In the light
another time
another life that could be mine
a story made
to fit the part
the image of the man
you thought must live inside the art
drew your blood
to draw the line
you were crossing back and forth in rhyme
you never even thought to shut your mouth
cut your flesh to fit the scar
tell the lie of who you are
but you never were that hard to figure out
kill the light
in your eyes
was there nothing to be said
that would not make you want to die
kill the light
bring the dark
you punished them for loving you
and told them it was art
it’s a lie to say they want you
to always tell the truth
no one cares what you’ve been through
they didn’t want you
they only came to...
kill the light
in your eyes
was there nothing you could say
when they were longing for a lie
kill the light
bring the dark
you punished them for loving you
and promised it was art
they needed you to be
better than them
better than anyone could be
but you were human
damn your heart
who can say why
or what reasons drove you
you always said that you would live and die for art
kill the light
in your eyes
was there nothing to be said
that would not make you want to die
kill the light
bring the dark
you punished them for loving you
and told them it was art
die for art
die for art
die for art
die for art

Been listening to Rotersand since forever. Whichever direction Rotersand goes, I follow, and what a fantastic journey we have been on together. Keep it coming, you guys have done no wrong! riobranden

I just wanted you guys to know what a brilliant album this is. Been buying your music since I first saw you at Islington Carling Academy in 2004 (your first performance here in the UK I believe) and your music just gets better and better...thank you 🙂 langdon65
