Gatekeeper
03:19
|
|||
I am the judge I pass sentence on you
I will decide your fate
I execute from an ivory tower
Poised to annihilate
I hold the keys to the scene
Stick to the things I have seen
Holding the line I’ll be true
I am the gatekeeper
Safe in the crowd individualist
Can’t seem to comprehend
Just for the few who can listen on ten
You hear us condescend
We criticise when the the t shirts are false
But we are non conformist
We analyse every move that you make and no detail can be missed

Caged
03:48
|
|||
Shut down, freezing in the pouring rain
Hope costs and misery is free
These days it seems like we are chasing dreams
Cold hearts don’t care what you can see
Chances pass and your tired of waiting your turn
And your ready to crash and burn
Won’t last indecision has made you learn
Never to return
Caged - this life is purgatory
Caged - decay is mandatory
Caged - just try your hardest to survive
Streetlights illuminate the underpass
Storm fades a moment of reprieve
Amber memories they seem to fade so fast
And the ghosts of history repeat

Confess
04:01
|
|||
I see the light leaving your eyes
Becoming that which i despise
In this confusion you bring fear
To undermine all we hold dear
Under duress you must confess
This aggravation leads to loneliness closing your mind you shift the blame
Or you try to sell your lies
So tell us the truth
I don’t want to hear excuses
I don’t want to be a part of your tale of endless suffering
This story is old I already know the ending I don’t want to be a part of your tale of endless suffering
Here comes the tears here comes the rain
Soaked to the skin with your disdain
You see the world in shades of grey
Such a cynical display

Insomnia
04:08
|
|||
In the night no time for dreams
Nothing ever what it seems
Highly stung I can’t unwind
Too much chaos in my mind
King on a twilight throne
In silence and all alone
Fighting sleep there is no time
Moving mountains I must climb
Sweet embrace insomnia
So begin the endless days
Walking slowly in a haze
Waiting for the dark to fall
Till it comes I climb the walls

Computer Warrior
03:37
|
|||
A picture perfect world a life so indiscreet
Where friends and enemies walk past you in the street
No consequences for the actions that you take
A plastic universe where everything is fake
You hide behind a screen of lies encrypted fortresses defend
A silver screen you can’t be seen this is the end computer warrior
You live in solitude in underground decay
Your subterranean you speak in binary
One day reality will take your guard away
You’ll lose your armour and the world will have its say
|

Mean Streets
03:40
|
|||
Will I stick to the straight and narrow?
Will I stay true will I defend?
But if I had to beg or borrow
Will servitude come to an end
Toe to toe feed the machine
To waste this time would make me scream aloud in vain
Life is hard on these mean streets
Like a rat trapped in a cage
But you’ll learn on these mean streets
Just what it’s like to feel this rage
This tragedy unfolds before me
Impossible to comprehend
This has become a life of agony
So just stay close until the end

Eyes in the Night
04:06
|
|||
Heartstrings are strained
Beaten and Maimed
Losing the breath from inside of me
Must be regained
Control the rage
Bury the pain
Look to your core
Open the door to your enemies
Eyes in the night watching me go
Dreams of the life I used to know
Ghosts of the past must be laid to rest
But how can I tell them it’s for the best
Look to the light, eyes in the night
Here in this cell
A personal hell
Adapt to this new found reality
Answer the bell
Strength from within, forgiven of sin
Bury your weakness inside of you
Never give in
|

Stay Strong
04:06
|
|||
In military order, the people congregate around the sun
There panic at the border
Time is now don’t be afraid don’t run
Towards what you know you can be
Tonight’s the night to change history
You must stay strong, carry on
Though the way is dark and the road is long
Just stay strong, carry on, take another breath and steal yourself to fly
I see on the horizon, they’re lining up to take it all away
Sewing seeds of indecision, i never wanted it to end up this way

Oath Sc Edinburgh, UK
Evoking the glory of an early 80s garage band Oath is a reverb drenched haze of twisting riffs and serpentine solos. Lose
yourself with Oath.
Conceived in 2018 by Steve Waddell as a solo project, taking inspiration from the Diy ethic of bands like Fetid Zombie and Darkthrone combined with the melodic feel of bands like Praying Mantis and Angelwitch with a touch of prog for good measure.
