Run stranger, run!

Different directions
It’s always hard to choose
The past or a distant future
Or change it all today
Choose the paranoia
Or embrace the possibilities
You won’t be disappointed
If you see a faded world
Oh, we’re lost inside the void
And we can see the door
But you won’t let us out
We don’t wanna stay and
We don’t wanna go
You say Run stranger, run
No, we can’t go on following
Psychopath men sowing seeds full of hatred and fear
We don’t belong here
We don’t believe
Lies falling like dust
Over the haunted buildings we see from the window below
Watch the tide sweep us away
I still hear the sirens
The echo lingers on
We never hear the silence
We only hear the scream
If you fly above it all
You see it so much clearer
If you see it from a distance
You know just what to do

Burn the ground
05:34

It’s everything I want to be
I feel it inside of me
A power that make you believe
One day the tide will turn
Everything I used to be
Is fading
it’s history
A new world to call my own
I know it’s gonna be good
I decieve everyone that I trust
I turn everything to dust
I cry as I burn the ground
And no one can stop the fire
It's in everyone
I stand in the garden of light
It’s time to embrace the night
I’m secretly fighting for you
They’ll never take me alive
They will pay for what they’ve done
Hear the thunder rolling in
It’s my way to smile within
And even at the break of day
The whole world is shivering
And now I’m everywhere
I’m fire I am despair
I’ll do it all over again

Before the end
06:46
|
|

I hope I will be able to show you
All the beautiful things in life
All the magic around us
All the good things you can do
I hope I will be able to tell you
The true meaning of everything
I’ll keep you safe from bitterness
I’ll make the light surround you
Transforming
Our own blood
Into fire
It’s hurting
Go on flick the switch
Watch out it’s a big scam
Gotta let them know before the end
I’m dying
There’s a fountain here
But I wont taste the water
I see you all fading
We’re standing
But believe my words
The foundation is hollow
We just follow
I must admit I’m a coward
I don’t stand on the barricade
But I have learned from my mother
That it’s easy to be good.
There’s a voice that lingers on
It fills me up with sadness
Good days have come and gone
I’ll walk alone. I’ll stay behind
I’m gonna tell you all my secrets
I’m gonna make you understand life
I’m gonna help you cause I need to
I’m wanna put you on the right track
I’m gonna tell you that I’m sorry
I’m gonna try to understand you
Can you help me to resist them
Can you help me to defeat them
Trust love before the end comes
Show love before the end comes
Make love before the end comes
Share love before the end comes
We need love before the end comes
We need love before the end comes
We have time before the end comes
We have time before the end comes

March for ignorance

I don’t need a perfect world
As long as I’m more perfect than the people
More perfect than the gods
I don’t need nobody else
I only trust my intuition
My good looks and my charm
I don’t waste my time on people
I don’t waste my time at all
I only use my time when I feel
There’s a chance to end the world.
When I’m alone I see a demon on my shoulder
He tells me not to be afraid but I don’t trust him
I just want to be myself
Pull the curtain see the sun
But I am finding many friends
In this march for ignorance
I’m here but I’m not there
I orbit my own universe
I cruise around my stars
Oooo I’m closer than you think
I’m always there when you’re in trouble
Always there to help you understand my trut

Still feels like magic
07:10

I unite my friends
They hear me speak inside their heads
I bring all the answers
There is nothing I regret
I woke up all the dead
They bring me flowers when I sleep
My best friend is a demon
And my girl’s a withered rose
You say I’m slowly losing it
I hope one day you will believe me
This still feels like magic
And we all drown in euphoria
It’s where we go
The secret word make us disappear
Fear nothing
I believe your lies
They bring me comfort when I’m weak
I would not be here
If we all cared about the truth
Speak up, I can’t hear you
Do you have something left to say
Boy, I do respect you
But I can’t afford your trust
|

Would you crack the sky?
04:23
|
|

Close the door and listen very carefully
I have found a way to make your past life disappear
Imagine all the crazy things we’ve done before
Locked inside a little secret box lost in a dream
What would you do if time was in your control and the past was gone
Would you be good
Or would you rise like a tyrant
Enslaving the ones you don’t like
Kill all the others and sit all alone on your throne.
Ooooh would you destroy all stars
Would you erase all the trees
Then would you crack the sky
Secrecy is all we need
I accidentally told someone
All about my great discovery
Imagine living side by side
A perfect world where no-one knows
A single thing bout fear and tragedy

A ghost came one day
06:02
|
|

In my garden there’s a portal
Where dreams are flowing out
I keep it as my secret
I keep it as my own
But one day came a ghost
And it made my garden grey
It took away the yellow
And it took away the red
I don’t know the right way to
The city of the dead
I will look for darkness
I will search inside my head
Patience is all I've ever learned
And silence is all I'm hearing
I walk against the wind I feel alone
And suddenly the world stops turning
I see it so much clearer now
Now when Everything is over
In the desert there's a fountain
Where the desperate people drink
We use it to remind us of the days when we were free.
But one day came a ghost and it made me understand
Underneath the surface there's a darker shade of gray.
A window is open
I slowly walk right through it
And follow the trail where everybody lose their
Need to control life
And every single moment
The weather, the little things that make us go insane
My garden is dying
All colours gone forever
But now it dont matter
Cause I can’t find my way home anymore

A messenger was sent across the border
And silent men were dressed to kill
We will fight the new world order
We will sacrifice our blood
Rest your head upon my shoulder
I will make you strong again
See the brothers getting older
See the treasure turn to dust
We got stuck when we found the solution
We lost lost track when we realized
To spread hate is no good for humanity
To share love is everything
We found the stairway to the stars
We walked into a distant future
We saw what we had done
The spark had turned to fire
We travelled on an endless river
We saw the bridges turn to dust
I never thought
I never thought I was a monster
Killing everyone
Don’t even need a gun
Just say the same all words
Over and over
Hit between the eyes
I give them all my lies
The earth is shaking and the
Airs getting colder
I had a dream last night
I got it out of my head
It just my way to survive
Don’t wanna end up dead
Believe me I don’t wanna be here at all
It’s not enough to say I’m sorry
I did it all over again
I didn’t think that it was easy
I didn’t think that it was good
One day we saw a mountain
In a trance we climbed so high
I lost the weight upon my shoulders

There’s a price on my head now
There are rings on the water
There is tension in the air wherever I go
There’s a ghost in my bed now
There are wolves in my house now
It’s a rough situation
I blame it on the black and I blame it on the blue
I can feel it coming I don’t know just what to do
Celebrate poverty
Poison humanity
Calibrate insanity
Make everybody suffocate
Maybe one day you will cry yourself to sleep
Find your true self and a place where you can sit and watch the flood
With people who believed you
Consider it a work of art
It’s like an exhibition
What would you do if you could do it all again
Would you seduce them
Would you help them see the truth
Would you win or would you lose, lose again
There’s a fire in the basement
I try to put it out with gasoline
I’m chopping heads with a guillotine
Oh my lord I’m a sinner but you’ve got a price to
I can’t deny
I wanna buy you and help you out
It’s a beautiful creation
It’s a piece of fine art
I pull the drapes and I look out
At my own Mona Lisa
I wanna share it on Instagram
I wanna share it on Twitter
I wanna share it with the Romans
It’s my beautiful empire
It’s all I’ve ever dreamed of
The greatest moment in the history of mankind
Mushroom clouds on the horizon
A great flood sweeping cross the fields
And I’m sitting here in my fortress of steel
Making plans for a new age
A new dawn, a new religion
Oh dad it was just a mistake I made
Didn’t mean to hurt you all so bad
Can you hear me?
Is anybody out there?
Hello, hello
I’m in my tower
On the top of the world
Safe but abandoned by everyone
Let me do it all over
I will do it right this time
Consider it a work of art

Nothing here and there will never be
Smile and laughter
It’s gone forever
Once There was a spark in my machine
I tried to fix it
But it was broken
I spent my days
Looking through the window
I was silent like the winter
I Lost my mind
And I sold my eyes
It didn’t make me sad
But I realized I could never see you smile
Paint the world gray
I don’t need colours
Breathe again my dear and let me go
Welcome to my shrinking universe
I know you´re with me
At least you’re in me
I could travel on an endless sea
But I don’t want to cause I’m no sailor
I could have saved the whole humanity
But I didn’t need to
Cause I was no saviour
I know the song
I know the rhymes
I know the verse
I know the end
I have the strength
I can pretend
It wasn’t right
An accident
Join me now and play charades
Oh my lord it was just an evil plan
Didn’t understand
I didn’t understand
The higher I go
The further see
That the world is mine
So I’m going down
Leave me here I’m almost dead
I am the wine and I’m the bread

Perhaps a softer, more “pop-forward” album compared to Inmazes and Witness however equally as effective. Vola simply know how to make approachable and great music. 8/10
