ragnarok is the chain saws and fires it is the black smoke it is the lead and kevlar it is happening now the gods the ceos and kings fighting the selfish fight for more power stepping on the mass graves of their own followers and so yggdrassil will fall from the termites called man and there will be no leaves left to protect our children and no roots to grow anew in the loss of this fire i've lost the shimmering in my eyes the circuits have all shorted out and the soul grows numb the blue has faded to black and the sea has stood still and the warmth in my blood has frozen in lines like sand

i dreamt today to be free from this world of chaos but i've found we won't break free from anything at all until we realize we are born in pieces and together we must make ourselves whole this is a song for our friends this is a song for the departed this is a song for the dead i don't know what to say or where i will begin today for i have lost you in every way because this is a song for our friends our friends that have left i'm held together by safety pins they start to rust turn to dust and then i fall apart like a pin cushion lie the needles in my heart i am delicate and you should have known that from the start i'm always falling down and when i get up more things are broken more pieces are falling off but i'm trying with your help to put the pieces back together this is a song for our friends this is a song for the departed this is a song for the dead i don't know what to say or where i will begin today for i have lost you in every way because this is a song for our friends our friends that have left

13.	bit lip 03:31	lyrics	buy track
at a coffee bar at the station i bit my lip blood dripped into the cream i still drank it i was just waiting for you and you never came why and you never came waiting for you an endless retort an endless pain of an endless sort let's dance but i'm alone at the dance club you left me i sat with our drinks once again i bit my lip it dripped into the drink salty in a vodka presence ends up to be a timid drink for a strong alcoholic but you never came back why you never came back i threw away the drink waiting for you an endless retort an endless pain of an endless sort let' s dance but i'm alone

about

For the past five years, RevState has been writing, singing, producing, engineering, painting, dreaming, and tweaking all those knobs in Red Dwarf Studio, with a plan to complete a brand new 13 track LP. Finally, Viridian Resonance is here: analogue laden electronoize that steps across the barriers of genre and sound, bringing you to a place where advanced technology, vintage musical equipment, and the philosophies of the now disbanded Viridian Design Movement will be used to help save this ebbing azure star we call the earth, and provide one hell of a soundtrack to accomplish it to. Thirteen tracks for a total length of 55:48:02.
