lyrics
I feel so old today
The time's led us astray
This shroud of memory
What's left for you and me?
They promise better days
How soon they turn away
We're in a dire state
The words don't resonate
The fading will to fight
The dying of the light
This anguish in our hearts
Our whole world's come apart
This longing that we feel
Is truth no longer real?
Blind eyes are all I see
This plastic society
Oh, a fleeting melody
Out of a fading dream
Embers raining sky
Nightmare waking eye
A fleeting melody
Out of a fading dream
Stand your ground
Stand your ground
A fleeting melody
Out of a fading dream
Stand your ground
Stand your ground

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days.
Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
