. AND it sounds brilliant! So beautiful and organic. No preparations, no demos, just pure musical chemistry and being right there in the moment. So, I decided to try that and adopt the same method for 2 main reasons.
