about

This was the 2nd single released earlier this year. It also has a lyric video available to watch on Youtube. The lyrics of this song are about the current global situation regarding Covid-19..and the different ways people are reacting to it.

lyrics

I can seize, I can freeze more than I require,

I'll bury you under these shelves.

We convene every day in a quenchless fire,

It's every man for himself.

I can't fight this irrational desire,
I need and therefore I shall have.

We'll complain that the world has gone haywire,

Then burn everyone in our path.

We won't do as we're told,

What a sight to behold.

And we follow the cluster because we have to,

They panic and we follow suit.

And we swim through the hot water together,

Bathing in bitter dispute.

Now that I cannot leave I can feel the twitching,

I won't do what I have been told.

I can feel the revulsion, hear the bitching,

No fucks for the young nor the old.

We won't do as we're told,
What a sight to behold.

Open a hole in the ground, make a pit for all the

Fools who don't know how to turn around,

In a broken era.

Digital faces and sounds, they are here but not here,

Before we can breathe, we must drown,

Let's not wash ourselves away.

Waiting and praying for headaches of old.

Yearning and craving our fool's gold.

I can't fight this irrational desire,

I need and therefore I shall have.

We'll complain that the world has gone haywire,

Then burn everyone on our path.

We won't do as we're told,

What a sight to behold.

Open a hole in the ground, make a pit for all the

Fools who don't know how to turn around,

In a broken era.

Digital faces and sounds, they are here but not here,

Before we can breathe, we must drown,

Let's not wash ourselves away.

Waiting and praying for headaches of old.

Yearning and craving our fool's gold.

The Dark Monarchy Brampton, Ontario

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
