lyrics

Tread quietly; tighten up the pacing because you’ve snuck too far to turn back. Walk across the line to make them believe you’re just drunk enough to dance with the Devil. My tears, they taste like alcohol. I’m drunk on the perfume of your burning skin. You are the one fooling with the camera so violently to disguise the plot with your alibi. So suddenly, sick of what you’ve become Being the one under the gun before the next shot is fired. Just get a grip, don’t let it slip away from the fingers of the last hand you played. Eyes on the prize, you know what’s best since you’re the only one left to make a difference in this. Next question is, who’s next in line? And who’s that, getting away from what’s left to say? Next question is, who’s next in line to make me forget? Forget the way you took away everything. Forget the weight you held over me.

Holon : Hiberno
by The Hirsch Effekt

supported by 45 fans who also own “Under The Gun”

Listening to this album takes me on an emotional journey. It's poetic, it's tragic, it's utterly beautiful and hurtful alike. Vituperator, Zoetrop and Hiberno are among the best The Hirsch Effekt songs in my humble opinion. A must-buy if you're into chaotic, exceptionally well executed music. An absolutely stunning debut.
