cast away your dreams
and all those precious schemes
is all that we held dear
tossed aside replaced by fear
standing at the edge of the harbour
branded with the sins of my mother
will we ever learn
or simply let it burn
if it's answers you seek
let's jump into the sea
the bellowing we hear
it surrounds us, drawing near
we often fantasize
how to find life's biggest prize
everyone's above it 'til they're put in their place
everyone's a killer 'til a gun's in their face
tempted by the sound of violence, let me drown
stay humble, shut your mouth
you must not make a sound
Stumble to a sprint, see them floating
kinder, gentler souls have no place here
Send them off to sleep
wave and fare them well
for the answers we seek
stare at the sea
(running to the sea
the clearest, bluest sea
take all the things we learned
try to start again
tempted by the sound
the call to burn the ground
so restless...)

Storm And Stress

there are those afraid to merge
would rather walk a plank than learn
are you being entertained?
a hue and a cry then we'll do it again so...
storm
stress
conversation laid to rest
first
best
better to be heard than loved
(so let me tell you 'bout the) pretty people posturing
the less inclined wondering
once enthused, wandering
the rest of us left questioning
storm
stress
all that has been left to chance
first
best
if only i could make you laugh
woe will come to those who wait
dance till dawn and carry on
don't pretend it's for the best
scorch the earth and watch it burn
a new dark age can only thrive
on sheer blind faith in coin and man

Paper Tigers

paper tigers
ranting, raving for some action
the last to raise their hand
but first to load a question
the hypocrites are plenty
the sycophants are ready
those paper tigers
way too quick to take offense
too slow to make amends
decide or be dealt with
this isn't how we planned it
you disagree, you're guilty
so drunk with spite
constant buzzing of the soundbite
there is no here nor there
react, spin then redirect
this lusting quest for power
what once was yours is ours
ambition's a bore, we've seen it all before
when they're no longer trending, the charade is ending
so lay the blame on pigment
when it seems the most convenient
attention is the currency
no such thing as decency
this modern age is just a stage
this modern age is just a...phase
i once had a thought so clear
something i once held dear
so blame it on the government
blame it on the rising rent
attention is the currency
no such thing as decency
this modern age is just a stage
this modern age is just a...phase

The Mystic Underground New York
Life...set to a dance beat. The soundtrack of your trials and tribulations. Injecting a generous dollop of drama along with
extra helpings of synths and sass into an otherwise dreary and desolate musical landscape is what The Mystic Underground are here to offer. A collision of sounds. A thoughtful and whimsical blend of man versus machine.
Welcome.

Saw Kanga last night in Houston , instantly was entranced by her sound , sucked me into the Kangakult vortex , so glad I got to see her live , should have looked into her sooner as Gary Numan was so supportive of her on the Revolution tour , oh now it’s time to catch up and get further involved

Three new songs and three remixes from Italian darkwavers Ash Code will surely grace goth club speakers once we can go pick cobwebs again.
