Strange New World

by Tight Rope Sky

supported by

Morts thumbnail
Morts Sounds to me like traditional progressive rock with a post-rock twist, intelligent hard rock with a sense of adventure. However you try to label or describe it one thing can't be disputed - I reckon this is a great album with impeccable musicianship and plenty going on to occupy the ears and mind! Favorite track: TRS.

Open your eyes, See them falling Down from the skies, it's such a tragedy So many lives, Walking a straight line Determined not to fall Fighting against destiny Tell me what you want, I won't listen I'm so high No need for your permission   Picking up faster, this sultry disaster I'm giving up reason, for an unmangled season It feels so right, to be in flight So take the plunge, Into the tight rope sky Into the tight rope sky   Balance is a lie, fed at birth Gravity abound, Lacking self worth Alone we start to sweat, fear no tomorrow Letting no one in, leads to constant sorrow Tell me what you want I won't listen I'm so high No need for your permission   Picking up faster, this sultry disaster I'm giving up reason, for an unmangled season It feels so right, to be in flight So take the plunge, Into the tight rope sky Into the tight rope sky

Sands of time Don't make me wait another moment Maybe I'm Destined for something greater I'm hopin, I'm hopin It's no suprise You've got me hynotized Another try And I'll be on my wayward motion, void emotion Signs of the times They're gettin oh so sour Here's our chance to save a life Pump the heart, ignite the fire Seize the spark It could be over in a minute if you close your eyes Colourblind Black and grey is all I've known Now here you are Technicolor and devotion, devotion It's no suprise You've got me hynotized Another try And I'll be on my wayward motion, void emotion Signs of the times They're gettin oh so sour Here's our chance to save a life Pump the heart, ignite the fire Seize the spark It could be over in a minute if you close your eyes

Rotted wood with-in weak walls The frame forms a crack Defective sincerity Shown only from the back Tearing it down like breaking bones The splinters cause real pain It's not the fall that hurts at all Can anybody hear me? Listen, Closely to the water Quiet, down and take a breath Focus your eyes on the black storm Take heed, turn back until the storm is set Shaking madness, trembling hands the structure starts to sway Blowing from omnidirection Wind it strips the paint Sinking deep into the ground The earth now forms a shield Fault evasion No foundation Can anybody hear me? Listen, Closely to the water Quiet, down and take a breath Focus your eyes on the black storm Take heed, turn back until the storm is set Take heed, turn back Take heed, turn back Take heed, turn back Take heed, turn back

We have such strong souls And such frail bodies Bullet-proof determination with hearts of glass hearts of glass Stone flying through Windows of glass homes Ceilings collapsing Falling Thru the floor Haven't been here in so long Wasn't there a reason? Wasn't there a spark? Wasn't there once a spark? Like a light bulb Like a light bulb You've become an island surrounded by a moat we call the sea Nothing to help you No one to attack When help's what you need what you need Stone flying through Windows of glass homes Ceilings collapsing Falling Thru the floor When did you become Afraid of happiness, making misery Misery an old friend Was it a se-ries of events Or just natural selection Stone flying through Windows of glass homes Ceilings collapsing Falling Thru the floor Haven't been here in so long Wasn't there a reason? Wasn't there a spark? Wasn't there once a spark? Like a light bulb Like a light bulb Struggling to turn on Flickering violently Refusing to give up Wasn't there a? Wasn't there? Hello?

At the present time I'm beside myself Nothing seems to be as planned So I am moving on You had your chance before You took too long the clocks run out on you When the time comes to decide I hope you'd wait a second longer These feelings never will subside My strength lies with my hunger I'm under Your secret spell And I wander Along the silent ocean It's hard to hear the song You never let me write It hurts to know what could have been The waves that crash along An empty beach in motion Make my aching heart feel numb When the time comes to decide I hope you'd wait a second longer These feelings never will subside My strength lies with my hunger Don't you give in and hurry up (Don't You Give In) Don't you give in and hurry up Don't you give in and hurry up(Don't You Give In) Don't you give in and hurry up Don't you give in and hurry up(Don't You Give In) Don't you give in and hurry up Don't you give in and hurry up(Don't You Give In) BEFORE I'M IN TO DEEP

Plagued by insecurities Surrounded by the doubt Nothing existed yet, the clock goes BOOM It just can’t keep, going on and on So I climb the mountain, to find the myth 19 hours on a crystal ball Through torchlight and forest The shadows seemed to cry Was it the evening air, the fog rolled in It covered the depths, left the high shallow Part of a process, reveal the result Branded by a new taboo Baptized into shame I held a vision that, remains in vain So I keep on seeking the mountain’s myth Proceed to fall apart, part of a fall (Instrumental) I took a bite and with all of my strength I was fighting for life then I sang Take me away Searching for something, forgetting the cause It was over before it began Keep pushing uphill, drive the grave Eyes on horizon the ball then appears An old masquerade, a facade on parade Drift a day Dancing on lies full of death in disguise I'm fooled by the one I despise Break the cage, tear the body Raising a chair, now all full of despair I prepare for the landing and pray Let there be light, let me stay! Everything shatters to pieces at once as the colors all fade to erase At the top, there was nothing Nothing but lies, and promises empty At the top, Just another beginning Another mountain, Another myth No openings or doors No portal or way of escape Free of thought Neither free to return or to stay

What have I done Tasting the faith, lost in the moment So out of touch, with the voices I'm hearing steering Out of myself, out of suggestions Questions all I have How is this love when it's only One sided, decided Blame it on the father Blame it on the guilty ones Take this lamb to slaughter Sacrifice the holy one Lay you down to face your fate Thrusting down the Sakin's blade Don't cry my son Your almost on your way So blame me, the foolish father The great betrayer, I'll take the blame Take the blame! Take the blame! Take the blame! Take the blame! Take the blame! Take the blame! Wake me up, Wake me up, Wake me up father Wake me up, Wake me up, Wake me up father Wake me up, Wake me up, Wake me up father
