lyrics

[a. Blue Skies]
Zubair Rehman (13): “I no longer love blue skies. In fact, I now prefer grey skies. The drones do not fly when the skies are grey, and for a short period of time the mental tension and fear eases.”

[b. Drones]
It's been {months in the making - furtive preparation / all in a day's work - careful calculation}
In {shadowy back / calm control} rooms
And they won't see this coming
They won't see this coming, no no

Twisted words of {frenzied fanatics / pressured politicians}
Am I brainwashed? Do they really deserve to die?
And {as the hour of recompense / now as our destination} draws near it comes down to this:
Do you really believe that you can {blast yourself a doorway through to heaven? / judge intention from a satellite image?}

Won't you give me a fair fight?
Won't you look me in the eye?
Or are you afraid that when you do
You'll discover we're not so different, me and you
Give me a fair fight
And one day you just might begin to see
I'm not the monster that they've made me out to be

Why {here? Who / me? God} knows{? / !}
{I‘m just employed / I volunteered} to pull the trigger
And is this courage or cowardice?
I {don't even have to be there / give my everything} to strike you
{when I can send a robot in my place / - the consequences I will never face}

[c. Insomnia]
[d. Hellfire]
[e. Shockwave]
[f. The Hollowness]
[g. Groundswell]

Jo Wilson Inverness, UK

New album, The Grand Complication, is out now!

Part-time complicated music, made at home when Jo's brain gets too full and some of it escapes, and brought to life with whatever instruments can be found lying around.
