Lute FP Psychedelic stoner sludge? I guess so. Tons to explore here, I just started listening and had to buy. Clever songwriting with lots of bounce, reminds me of Faith No More not in sound so much as the way heavy is mixed with melody, with just enough lunacy to keep things constantly interesting. The first few songs have a grungy flavor, then things veer in a sludgier direction, then comes the heavy psych, and pretty soon you just get lost in the assault on your senses. This is brilliant.

Cast Away 03:05
Is time, the rushing river, flowing forward, ever free Or is that your perception of the vast and endless sea The castaway, who's gone astray, who tests temporal seas Can wick the waves and count their days in thousands or just three Well you've lost something important and I've lost a priceless prize But I can see you've got the courage and a little bit of time So here's the deal, the bargain steal, my newest, oldest friend If you return my property, I'll show you how this ends Cast away the present Cast away the now Cast away another day And then you wonder how You cast away your future As you cast away the past You cast away another day And hope they last Cast away Cast away Cast away Cast away Double time, as owl flies over swamp and mountain snow Past ocean waves and canyon's graves, where giants walk with eyes ablaze It's there you'll be and there you'll seem no stranger to the sea Come on in the waters fine, dive right in Cast away the present Cast away the now Cast away another day And then you wonder how You cast away your future As you cast away the past You cast away another day And hope they last

Clocktower 03:51
Awake, with the dawn of the day The townsfolk all work and go about their charades Illegible signs, strung about empty stores The shiver of doubt, I've been here before Clocktower Can you tell me the time I've got these thoughts In the back of the mind Clocktower How long has it been Something's wrong What was it again The town, in the shade of the moon The clockwork cogs, clicking in tune Blood-red eyes, frozen in pain It all goes around, again and again and again and again Clocktower Can you tell me the time I've got these thoughts In the back of the mind Clocktower How long has it been Something's wrong Can you tell me again Clocktower, clocktower, give me a day Just one more hour and I'll slip away Clocktower, clocktower, I need more time A minute, a second, a chance to rewind I'm turning the time back and playing with fire Or lost in a loop with my free will expired Or what if that I am just stuck in repeating This nightmare again and I'm just left here screaming I just need more time

The Mask 07:46
We wear all their memories, gone so soon Faces long forgotten to the phases of the moon The seasons, like clockwork, the people come and go And every single person's got a mask they show the world The soldier's saber rattles where his courage can't be found The foreman barking orders finds no company around The paramours, that plot their days and ponder what could be The courier endures the course yet, yearns to wander free A mask for you A mask for me A mask for the whole wide world to see The crooked cattle jockeys grin and hawk their hard-earned wares The rancher plays her poker face to pacify the pair The frontman's unaffected air exposed by new sounds The manager decides in doubt and drinks as if to drown A mask for you A mask for me A mask for the whole wide world to see A mask to hoard your anger, a mask to hide your shame A mask to mask the pain is still a mask all the same You of many faces, you of so few words You in silence, screaming for your voices to be heard They say the world's a stage and that the players all, are we Then why does it seem that nobody wants to play with me? All their funny faces, all their fake and phony laughs Maybe with this new mask I can find what I don't have Feel it crawl through my skin, just like needles and pins To the edge of the knife, scraping out, carving life Overwhelmed by the pull and the vast undertow Of the fire in my veins, spreading out, taking hold Feel the earth giving way, I am molten, you are clay I'm the feast, I'm the flood, I'm the fields overrun I'm am woken, hexed flame, I'm the curse, given name I am envy, I am free, I am magnipotent

Fallen leaves Frozen throne Ocean seethes Hearts of stone Outside the faded glimmer of the faintest, far-off star An ancient oath encrypted in a song that carries far Across the blackest passageway, beyond the void of light An order spoken softly as a whisper in the night Four who are Four are we Hear our Call Oath to keep Four who are Four are we Break our chains Set us free Inside the fetid sepulcher and frozen mountain's throne Inside the sunken citadel and tower made of stone Inside them, they are waiting and the gaze with covered eyes They sing out to the darkness for the one to break their binds Four who are Four are we Hear our Call Oath to keep Four who are Four are we Break our chains Set us free

Ranting, raving, gnashing And the sharpening of skeans The rotten, ruddy, skunk-apes howl Bemoan their missing queen Eye for eye Blood for blood Eye for eye and blood for blood They scream and shout out loud Burn their wretched palace up And tear their hovels down Eye for eye Blood for blood Count the blades that point your way Count your precious time Count the debt you owe to us In blood for blood and teeth and eyes We will come, we will collect Our counter-call your crime We will get what's owed to us In blood and teeth and eyes Across the bog through noxious fog The straw-men twitch and waltz The raiding party's lurs blare The sacrifice is called Eye for eye Tooth for tooth Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth They cackle as they cry You took ours, now we'll take yours They wail to weary skies Eye for eye Tooth for tooth Count the blades that point your way Count your precious time Count the debt you owe to us In blood for blood and teeth and eyes We will come, we will collect Our counter-call your crime We will get what's owed to us In blood and teeth and eyes We will come, we will collect Our counter-call your crimes We will get what's owed to us In blood and teeth and eyes

Slide and slither, serpentine Shake and shiver, shout with me Swing your hands and stomp your feet And dance with me, inside the viper's den Come dance with me, ye sycophants, ye ones who fall in line Applaud the looming doom at hand and revel in end of times Come dance with me, down in the pit, down in this vile shrine We'll writhe together, rhythmically like serpents intertwined Slide and slither, serpentine Shake and shiver, shout with me Swing your hands and stomp your feet And dance with me, inside the viper's den Come dance with me, upon the stage, inside our rotting tomb Beneath the swamp, beneath the fog, beneath the poison blooms Come dance with me, the dance of death, betwixt the choking vines Beneath my blade, beneath the moon, beneath the weary skies

Automaton 05:19
Frozen steel, howling drone Titan rises, mountain groans Ice-cold, frozen throne Rusted, chrome, automaton Snow blown, mountain home Titan roams, automaton Smell of sulfur, raw ozone Rockface rumbles, giant roams Ice-cold, frozen throne Rusted, chrome, automaton Snow blown, mountain home Titan roams, automaton Bull-goat guardian of arctic fortress Cold steel colossus crashes down upon you Horns of steel, hooves of chrome Grinding gears, crushing bones Ice-cold, frozen throne Rusted, chrome, automaton Snow blown, mountain home Titan roams, automaton

A Cordial 01:05
11.
The open ocean, broken, smoking, seafoam harborside It's underneath, what can't be bound, it's underneath, that you will find A citadel in sleeping stasis, far below, a dreamlike place It's taken with the testudines, to the bottom of the bay that we go Then you don't see Any way home Any way back Any life boat Diving deep, it's getting darker Down below, a little farther What is sleeping in the water At the bottom of the bay The soaking merfolk, croaking, spoke in secrets in the quays Of twilight temples lost to tides, of bygone ancient elder days What lies below the waters gray, in half-dead dreams beneath the waves Abyssal riddle's agony, to the bottom of the bay that we go Then you don't see Any way home Any way back Any life boat Diving deep, it's getting darker Down below, a little farther What is sleeping in the water At the bottom of the bay

Spire of the red sun rising Tower in the sky Accursed stands, in shadows lands It burns infernal eyes Spire of the red sun rising Hollowed hearts of stone A canyon damned by bloody hands Of the walking dead that roam It's hell on earth, where up is down The ending has begun The heavens sink beneath your feet You fall into the sun Spire of the red sun rising Mocking those that dwell Promised with the hope of heaven Forever in their hell
13.
Man on the moon, stuck inside his room All alone and lost in song, wander along You and I are but the same, just a mask and a name Something lost for something gained, what does it cost Man on the moon, play your little tunes And sing your little songs a little longer, then we'll be gone We both want what we can't have, a little time, a second chance Another try, to make it count, but now our time is running out Fall, Fall, Fall Some friends that you turned out to be But who needs you, when I've got me You shut me out and locked the door You won't be laughing anymore I'm sick of games, so board I'll flip I'm tossing stones at pickup sticks Of silly toys, I've had my fill If I can't be happy, no one will Fall Before the sunken gods of old Before the titans stalked the cold Before the drowning, dreaming slept Before the stone-men took first step I was there, and I was king And I ruled over everything There was no you, there was no we And everything, belonged to me
