I Lucifer 07:17
Mark:
 I think you think too much Take my hand, I'll save you.
 You need an angel's touch I've seen Heaven, I'll show you. Joe:
 And I made this bed a long time ago So come rest your weary head. Mark:
 You think you drink too much But it's a vice worth keeping.
 You have the human touch And Judas is just sleeping. Joe: 
And I've ruled this world for centuries gone by So come toast your icy toes. I was the seal of perfection Fighting curtains stitched by God. 
Perfect in beauty, the anointed cherub Ditched and left to rot.
 I dared to question, dared to think I dared to doubt divinity.
 I'll reign in Hell forevermore It's a kind of Heaven, come and see... And I have played cards with the King of Kings We go back years and years.
 The monsters heat your heart over time And darkness will burn your tears. Mark:
 I think you think too much Take my hand, I'll save you.
 You need an angel's touch I am Heaven, I'll show you. I am the darkness and the light, I am the holy trinity. 
I'll reign in Hell forevermore, It's a kind of Heaven, come and see...

Mark: I am gonna remove the sun from out of the sky I’ll drain the sea, and leave the rivers running dry. The waterfalls will flow the bloodiest red. I’ll leave your lives hanging on by the tiniest thread. Joe: All I know is that I need to; place my demons all around you, I can’t hold onto this burden anymore. I want to smile like I used to, have some skin to cut into, ‘cause I have got no spare flesh anymore. Mark: I am gonna smother each and every star. I’ll bruise the moon, and give this earth an animal scar. The trees will collapse, the ground will split and detach. All the planets will be under attack. Joe: My mind is a tornado, Yearning for a place to go. My heart is a volcano, Burning for a life it'll never know. Joe: All I know is that I need to; place my troubles all around you, I can’t hold onto this burden anymore. I want to live like I used to, live the life that I once knew, I can’t take this torture anymore. Mark: I am gonna remove the sun from out of the sky I’ll drain the sea, and leave the rivers running dry. The waterfalls will flow the bloodiest red. I’ll leave your lives hanging on by the tiniest thread. Joe: My mind is a tornado, Yearning for a place to go. My heart is a volcano, Burning for a life it'll never know.

Open your life Up for the world to see.
 Scroll down and swipe up Happy and carefree. We consent to the time and the minds of a million prying eyes, We subscribe to a life in a day where these aliens know our lies. Scrobble your style and nature, Distribute all your failures. You want to reach me You do not know me. Scan through and click send You have so many friends. We allow and approve of the tracking of our every move. We cannot and will not cover tracks when we broadcast all our truths. Stranger please take my secrets, Stranger, you are my weakness. My life on my sleeve Unconcealed, on your screens, revealed at your fingertips. My world through the eyes of my spies They know the traits that have never left my lips. My life on my sleeve, unconcealed, on your screens, revealed at your fingertips. My world through the eyes of my spies, they know the traits that have never left my lips. My life on my sleeve, unconcealed. My life on your screens, my world revealed. We publish our wake ups, our break ups Our make ups, all eyes on our station. We transmit our good lucks, our fuck ups Nothing like too much information.

A penny for your sorrow I guess you never thought you’d ever see the end. There’s hope for tomorrow it’s been a lifetime waiting for the weekend. We’ll wave goodbye To the thorn in our side.
 Viral bullpen We hope we’ll never see you again. We need to be leery We don’t want to suffocate the light again.
 Believe in the theory Because a hopeless life is a broken Amen. We’ll wave goodbye To the thorn in our side.
 Viral bullpen We hope we’ll never see you again. Believe in tomorrow It’s been a lifetime waiting for all this to end. We’ll wave goodbye To the thorn in our side. 
Viral bullpen We hope we’ll never see you again.

I can judge and feel contempt.
 But I do not know where you were spent.
 We follow your ‘round like we all reside in an ivory tower And we’re stalking the prey and waiting And hoping that they will tremble and cower.
 And I know that most of you wish You could run at a hundred miles an hour,
 You’ve got hearts to weave, you’ve got mouths to feed And cold skin in an icy shower. Water, so cold. 
Out of control. I don’t want to lean to the right.
 Sometimes it’s hard to lament with the fight.
 The innocent hearts should never be ushered into pressure At no point in their lives did they ask for the right To be lost in the coldest weather.
 And sometimes I bet that you wish That you could just float away like a feather,
 From a world of sheep predesigned to leap At the mutants and the transgressors. We’re waiting for you To make your next move.
 We’ll compare us to you But we do not know you. All roads lead to Rome,
 But without wheels, there is nowhere to go.
 We can’t see through stone,
 And without heart, there is no way to know. 
All roads lead to Rome,
 But without wheels, there is nowhere to go. 
We can’t see through stone,
 And without heart, there is no way to know.

about

This is the 2nd album from The Dark Monarchy.
After the great reception of the debut record, the band went into writing sessions with full confidence. The results is a great album full of melody, great orchestration, fantastic bass and guitar playing.
The production has taken a real step forward. The sound is nice and full with punchy drums and bass, and great layered vocals.
