about
This is the first single, from the upcoming debut album, by The Dark Monarchy. Musically its very melodic with lots of guitars, heavy drums, and lots of symphonic parts. Lyrically it speaks about poverty and homelessness.
lyrics
You're lying in the doorway,
You're trying to crack a smile.
You're dying on a good day,
Like a pet thrown to the wild.
You see the parade of painful splendour,
These heartless, thankless bitter-enders.
We can't see, we can't see you.
We can't feel, we can't feel you.
We can't hear, we can't hear you.
We won't see, we won't see you.
You're causing an obstruction,
A reminder we don't need.
We don't want a discussion,
Roll over and concede.
You feel your body crash and wither,
You shower in the rains of winter.
We can't see, we can't see you.
We can't feel, we can't feel you.
We can't hear, we can't hear you.
We won't see, we won't see you.
There's a beam above your head,
That's a perfect space to make a bed.
They'll paint your faces on the walls,
And that is progress after all.
We can't see, we can't see you.
We can't feel, we can't feel you.
We can't hear, we can't hear you.
We won't see, we won't see you.
You've found your burrow,
You've found a hole you can call your own.
Sleep through tomorrow,
On your new throne by the road.
You've found your burrow,
You've found a hole you can call your own.
Sleep through tomorrow,
You've found a tomb you can call your home.

The Dark Monarchy consists of Mark Anthony K (Projekt Gemineye) and Joe Bailey (Joe Bailey). After contributing some vocals
to the latest Projekt Gemineye album, Mark and Joe decided to work on some songs together. The results were so good they decided that it would be a shame not to form a band and release them. With that said...so begins The Dark Monarchy....more
Well played and produced prog rock, presented by a musician passionate about his craft. And who wouldn’t love those Rush influences. Just great music. mjbb61
