There was I
Then you
Then us
Forging fire from dust
Breathe again aflame my love
No sun burns bright enough
No sun burns bright enough
Open palms wait for your grace
Once more caress I’ll take
Oh the memory of your touch
No sun burns bright enough
No sun burns bright enough

Monument
05:12
|

Portal opens
Glimpses of canyons
Motion deepens
With bones spread out
Radiant
A way into this place
Signs of revival emanate
I tried holding it back
But it’s inevitable
Whether we collide or if we
Falter
It hurts
This monument returns to dust
I’ll wait in the fold
I’ll free slaves with the bones
I could make it alone
But only you feel like home
You feel like home
Falter
It hurts
This monument returns to dust
And in dust I’ll abide
Whether we collide on the other side
The sum of our parts made everything
The sum of our parts made everything
The sum of our parts wrecked everything
The sum of our parts healed everything
The sum of our parts saved everything

Cut me loose
But I can’t get away from here
My path is overgrown
I’m just searching for a way to make it clear
‘Cause I’m a danger to myself
You know I can’t stand it when I can’t have you
And you need my blood to be fortified
I ‘give you a meaning’
I get nothing back
The psyche collapse
Pollution in the human form
Repulsed by your body
You open your mind
To let me inside
Pollution in the human form
Cling to her
Until she touches then you’re always paralysed
I can be anything you want but your lover
Cling to him
Feel him split and watch the reason leave my mind
Obsession divine
In it’s grip I am crucified
I ‘give you a meaning’
I get nothing back
The psyche collapse
Pollution in the human form
And oh, right there, right there, right there, right there, right there
Dominate me till I don’t even care
Oh if you reach for me I’m coming around again
Oh if I reach for you you’re going to ground again
Oh it’s an ecstasy to bleed out until we ruin ourselves
Ruin
Ruin every
Ruin everything
I’m a danger to myself
You’re a danger to yourself
It’s the thrill that makes us whole again
I ‘give you a meaning’
I get nothing back
The psyche collapse
Pollution in the human form
Repulsed by your body
You open your mind
To let me inside
Pollution in the human form
Oh right there, right there, right there, right there, right there
Dominate me till I don’t even care

Day
Night
I’m a toiler to the narrative
Too lost to live
Fail
Fight
Scrawl the pages full till it’s too late
Suffocate
The words I fear most are my own
Crawling like fever in my home
It sucks the life out of me
Breathing in deep space
I gotta kill it oh
Kill it and take it’s place
Ride down
Hidden chambers that they impregnate
Still and hide your blade
Time wait
Summon sisters to the incantate
Disappear I say
Right down right down till the fall
I am master of it all
The words I fear most are my own
Crawling like fever in my home
It sucks the life out of me
Breathing in deep space
I gotta kill it oh
Kill it and take it’s place
Oh it seems impossible
To make it out at all
The words I fear most are my own
Crawling like fever in my home
It sucks the life out of me
Breathing in deep space
I gotta kill it oh
Kill it and take it’s place

Terrifying love
Come to me
Holy one
Why won’t you leave
Temper the pain
And hold me now
When you’re stood in your way
Fear invades
Just remember all unfolds in all reaction
When you can’t see for pain
Terror reigns
Lean into the alchemy
Allow it to be
The more you try to give it to yourself
The more you release
The more you try to give it to yourself
The more you complete
The more you try to give it to yourself
Temper the pain
And hold me now
The more you try to give it to yourself
Temper the pain
And hold me now
When you’re stood in your way
Fear invades
Just remember all unfolds in all reaction
When you can’t see for pain
Terror reigns
Lean into the alchemy
Allow it to be
You held the key
And I believed
You held the key
And I believed
Want to be one
Disintegrate all this

Blood Rites

Begin, begin
Can you see the chariots are closing in
I’m born to win
Death or glory for this story I live in
I visited desire today
I’m burdened by my mind and I’m
Feeling everything
Feeling everything
Take the fall
Hit the mark wrecked it all
Anaesthetised till I don’t know about it
Fallen one if you fear your god you should run into the fire
Destroyer, pariah
Phantom
Covered, cloaked and hidden in your lies
Now you’re looking into my eyes
Fortunes tell
Your fortunes built till they fell
I can anticipate the rage is coming
In your cell
I’ll invite you into my hell
Where no one can see you
And no one can tell
Phantom
Covered, cloaked and hidden in your lies
Now you’re looking into my eyes
Phantom
Nothing you can do will stop the flood
And we’re coming for blood
Falter
Collide with every step
I’m at the bottom and I got nothing left
Phantom
We’re coming for
We’re coming for your blood

Twin Heart Beat

The winter of me has no end in sight yet
Each bud upon my branches curled and tightened
But in my dreams the spring will bring to me a revelation
The rays that come from your touch coax me open
Chroma kaleidoscope of colours unfurl
Between this man, this boy
This woman, this girl
He’s summoning my summer
Building heat
Where we two meet as one
He’s brighter than the sun
My eyes caressing your form
Are you with me lover
Twin heart beat
Your skin keeping mine warm
Won’t you join me lover
In my deep
A thousand petals falling over our heads
Cries unison announcing our little deaths
The fall into each other
We slip so deep we’re never coming back
The colours fade to black
My eyes caressing your form
Are you with me lover
Twin heart beat
Your skin keeping mine warm
Won’t you join me lover
In my deep
It’s raining down
Inside
This ice will melt
My only demand
Hold this flood in your hand
Until you’re whole again
Tear apart your form
And be free

Elision
03:55
|

|
Marked man
Bleeding
Meritorious
I fall at the feet of the words you’re speaking
Craven
Breathing
This elision holds far more weight than the words before it
Water wants to run
But you drown in the depths and the fear took your tongue
Still life finds a way
My love you cannot speak of it
But there’s a language for this
You split the sun to exist
All alone in the dark place
Every move you make with grace
But they’re tearing at your mind
And they’re pulling you inside
To the things you cannot face
Into the sun
Where the dreaming, feared-separate souls become one
So burn
My love you cannot speak of it
But there’s a language for this
You split the sun to exist
Pandora has you by the neck
But you made a language for this
Your crucifixion and gift
Every sound is a sacrifice
Open flower-like to the light
New dawning
Watch the old ways break
My love you cannot speak of it
But there’s a language for this
You split the sun to exist
Pandora has you by the neck
But you made a language for this
And I’m learning to speak it

Mortal souls
Blended by time and gold
The strong arms that held on
Release the form
Hours crumble monoliths to dust
And hours build monuments to love
And in every tear
The heart of repair
In every tear
The heart of repair
In every tear
The art of repair
Embrace the course this takes
We leave with grace
Hours crumble monoliths to dust
And hours build monuments to love
And in every tear
The hope for repair
In every tear
The hope for repair
In every tear
The dawn of repair
Could it be, could it be, could it be
Too delicate to endure
Could it be, could it be, could it be
More beautiful than before
And wild hearts must
Wild hearts must be

Reunion

Wake up
The way is gone
Who holds the void holds it all
Fragile ships thrown upon the waves
Shackled to the rise and fall
I ask it why
I ask it why
I ask it why I see but cannot feel the light
Born to destroy all of creation
I was ready to burn and bury the dirt of it
But I’m a diamond
Under pressure the thoughts of the familiar collapse
I bleed self till there’s nothing left
There’s nothing left
Nothing but breath
Signifying my death
The Light

Nice to hear some of the experiments with each track Some are a little too busy in places but it's not a bad listen at all.

'Blue Heart Rate' was the first Lionface song I ever heard.I was doing the washing up on a Saturday evening and was stopped in my tracks via BBC Bristol Introducing program.It builds and builds gloriously. Kat Marsh's full vocal range is on display here.I am normally not a Dance music fan but their is a unique Rock edge to it that satisfies the Rocker in me.I have seen the band live since and hope their is more to come from this great 3/4 piece outfit.

This is the first in a series of weekly album reviews published by Andrew Dubber. If you haven’t already caught it, please check out his introductory post. There’s been talk of an 80s revival of one sort or another since long before the 80s even came to an end. Some long for the angular rhythms … Continue reading Album of the Week: Laminate Pet Animal →
