Darkened Sky 03:03
I close my eyes to see a dead dark world of paradise A disowned land; main streets of misled youths in paradise The sky has fallen; the truth calls out to me I can feel the ocean start to rise;let the war depart Who will make it out alive? Now it's time for us to forget; all the lies, that we are fed Strangers to this dark world, held captive in our minds Are we just the dead walking? And who have we become? Fragments of what we used to be Cut the chains and set us free These are my visions burning inside of the earth Misled we march into the void Breaking through a revolution lie after lie and lie after lie Now it's time for us to forget; all the lies, that we are fed Strangers to this dark world, held captive in our minds Are we just the dead walking? And who have we become? Fragments of what we used to be Cut the chains and set us free I'm lying in this bed of lies Surroundings fade and everything dies I can't escape, I cannot flee I cannot see whats wrong with me I tried so hard to turn the page But every page I disengage Strangers to this dark world, held captive in our minds Are we just the dead walking? And who have we become? Fragments of what we used to be Cut the chains and set us free

Sacrifice all the lifeless pigs who stand above the new generation Sailing oceans to raise hell upon our life I'm the deceiver, who brings misery towards the political man Now your life, is a lie Controlled by the army of a thousand men, at war, at sea Controlled by the army of a thousand men, inside of me For years we've lived a chosen path, carved in stone, chained to walls Blue printed new designs programmed before us Hold the future of mankind Hold the secrets from the prisoners of society Rise and shine from the ranks of the rich and poor Controlled by the army of a thousand men, at war, at sea Controlled by the army of a thousand men, inside of me For years we've lived a chosen path, carved in stone, chained to walls Blue printed new designs programmed before us Are we, secretly, prisoners? Will these eyes watching over, really guide us to victory? Stop running away from the race that you refuse to face Controlled by the army of a thousand men, at war, at sea Controlled by the army of a thousand men, inside of me For years we've lived a chosen path, carved in stone, chained to walls Blue printed new designs programmed before us Are we, secretly, prisoners?

Re-align the stars tonight; I’m taking back my life We are coming home I am refusing to give up on myself I’ve got the light all around me; the flight that’s inside me Set free my destiny I am no longer restrained, above all else I stand I’m not the crooked man who hides behind the shadows Let go of everything that I know will hold me down Believe me, we are coming home Believe me, you are not alone Believe me, believe me I am refusing to give up on myself I’ve got the light all around me; the flight that’s inside me Re-align the stars tonight I’ve got a fire inside and it’s not subsiding I’m taking back my life I am leaving behind all that I know will hold me back From what I envision within myself We set a light to fire, we counted worlds, as one If we set the world on fire we could burn in hell, as one We counted the worlds as one We counted these worlds, as one I am refusing to give up on myself I’ve got the light all around me; the flight that’s inside me Re-align the stars tonight I’ve got a fire inside and it’s not subsiding I’m taking back my life It’s set in stone; we're coming home; there’s two faces in the mirror We counted worlds; you're not alone; there’s two faces in the mirror We set a light; we’re taking flight; there’s two faces in the mirror It’s set in stone; we're coming home; there’s two faces in the mirror I am refusing to give up on myself I’ve got the light all around me; The flight that’s inside me Re-align the stars tonight I’ve got a fire inside and it’s not subsiding I’m taking back my life Believe me, we are coming home Believe me you are not alone Believe me, believe me

In Hope 03:20
Who are we if we're not paving our own path? Every single day brings the beginning of a new chance Set aside the past and voices telling us, that our dreams are out of reach We can never set ourselves free This time we’re holding on This time we're holding on to everything and running to the very end To the very end And now we're letting go, we'll take control of all the demons in our heads Stand against the tide and hope we'd never fall Who are we if we let go of what we're fighting for? Wishing we could bury all these things at sea So that we can breathe again; show the world what we can be Who are we if we let go of what were fighting for? This time we're holding on to everything and running to the very end To the very end And now we're letting go, we'll take control of all the demons in our heads We risk our lives for fucking snakes, to split the world apart Can you see the burning fire in our eyes The god forsaken demons in our lives In hope we reach for the sky We reach out for the sky In hope we reach for the sky Now I’ve had enough, and I’m out to kill Define this hollow calling, in my ears This time we're holding on to everything and running to the very end We’re running to the very end And now we're letting go, we'll take control of all the demons in our heads

I can barely breathe Let alone the walk ahead This long and winding road I took an oath; I promised you that I would return I am no longer an innocent man I am enlightened; united around this flame I sing my heart my soul; this is what I’ve become The truth remains untold to me And why do we fight for a world that isn’t worth dying for? We are the soldiers made of gold Excluding all the masses from the truth that remains untold Manipulation, is the key of it all With no explanations we fall Constantly falling in repetitions We hold this everlasting curse Manipulation is the key The truth remains untold to me Manipulation is the key The truth remains untold to me

about

Danger! Earthquake! hit the ground running with their breathtaking debut album 'Dystopia'. Creating a sound that is heavy and energetic but remains fresh and exciting throughout.

Listeners are treated to a tapestry of melodic piano, chiors, strings and bells that cut bold and beautiful melodies over a driving and definitively heavy metal inspired rhythm section. Dual vocal outfit Allan and Vonnie seamlessly bounce from light to dark and together speak a powerful message on par with the energy in the music behind them.

Danger! Earthquake! put a new innovative spin on the post-hardcore genre. Striking a balance between heavy and harmonious and forming a sound that’s extremely addictive and highly unique.
