lyrics

There was a war
And past the attack
We will come back
Our enemies swore

But we were on land
Linking all our arms
Now away from harm
We knew that we could dance

With a post-modern man
Cut out of stone
His throat was full of tone
This being how he sang
And his millennium ran
Out my backdoor
Into the cold
With its head in its hands

And winter is cold
And the people are colder
(the seasons are open)
And when you are self-aware
There is simply less to be scared of

And there was a war
Inside ourselves
No one could help
We simply had to abort

But there was a port
Not far from here
Towards which we steered
So we could pin the award

On a post-modern man
Of our very own
We never were alone
For this particular span.
And this millennium ran
Out my backdoor
It couldn’t take anymore
It had all it could stand
Yet this postmodern man, well, he wasn’t sure

And the future is sold.
And the people they know it.
But when you are self-aware
No matter the wealth of despair
There’s simply less to be scared of…..

Two albums, numerous "live demos," one too-long hiatus and (most importantly) one bass distortion pedal later, Muhlbock continues to release riff-based alt. rock, scattered with lush harmonies and dotted with cryptic and/or disillusioned lyrics. ... more
