lyrics

What kind of world do you think you live in
You've crossed forbidden gates in broad daylight, so take it on the chin
Through dusk and dawn, I hope you've learned
No matter how good your intentions are, playing with fire will get your burned

A wiser man could have foreseen
The upshot of my steps shadowing me, a mental guillotine
I know the past can't be erased
Accusing fingers jammed inside my throat, give my words an awful taste

When your head's been hurled by everyone
And only you who can tell the course
Of lies being spread astray by the leader of the scoundrels
A bounty's offered for my life tonight

Confined in cosmic field when the dust can blend to rain
Stronger now, and brighter than any star
So many questions asked but the answers were in vain
Disavowed, I'll tie up, my burning scar

I guess I will be a hoodlum

Far away, I've been blown
The stench of blood will lead
Dogs at my door tonight
Their master's end above me will hover
On this day, I atone
And for my evil deed
I'm alone tonight
Not to misspend, time to run for cover

When your head's been hurled by everyone
And only you who can tell the course
Of lies being spread astray by the leader of the scoundrels
A bounty's offered for my life tonight

Confined in cosmic field when the dust can blend to rain
Stronger now, and brighter than any star
So many questions asked but the answers were in vain
Disavowed, I'll tie up, my burning scar

Disappear, fade away

If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way. Scott Malthouse

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good. playfulpooka

Stumbled upon this gem by accident. The band itself has been recommended to me by a friend many moons ago. So damn catchy. bugomag
