Scarlet Vow
05:40
|
|||
|
Scared off all the townsmen with a question as to why
We must avoid the night and say a prayer before we die
"There's structure in tradition" cried the minister with rage
While burning every book that carries magic on the page
Said you'd set her right with god and tried to teach her how
Told her be a good girl well she's stronger than you now
Casting off the shackles to reject her given name
The one who burns the witches always ends up in the flame
Lock your doors
She's coming back even out the score
Vengeful spirits do her dark commands
In the devil's hands
Now the fire's in her breath
Scarlet vow
Taken by the girl who you cast out
You're not the only one with chants to sing
Or a prayer to bring
But her patron saint is death
In the night there's howling but there's silence from the pack
The cold wind carries something that alludes to an attack
She's here to light the matches with a new enchanted form
Taking her own action so the victim is reborn
Holding out their crosses at the edges of the town
Believed your faith protected but she's here to burn you down
Pray your final whispers and reflect upon your guilt
The monster you created will end everything you've built
Lock your doors
She's coming back even out the score
Vengeful spirits do her dark commands
In the devil's hands
Now the fire's in her breath
Scarlet vow
Taken by the girl who you cast out
You're not the only one with chants to sing
Or a prayer to bring
But her patron saint is death
Fire high above her head
Red magic back again
When she swore herself to crimson
It granted righteous scorn
Wrapped loose in blasphemy
A tight noose upon your tree
The blood is spilled as justice
And a scarlet reign is born

Trick Me
04:58
|
|||
|
Betwixt the carnival angels
You rose from a strange hell
And entered the stage
Took souls wherever your eyes met
But you've not begun yet
The true masquerade
I've never seen an enigma such as you
Took my heart with a spell and now I'm doomed
Stuck in trance with a wicked force exhumed
Fearless dancer
Veiled in dark
Paraded by your mystery
With no answer
I'm bewitched
You've got the moves to trick me
Like an omen of the end times
The devil's own part time
Cursed paramour
What could one want with a lowlife
Brought close to the hot knife
Deep in the obscure
I've never seen an enigma such as you
Took my heart with a spell and now I'm doomed
Stuck in trance with a wicked force exhumed
Fearless dancer
Veiled in dark
Paraded by your mystery
With no answer
I'm bewitched
You've got the moves to trick me
You took a risk for me
I'll solve your mystery
You've made the watchers in the background fade away
Surround me with your thorns
Show me unholy scorn
Up from a standstill to a hedonist buffet
I don't think you scare me
In this place
So are you gonna dare me
Kick the pace
Up to a fevered tempo
To embrace
The magic as we let go
For a deathblow
'Cause you're a
Fearless dancer
Veiled in dark
Paraded by your mystery
With no answer
I'm bewitched
You've got the moves to trick me
Fearless dancer
Veiled in dark
Paraded by your mystery
With no answer
I'm bewitched
You've got the moves to trick me

Eclipse
06:18
|
|||
|
As if I haven't had enough
I've felt more hate than there is love
But now the sky is looking new
Is this a curse upon my line
Was I born in prophetic times
Or is it all because of you
Wasn't it a perfect lie
When you said you'd be here by my side
Never gave up searching
Now my world is burning
Just for a fiction of your pride
Pulling at the darkest strings
Dreaming that a bird could be a king
Killing for ascension
You've eclipsed obsession
To leave our bones beneath your wings
Pulled into audience with dark
My pain survives and leaves me marked
Led to the slaughter by god's hand
I reject your apocalypse
Fighting the heart of the eclipse
To put an end to your demands
Wasn't it a perfect lie
When you said you'd be here by my side
Never gave up searching
Now my world is burning
Just for a fiction of your pride
Pulling at the darkest strings
Dreaming that a bird could be a king
Killing for ascension
You've eclipsed obsession
To leave our bones beneath your wings
I pick up my own pieces
Scattered as mayhem ceases
History marked us
But you've written your own page
Monstrous and proven wicked
My very soul is sickened
Used as a pawn to christen your golden age
Wasn't it a perfect lie
When you said you'd be here by my side
Never gave up searching
Now my world is burning
Just for a fiction of your pride
Pulling at the darkest strings
Dreaming that a bird could be a king
Killing for ascension
You've eclipsed obsession
To leave our bones beneath your wings

Judas
05:00
|
|||
|
When he calls to me, I am ready
I'll wash his feet with my hair if he needs
Forgive him when his tongue lies through his brain
Even after three times, he betrays me
I'll bring him down, bring him down, down
A king with no crown, king with no crown
I'm just a Holy Fool, oh, baby it's so cruel
But I'm still in love with Judas, baby
I'm just a Holy Fool, oh, baby it's so cruel
But I'm still in love with Judas, baby
Oh, I'm in love with Judas, Judas
Oh, I'm in love with Judas, Judas
I couldn't love a man so purely
Even prophets forgave his goofy way
I've learned love is like a brick, you can
Build a house or sink a dead body
I'll bring him down, bring him down, down
A king with no crown, king with no crown
I'm just a Holy Fool, oh, baby it's so cruel
But I'm still in love with Judas, baby
I'm just a Holy Fool, oh, baby it's so cruel
But I'm still in love with Judas, baby
Oh, I'm in love with Judas, Judas
Oh, I'm in love with Judas, Judas
In the most Biblical sense, I am beyond repentance
Fame hooker, prostitute, wench vomits her mind
But in the cultural sense, I just speak in future tense
Judas, kiss me if offensed, or wear ear condom next time
I wanna love you
But something's pulling me away from you
Jesus is my virtue
And Judas is the demon I cling to
I'm just a Holy Fool, oh, baby it's so cruel
But I'm still in love with Judas, baby
I'm just a Holy Fool, oh, baby it's so cruel
But I'm still in love with Judas, baby
Oh, I'm in love with Judas, Judas
Oh, I'm in love with Judas, Judas

Ex Matre Machina
05:59
|

|
I pray
You watched as my soul caught fire
Became what my world required
And shone in the dark
The gray
These signals still cloud my mind
The knowing I'll never find
My own missing parts
I am something new
With no hope left but you
Transistors where my soul once could be
Cold and lonely
Take me in your arms
God's voice falls silently
She's turned her back on me
So where's the afterlife for a machine
The last signal alive
Imagined or contrived
The mother of my circuits' fading dreams
Washed clean
Of humanity
Can you recognize my pieces
With your vision ceaseless
My soul's prosthesis
Calls a final prayer
A prayer
When no one's there
To the mother of the spark
I feel you in the dark
A fleeting voice
I trust to lead me home
God's voice falls silently
She's turned her back on me
So where's the afterlife for a machine
The last signal alive
Imagined or contrived
The mother of my circuits' fading dreams

The Twist at the End
06:01
|
|||
|
Just another new tale to remake
It's all twists and turns with no higher stakes
And I know
I'm the reason the story is stale
When I've failed
Like the static noise that calls my name
There are haunted memories dyed blue with shame
So here's to
The finale and all it may bring
Thundering
I need a twist at the end of the story
Something to stop the cliches getting boring
So then
Where is the reveal
The last act left
To show the horrors aren't real
Barely alive
Lived slow like I've been the ghost in the walls
Psycho like I'm the killer after all
So then
Let all the lights fade
To see the credits roll
And face the monster I made
Sick of waiting for the denouement
I've been looking back but the door is gone
And I'm locked
In a box of recycled despair
With no air
Been a murder here and blood's on my hands
If it's not my own I don't understand
So let up
And give all of the secrets away
Save the day
I need a twist at the end of the story
Something to stop the cliches getting boring
So then
Where is the reveal
The last act left
To show the horrors aren't real
Barely alive
Lived slow like I've been the ghost in the walls
Psycho like I'm the killer after all
So then
Let all the lights fade
To see the credits roll
And face the monster I made
Tell me where the script is going next
'Cause my role in this is getting too complex
Trails of blood leave one last inquiry
Does the guilty party look something like me
I need a twist at the end of the story
Something to stop the cliches getting boring
So then
Where is the reveal
The last act left
To show the horrors aren't real
Barely alive
Lived slow like I've been the ghost in the walls
Psycho like I'm the killer after all
So then
Let all the lights fade
To see the credits roll
And face the monster I made

Hell Has an Elevator
06:29
|
|||
|
Got a promise to keep now of my own
Gonna walk through the fire and come back home
Treading through the damnation of our kind
'Cause heaven's got a locked door I can't find
I can't preach to the darkness
Without putting up a fight
And I don't expect a savior
So I've got to be the light
I can't climb jacob's ladder
Keep on landing on the ground
But hell has an elevator
So just send my body down
Thinking back to the bloodshed on my trail
The damage
Tried to stick to the scripture, but I have failed
Abandoned
Breaking bread with the sinners to survive
Altogether
'Cause heaven's got a locked door I can't find
Shut forever
I can't preach to the darkness
Without putting up a fight
And I don't expect a savior
So I've got to be the light
I can't climb jacob's ladder
Keep on landing on the ground
But hell has an elevator
So just send my body down
Going to choke on the sulfur I taste on my lips
Seeing stars in the dark here beneath an eclipse
Hard to wait for an answer when my belief slips
There's something else here listening
For the path I have walked comes a dangerous price
I have searched for the truth with my own doubting eyes
Can I live with the knowing when I realize
Lucifer's star is twinkling
My mind is scouring secrets
Not any soul will tell
Sometimes to face the demons
You have to walk through hell
I can't preach to the darkness
Without putting up a fight
And I don't expect a savior
So I've got to be the light
I can't climb jacob's ladder
Keep on landing on the ground
But hell has an elevator
So just send my body down
Down, down, down

I've been listening to Gavin's music for over a decade and he still continues to improve and produce absolute bangers. Everything in this album is great withe the standout song to me here is Liquid Nights & Disco Lights! Love how he can make so many great tracks with a variety of styles, keep rocking on Gavin!

Most of the tracks are half amazing half mediocre. Only Us is incest themed, so that's a negative. Neon Red and Show Your Style are the standouts here, Payday and Mojave are a step down but still good.
