lyrics

In the autumn of your years when the grave begins to loom Consider your accomplishments and prepare to meet thy doom Who will read the manuscripts when the writing's on the wall Or wonder at the palette that you used to paint it all? Art lives on, although life is fleeting So sing your song while your heart's still beating And leave a little of yourself behind Forget the money, open up your mind Your every trite experience is destined to be binned And the stash you laboured at will get scattered to the wind Who will have the earworms buried in the head Of future generations long after you're dead? Art lives on, although life is fleeting So sing your song while your heart's still beating And leave a little of yourself behind That we might all celebrate mankind

We Never Had It So Good

about

Written and recorded in the wake of the pandemic, we present Blackout; our dark masterpiece. A gothic treatise on mortality and the decline of civilisations - not so much a mid, more an end of life crisis. But nil desperandum! We have sugared the pill with great tunes and killer riffs aplenty. It was the least we could do.
