A special track. Best savored together with the next one. But don't rush yet, you'll miss the sudden bang. And the curse that comes with it. The curse of Time. Most definitely, the Batman Animated Series themed title IS a bonus.

lyrics

Oh! I know!
It was woe
It was the coveted poison to your life style
Was it.. maiden?!... was it.. haaaaag?!..
These two poles, between which
This continuum hit a snag!!
Whatever could be the case
Still the morning is a drag..
And while we both knew people like me don't exist around people like you
One last high!.. was needed on both sides!
So let's do this, one last dance, and a chance
You and I...

(For all drama grows from the ghosts of the past
Foolish notion of permanence..)

You will bloat! Even as you run on the treadmill
Doing squats or whatever might stop the decay!
You will sag! And i will be here with my hand in my hands
For in this dirge of a song i have found understanding..

(And i was never good to go through
And i was never your type
I was the kind that stood behind you
Before the end of the line)

Hold on with posture, you're slipping..
Hold on as tight as you can!..
Onto your coteries, bullshit and posturing,
Hold on to them they're your grips made of sand!

Have i shown you time's assortment?..
Of perfect statutes beaten with hammers!
That is something truly beautiful, isn't it?..
That's so beautiful..
It makes you want to die!

The Boy Who Cried Wolf Bucharest, Romania

The Boy Who Cried Wolf started their activity as two local bands from Bucharest collided ( CHESTER & Breathelast ), and Bogdan and Mihai reached out to Alex (PZFI, Backstage Hero) to give it a sincere go at writing some tunes that would better react to their primal needs to play some wild, fast paced music, inspired by old school metal combined w/ Hardcore / Punk vibes. Other sounds may occur. ... more

Grandeur
by White Walls

supported by 4 fans who also own “Selina, The Years Have Not Been Kind”

Il faut oser appeler un album Grandeur, mais dans le cas présent, White Walls s’avère largement à la hauteur de cette ambition. C’est un opus qui combine une puissance de feu impressionnante avec un sens de la mélodie indéniable et une technicité sans faille. (Chroniqué sur https://alias.erdorin.org) Stéphane Gallay
