Maria V of Unhappily Ever Now I am floored. This new release is beautiful, intense and chaotic. It is original and new, yet familiar with whispers of Tori Amos from the Little Earthquakes years. I am in love!

Maria 05:15
We can’t escape what we have done We must face what we have become Desensitised emotionally numb Slave to the machine’s and the guns When more isn’t enough Well then that’s enough You’re choking out the love Will someone pull the lotus out of the mud? Maria ow ow ow Where are ya now Will you come out here Free us from fear Complacent safe and sound Morally devoid and down A new reality coming around She’s gonna lift us up from this down Maria ow ow ow To free ya how how Maria ow ow ow Free her and you’ll free us all Maria let the goddess appear Ow ow ow ow Where do we go now We struggle with the balance of power But the world is always changing somehow We can no longer take from her We can no longer deface her We can not replace her Earth Mother Maria ow ow ow To free ya how how how Maria ow ow ow Free her and you’ll free us all Complacent safe and sound Morally devoid and down A new reality coming around She’s gonna lift us up from this down The critics and the cynics abound They always trying to steal your power A new reality coming around She’s gonna lift us up to our crown Rebirth of a new Earth And a new sun Remember that we are one But so many things distorted through oppression Like the Devine, the Sacred, the Goddess the Feminine Oh Requiem

New Victim 05:41
If I run where will I go How will I know you won’t suck me back in This game’s getting old and so am I As well as tired of being the puppet on your string The dead end is nigh So put away your knife You’re no good at lying So give up the façade And all your fucking whining Power monger time to surrender Time you got a new victim Someone to target take for granted Someone to take your shit out on Power monger time to surrender Time you got a new victim Gullible good hearted Vulnerable you love it A toy for your manipulation You live for the differences Contrasting colours Contrasting values Vultures and martyrs But love and hate have a fine line Both of which can be blind In a narrow mind The dead end is nigh So put away your knife You’re no good at lying So give up the façade And all your fucking whining Power monger time to surrender Time you got a new victim Someone to target take for granted Someone to take your shit out on Power monger time to surrender Time you got a new victim Gullible good hearted Vulnerable you love it A toy for your manipulation Eeeeeeeeeee Heya owwwww Heya owwwww Heya owwwww Heya ow ow ow ah ah ow ow Your grudge is my forgiveness Your resistance my acceptance Your attachment my release So fuck off and leave me in Peace Peace Do you even know what that fuck’n word means? Just say the word You’ll save the world Just say the word forgive And let live Mother fucker time to surrender Time you got a new victim Someone to target take for granted Someone to take your shit out on Power monger time to surrender Time you got a new victim Gullible good hearted Vulnerable you love it A toy for your manipulation New Victim Get a New Victim Get a I want it fair want it fair Just to be seen as equal Want it fair want it fair Aren’t we all just equal? Fuck off and get a New Victim

Sick of It 05:40
Perplexed by the state of humanity As we reside sedate or in anxiety We could speak up against this society Instead we just drink up against our sobriety I’m sick of it of this shit Our world’s sick and I’m Sick of it These petty pathetic conflicts These shameful playground politricks These self evasive hypocrites These cold abrasive apathetics We’ve all got to own up to it Our world’s sick and I’m Sick of it As without ya know so within The turbulence it’s only a mirroring And illness prevails here Despite our wealth Do you think it’s to do with the alienation Of our natural selves I’m sick of it of this shit Our world’s sick and I’m Sick of it These petty pathetic conflicts These shameful playground politricks These self evasive hypocrites These cold abrasive apathetics We’ve all got to own up to it Our world’s sick and I’m Sick of it Sick Sick of It Aren’t you sick of it Perplexed by the state of humanity As we reside sedate or in anxiety We could speak up against this society Instead we just drink up against our sobriety I’m sick of it of this shit Our world’s sick and I’m Sick of it These petty pathetic conflicts These shameful playground politricks These self evasive hypocrites These cold abrasive apathetics We’ve all got to own up to it Our world’s sick and I’m Sick of it Our world’s sick and I’m Sick of it Our world’s sick and I'm Sick of it We all share the burden of it Our world’s sick and I’m sick of it

Enigma 03:52
I know you’re in there I know I feel your light again here Behind that mask Behind that stare I knew the enigma would reappear And where are ya now Moving through clouds How long can the chase continue When my shadows down I cast them all out Hope knew I’d find you again one day And I found you I know you're in there I know I feel your light again here And it’s getting nearer Behind that mask Behind that stare I knew the enigma would reappear A lost embrace One would be all it takes To keep hold of every minute Encompass every concealed hour In anonymity You sit still and silently I’ll keep your secret if you keep me Ha you best keep me Coz I know you’re in there I know I know I know It’s you I feel the light of the phantom Again it’s here Behind that mask Behind that stare I knew the enigma would reappear I knew the enigma would reappear And I know again you’ll reappear Who is this figure I hold so dear You’re always here

We awake in our misery This mess we’ve made And nothing can save you From entropy I notice that you’re drowning But this will all evaporate Some have to sink to the bottom Just to float to the top again And will the sun still hang in the sky Will the world keep turning The end of this life End of the world you had warning And it’s a mountain we climb And a mystery how to survive And when it’s too late we ask why And wonder Where did we go wrong In relief I hear you sigh Another day is dawning I watch you come back to life Consciousness uprising I know it feels like you're drowning But this will all evaporate Some have to sink to the bottom Just to float to the top again Will the sun still hang in the sky Will the world keep turning The end of this life End of the world you had warning And it’s a mountain we climb And a mystery how to survive And when it's too late we ask why And wonder Where did we go wrong Where did we go wrong Where do we belong And where did we come from So why not love Why not peace Why not an open hand Instead of a fist Why cry Why resist Why not try Why not persist Like the sun that hangs in the sky Like the world that keeps turning The end of this life End of the world you had warning And it’s a mountain we climb And a mystery how to survive And when it’s too late we ask why And wonder Will the sun still hang in the sky Will the world keep turning The end of all love Will be the end of the world you had warning We made this mountain we climb And it a misery to survive And if it's not too late can we ask why And wonder Where did we go wrong I notice that you're drowning But this will all evaporate Some have to sink to the bottom Just to float to the top again
