lyrics

Betrayed by a friend
Its how many stories end
With a Judas kiss
Its always hard to watch
Kinda hard to miss

But there's a price to paid
No matter what you say
You lose, you never gain
Its hard to stop the monster
Now its off the chain

You play the game
But how is it now?
You feel the shame
Shot down in flames

All your life, some grand parade
Showing off the plan you made
But we know, it was a game you played
The curtain closes, the lights all fade

The crowd has all faded
An empty stage
Who knows your name?
Shot down in flames

All the moves that you make
Always seemed kinda fake
Your imitation plastic smile
The Hydra's teeth are upon you child

All of this time
You tried to break the rule
As you sow so you reap
Even if what you harvest is kinda cheap

The truth will always come on out
Of that there never was a doubt
When you hurt the ones you love
You always lose, thats always true

You are so jaded
Shackled and chained
You live the shame
Shot down in flames

All the moves that you made
It was just a masquerade
All the faces had so many names
Now its all shot down in flames

Banshees and Harpsichords
by Niko Tsonev

Unique instrumental album. Tsonev goes beyond 'normal' guitar playing, creating exotic sounds and textures, all the while wrapping it all up within tight and well written songs with a clear direction. Three on the Tree
