lyrics

War. What am I starting it for?
I've laid my allies to rest, and so I now I want more.
More. This means I’m changing for sure.
I close my own eyes. My sister, my twin,
We’re off to wage war.

And now I’m old, I’m worn, I've passed.
We’re living in reverse; a death at last.
And so we just undress and feel the earth,
No beat beneath your breast,
My mirror twin, be silent.

Even as she cries, I don’t mind.
Let’s do it in cycles.
Sister, the lord of the flies.
I don’t mind, let’s do it in cycles.
Our faces pale white.
I don’t mind let’s do it in cycles.
You were the lord of the flies.
I don’t mind, we’ll reanimate our birth.

War. I can’t hold off anymore.
I failed my allies, I’ll bring the dawn of the impure.
The cure. Oh sister there is no cure.
I chain myself to my dark female twin,
Ellie Noir, this is war.

And now we’re bored, we choke, we gasp.
We read a final verse; a death at last.
Our bodies lay undressed upon the earth,
No movement. Has He left?
My mirror twin, be silent.

Even as she cries, I don’t mind.
Let’s do it in cycles.
Sister, the lord of the flies.
I don’t mind, let’s do it in cycles.
Our faces pale white.
I don’t mind let’s do it in cycles.
You were the lord of the flies.
I don’t mind, we’ll reanimate our birth.

This was the band at Terminus festival that everyone was talking about with some iteration of "I'd never heard of them, but damn!" Catchy synth pop that doesn't shy away from its new wave influences, solid song craft with big hooks. John

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
