Whatever's left... is it worth saving?

lyrics

Fail Nation

We are guided by temptation
We want it all
We got stranded at the station
Now we wait until Fail Nation falls…

Is that all there is?
One fleeting moment
Then it ends like this
Can we get one last photograph?

All roads they lead
Lead us to Fail Nation
Gold clouds and castles in the sky

We… now faced with dislocation
We went and dropped the ball
We… the soldiers of Fail Nation
We fight hard as the nation falls…

Is that all there is?
One fleeting moment
Then it ends like this
Can we get one last photograph?

All roads they lead
Lead to Fail Nation
Gold clouds and castles in the sky

We... the greatest of all creations
We only end up looking small
We… a fate sealed by damnation
And now we wait for the wrecking ball

Is that all there is?
One fleeting moment
Then it ends like this
Can we get one last photograph?

All roads they lead
Lead us to Fail Nation
Gold clouds and castles in the sky
All roads they lead
Lead us to Fail Nation
The Boy King is broken deep inside

Cool mesmerizing grooves. Words that paint a scene that doesn’t leave you. The intensity of a lullaby, the understated undertow of a midnight tide.
Toronto producer multi-instrumentalist Rein Vares and vocalist/lyricist Derek Christie have collaborated as DarkRide for decades after meeting up in the city’s Queen Street W scene in the 1980’s. Now six albums in, their sound evolves with each... ... more
