Wastelands

from Obolus by Lay Siege

lyrics

Surely there’s more?
With eyes still new, I haven’t seen enough
I can’t settle
There’s a burning sense that something’s flawed
Should I ignore
Such strong thoughts and carry on?
Days fade away
All to often, all too quick

Wandering through the boneyards
Twisted snarls wait in shadow
Hyenas salivate as I navigate
Mislabelled signs will lead me in circles

The ground could swallow us up tonight
Blindly I could fall into the marsh
This task is arduous, but it’s worth the fight
The ground could swallow us up tonight

Lost and alone you’ll find yourself prone
To the vultures that swarm round your head
Lost and alone you’ll find yourself prone
To the vultures that swarm above your head

Yours To Defend
by ACODA

ACODA have been supporting us since the beginning, and we probably would have gotten nowhere and packed it in before now without them. This album is absolutely incredible and is well worth your time! Lay Siege
