about

The Tracks is the last lyrics I wrote for this album. “Tracks” is a metaphor for each step of life… We are all walking the same “tracks” and at the same time I’m at one point of the tracks, you are at another… Eventually we cross the same points just at different times. I’m working on what I want over here, whilst the same time you are focused on what you want over there… We only peek our heads up and look over each others work when we think it has something that could benefit ourselves. I think what has continued to grow in bothering me is the idea of something for nothing and how much we have come to expect it. There are so many people willing to risk their lives in order to try to get things for free… They’ll take to violence and murder well before they attempt to truly work for what they want… it’s become a lifestyle and a lifestyle that we even make into a desirable way of living by allowing it to exist at all. The same time we send our people to defend this way of living in other countries for what greater good? Whom are we trying to save? What’s the reward for all my obedience?

lyrics

We’ve all grown tired, of raising arms, dragging our gear through the foreign farms
Telling our children, have no fear, leaving our women for the next guy to steal
I’ve peeled the layers, cut my own lines, built up an army under the jagged vines
sold all my profits riddled with tears, carried my statue through the stolen years

You want all my bullets
I got one for you
Tell me how you stole it
I walk these tracks for you

You say hero like it has no claim, judging the deed when its all the same
We should mind our own business, killer’s pride, I’ve seen more demons tell truths over lies
We are our cravings, a waste of time, can you deliver before we reach the line
Can’t buy a ladder, to climb this wall, can’t steel a promise from the reapers call

You’re not a stranger
A parallel life
You’re after wisdom
swinging the knife
I’ve seen reflections
Put up a fight
Carried by rage
Borrowed life
You want safe harbor
We want the sea
Save us the bother
Know its not free
I’ve seen the factions
Fall in the Mass
Grave of Despair
Knife in our backs
OH, Life Burns Fast

about

HALCION HALO image

HALCION HALO Tacoma, Washington

Halcion Halo is Hardy Bluesy Grunge band.
We keep going, writing new material, and naturally subjecting ourselves to the struggle pursuit which rubs the frontal lobe of our ego.
Hailing from the South Puget Sound in Washington… we make our bead and bread and come together regularly to ritualistically beat the hell out of our batter. It’s a goblet full of heavy we offer. ... more
