Aloud 03:25
Never gonna turn my fate around Said I gotta pull the whole thing out Paid a price for words I spoke out of necessity, well I don't know why they're aloud Gonna try and calm this whole thing down Built upon a shadow of a doubt Dared to live for something more than petty frivolities, well Who's to say that's not allowed? Staring up at a wake of fire Staring up at a wake of fire Staring up at a wake of fire now Now Screaming but I never hear the sound Searching for the strength to cry out loud Crucified for trying everything to make 'em see well I don't know why that's allowed Staring up at a wake of fire Staring up at a wake of fire Staring up at a wake of fire now Now Fool me left and right I hate to know the shame's on me, well I don't know why that's aloud

Answer 03:34
It started off, I guess, fairly well... In the wake of what's become of our lives It's hard to tell you that I tried Called away, called away I guess there's something I'm yet to find Another answer, there beyond the line A new reaction nothing can outshine Do you remember when I used to talk like I couldn't leave you if I tried? No way, no way Try to remember what it felt like Another answer, there beyond the line A new reaction nothing can outshine How far I go you're never far behind Until I'm broken I won't let it slide I can't reclaim the pieces that were mine All in all it went fairly well...

Ten Miles 02:51
Needed to stay Ten miles away We dared to feel emotion So we couldn't help but cry Till we refilled the ocean Can't talk through walls A thousand feet tall We tried to live forever Now we're dying all the time To recapture that notion Call to me forever through the wind I'll atone for what we've done Call to me forever through the wind I'll atone for what we've done Call to me forever from within I'm a ghost out on the run

Steal 03:51
Did you wear that dress for me? Did you wear that dress tonight? Did you think I'd get to sleep Did you think I'd be alright? Did you steal that from the night? Go and steal back to the night. Did you think it's fair to me? Did you think you'd feel alive? Did you wear that dress for me? Are you looking outta sight? Did you steal that from the night? Go and steal back to the night.

Ghost Town 05:57
Hide those lonely eyes For a time I made up my mind Save those empty sighs Breath awhile I've gone to find my Ghost town Feel it out Bleed out Leave my head to lie Unwind The bonds of this life Keep me nearby But don't deny I've gone to find my Ghost town Feel it out Bleed out I'm gonna bleed it out

Far 04:15
Can I ossify what I've left behind? Try to fortify shots from misty eyes In sight of every single line Can't be far from mine
7.
Deny 03:57
Wanted to see you by myself All alone, all alone We never need nobody else Let 'em go, get along Let's extol the things we can't control Help remold the morals we uphold Cause they won't deny me you for another day Wanted to know just how it felt Now it's gone, now it's gone Can I get more without the guilt? Is it wrong, am I wrong? Let's extol the things we can't control Help remold the morals we uphold Cause they won't deny me you for another day Let's extol the things we can't control Help remold the morals we uphold Cause I won't deny the truth for another day

Scared 03:55
It started again From my head down to my toes I started to say Scared of the noise Scared of the noise It's a stone Not a stair It's a stone Not a stare Covered my eyes Jammed my knees up to my ears Started to cry I can't stop from shaking Scared of the noise Scared of the noise It's a stone (Always feeling like they're watching me at night, any moment turning silence to a strike) Not a stair (Would you really dream of leaving me in isolation, unprotected?) It's a stone (Every moment is a fight to stay alive, should I bother sealing violence from my eyes) Not a stare (When the voices all emerge around me like a forest unseen to light?) Scared of the noise Scared of the noise (Breath. Stop.) (Breath. Stop.) It started again (Breath. Stop.) And I'm cowering in fear (Breath. Stop.) Wish I could say (Breath. Stop.) Stop Scared of the noise Scared of the noise It's a stone (Always feeling like they're watching me at night, any moment turning silence to a strike) Not a stair (Would you really dream of leaving me in isolation, unprotected?) It's a stone (Every moment is a fight to stay alive, should I bother sealing violence from my eyes) Not a stare (When the voices all emerge around me like a forest unseen to light?)

Missed 04:37
And when I'm gone You'll feel alone Under a million years of sky While the mountains pass you by And I still don't know If you ever Cry out To me At night You'll never reach me now And everyone Will come to know About emotions we denied From the distance in your eyes And I dare not show you How you planted Spirits In me Oh, why? I'll never reach you now

about

Lost Kingdoms Brooklyn, New York

Lost Kingdoms combines elements of prog, space rock, and grunge into a high-intensity stew of musical virtuosity and emotional depth. Terry Edelman, Dan Keller, John Barber, and Alex Major, started playing together just over a year ago and their immediate musical chemistry was so exciting that they began recording their first EP as a lineup, End Scene, within five months of joining forces. ... more
