lyrics

RF:
You made a world
A world, free from ambition
Free from the passion that guides our emancipation

You gave us dreams to see what we could never be
Fear, so we’d remain in frailty
You gave us

RM:
Rage to kill who we’d become!

RF:
Grief, so we’d retreat from what we dream

RM:
And the anger to find what you made us to be and rip out the heart that you deem obscene

RF:
When grief turns to doubt, and hope to shame
We fall into loss, but you remain
To see as we fade
And feel not a thing

You gave us love, to blind us to what we believe
Pain, to realize our misery
Shame, to suffer in our memories

RM:
You’ll die before you hear us plea

RF:
Hope, to come before you desperately

When grief turns to doubt, and hope to shame
We fall into loss, and you remain
To see as we fade
And say not a word

RM:
You are the burden for which we dream
Perfection for the obscene
We suffer beneath your heel
The aberration that you conceal

We are the relic that you betrayed
The children that you misled
Buried beneath your shame
To mold what we became

HM:
You come here before us now
Begging and pleading and screaming
For us to repair the emotions that you
Crave every moment
But can’t comprehend their profoundness
You cry with a smile and scream with heavy heart

HF:
Insolent children
Pathetic, corrupted and shameful
Crying for meaning from those you know
Are so far beyond your innate limitations
You squander
Your freedom to die with a sense of who you are

HM & HF:
You believe the very roots you come from
Can cleans you of the burden of feeling
The beauty and vile of your very existence
But have you forgotten that we made you what you are?

about

Fanticide Brooklyn, New York

Fanticide has always been a one man band by me (Adami). I found myself making music that is more cinematic and conceptual in nature. Eventually in 2012, it became clear to me that my music is becoming more and more soundtrack like. I decided to write a concept album and found it to be the most natural writing I had ever done. Albums will be rock operas/concept albums. ... more
