Man Or Island

So, you're stuck in a one-horse town
Toss and turn, don't wanna be around
Don't walk barefoot on fire for other's sense of self
Step back if you don't know how to tell
To tell
Free yourself from all
But alone will you reach the top
Hey, stay or go for the gold
Are you a man or an island
Yeah
So, you made your bed out of nails
You gotta lie in it or make a break
The road is long, will you take aim
Are you and island or just another man
(A man)
A man
Free yourself from all
But alone will you reach the top
Hey, stay or go for the gold
Are you a man or an island
Can you pull the weight
Everybody's weight
Can you pull the weight
So pull it, pull it
Hey, free yourself from all
But alone will you ever reach the top
Stay or go for the gold
Are you a man or an island

Lay Down
03:36
|

Tell me is a life worth living
If you’re stuck on the grind
False sense of a freedom
Blind leading the blind
You choose them to save you
They choose to save themselves
You give them the right to tear
The roof down on your bed
Lay down, hands on your head
Try to see if you break or you bend
Give them your freedom and prey
Or choose to die another way
Free will on a poster
Makes the perfect lie
A broken mirror to what
Seems a perfect life
They feed on your hunger
Dry you to the bone
You trade your life for coin
Free will for a home
Don’t run away
(Don’t run away)
When you hear them say
Lay down, hands on your head
Try to see if you break or you bend
Give them your freedom and prey
Or choose to die another way
Lay down, hands on your head, yeah
I wanna see if you break or you bend
Give them your freedom and prey
Choose to die another way
Lay down
Lay down
Lay down

Stray Dog
05:42

If you want to hold me down
Be ready cause I'll shake the ground
I'm gonna keep pushing the weights
I'll snap the rope keeping me away
Cause I'm just a stray dog, wandering alone
Drowning in the rain, no bed or bone
Yeah, I know it, I know the home I'll never see
(Yeah, I know it)
Yeah, I know it, I know your fire will never warm me
(Yeah, I know it)
Don't dare to cross the line
Don't try to read my mind
You won't like what you find
Just like a stray dog, wandering alone
Running in the rain, no bed or bone
Yeah, I know it, I know the home I'll never see
(Yeah, I know it)
Yeah, I know it, I know your fire will never warm me
(Yeah, I know it)
I'll keep going on my way
What’s tomorrow, don’t matter anyway
Light skies or heavy rain
I’ve been through it all, it's all the same
Gone through high and low
Where I end up I'll never know
I'll never, I'll never, I'll never be any better
This life ain't cut for me
I’m gonna find my way, I know it

Behind The Fire
04:43

I am the liar,
I am the memory
I am the trigger (made you believe)
I am the gasoline
My gift to you
Imaginary crown
Feels damn good
Fill up and drown
Looking behind the fire
Looking behind the fire
Standing inside the pyre
Still looking behind
Behind the fire
Behind the fire
I give you neither
I give you everything
I feed desires (made you believe)
I am the catalyst
Looking behind the fire
Looking behind the fire
Standing inside the pyre
Still looking behind
My gift to you
Imaginary crown
So damn good
Fill up and drown
Looking behind the fire
Looking behind the fire
Standing inside the pyre
Still looking behind
Behind the fire
Behind the fire
Behind the fire
Behind the fire

Rolling Ahead
06:38
|

|
Stone cold my eyes
The wind in my face
High noon is on the rise
But I'm waiting for the storm to begin
Don't know if you dare to get closer to me right now
Cause I'm rolling ahead
Like a steaming train that will not slow down
I'm all thunder, no rain, and I will strike whatever comes my way
I won't stay buried under the sand cus I'm rolling ahead
A crow screeches loud
But I ain't hearing no sound
Bad moon is shining, lights my way
Get out now before it's too late
You'll never know when it hits you again, so be ready
Ready for it
Brace yourself I’m coming around again
Take what you can and run, run out of the way
I'm like a steaming train that will not slow down
Imma run you all over, going fast and loud
I'm all thunder, no rain, and I will strike whatever comes my way
I'm done staying buried under the sand cause I'm rolling ahead
Rolling ahead

Sometimes
03:48
|
|||
|
Some days I have my finger on the trigger
And other times I go and I just let it slide
Cause I'm tired of trying, of lying
A punching bag that's about to be torn open
(One more shot of whiskey)
Then I’ll blast a hole in the sky
The only thing that can keep me alive
Is a dead quiet night
Are you sure you want to bother me
You better save it for another day
Sometimes I wanna be on my own
Sometimes you better leave me alone
Sometimes I wanna be on my own
Sometimes you better leave me alone
Riding heavy
Racing through my mind just to figure it out
Buckle up if you don’t want to get thrown down
Cause I ain't done nothing but I'm going full throttle
(Stay the fuck) Stay the fuck back
Don't even try to push me to break
Cause I don't how much it'll take
(Don’t step) Over the line for your own sake
Are you sure you want to bother me
You better save it for another day
Sometimes I wanna be on my own
Sometimes you better leave me alone
Sometimes I wanna be on my own
Sometimes you better leave me,alone
(Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes)
Sometimes, I need to turn off the world
(Sometimes) Just wanna be on my own
(Sometimes) You better leave me alone
(Sometimes) Go on and stay back
Don't you push me over the edge, I wanna be on my own

Right 'N' Ready
04:28
|

|
Won’t you put away your golden plates far from me
I’m not amazed by your top-class, first-rate shtick
Silver spoon fed baby
You have all, but you're nothing
Don't whine about living in clouds
I'll tell you right now
I move for no man, until I'm right and ready
Chase down the road that guides me home
My soul is burning with adrenaline
Gives me a boost that drives me home
Right 'n' ready
So better stick to your premium high-grade vault,
(Won’t you take)
Won’t you take a drink from your ten-year single malt
Big shot with a privilege
Empty heart, deep pockets
Pile of trash moneybags
Take what you can cause it’s coming
I move for no man, until I'm right and ready
Chase down the road that guides me home
My soul is burning with adrenaline
Gives me a boost that drives me home
I move for no man, until I'm right and ready
Chase down the road that guides me home
My soul’s burning with adrenaline
Gives me a boost that drives me home
Right 'n' ready

We're Not Alone
04:28
|
|||
|
It seems like day to day it's hard to see
Humanity in this so-called philanthropy
Candles blown in an endless storm of our actions made
And the things we love to hate take over everything
Come and see what future holds for me
We still have time to change the flow
We're not alone
We'll come as you go
High as the sun
We'll reap what you saw
We fly on our own
Silence is the only thing you let me see
Trapped routine, the same old things, had enough of it
Falling in and out of sleep comes naturally
Standing still on the eggshells of my sanity
But I’m still counting on the things I know for sure
We're not alone
We'll come as you go
High as the sun
We'll reap what you saw
We fly on our own
We fly on our own
High as the sun, shooting down
We fly on our own
We’ll come as you go
We fly on our own,
Higher than the sky
We come as you go
Cause we are not alone
We fly with the wind of our song
High as the sun
We'll rip you apart and you'll know
We're free and on our own

Sunrise
05:02
|

|
And I've waited so long for the sunrise
It's been dark all this time and I've gone blind
Driving on the edge, I'm ready
Gotta keep my eyes, keep them steady
Through hell and fire, down the road
Trying to defy what's gone
Justify what I've said and done
Go on like the river flows
And I've waited so long for the sunrise
It's been dark all this time and I've gone blind
Seems it's finally time for the sunrise
And I see the road I’m gonna drive on by
Dragging all my bags behind me
Gotta throw them out, they won't find me
Get rid of every face I wore
God give me a piece of mind
Find me another simple life
I don't want nothing more, yeah
And I’ve waited so long for the sunrise
It's been dark all this time and I've gone blind
Seems it's finally time for the sunrise
And I see the road I'm gonna drive on by
And I’ve waited so long for the sunrise
It's been dark all this time and I've gone blind
Seems it's finally time for the sunrise
And I see the road I'm gonna drive on by

This Chest
05:12
|
|||
|
I’ve been smothered by this town
I can taste the air I'm breathing
Streets smell of greed and concrete
Sucking in all that's left
Search if you want answers,
Get a bird’s eye view once for a change
Tell them what you see instead of
Read what you are told from a page
Slash through the mountains
Wipe off my scars and sweat
Break open my brain
Go back to the start again
Primal instinct taking over
Gotta go where I’m free and running
This chest has a bomb that’s beating
I need some room to explode
Now, don’t try to tell me to slow down
You better look around you
Then see what surrounds you
Finally leave this place
Slash through the mountains
Wipe off my scars and sweat
Break open my brain
Go back to the start again

For their previous effort Elk Witch took as to a "Mountain" this time they are showing us what lies beyond that mountain and what we find there is more superb The Sword like proto-doom flecked with a little blustering hard rock and metal
