Garden of Lies

No need for mercy words now
I’m crushing in this end
I only need to hear out loud
The screams inside my head
No need for fake compassion
Just feel the sense of dread
Life goes under construction
Licking the bones of death
Each day another destruction
Souls twisted in the air
No words for this sleepless life
Agony cannot be shared
It's coming for me
Hard - stalking reality
In the garden of lies
Screams blow violently

Love Moan
04:08

Eyes cold, down on the floor
Breaths spelling the runaway song
A body naked and a soul torn
Lost hope the day you were born
So, tell me do you still believe
That this monster baby is real?
They called it love, they called it hate
But do you still believe in faith?
A love moan without an end
Drifting in the subway’s bend
Colorized noisy words
Fly in the summer night chords
You don't really need to tell me
That’s the end of our love duet
Your love moans inside my head
Memories float and seasons set
It's two decades in this heartland
No flower will ever grow
Pray now for the rainfall
For the tears start to flow
It's two decades in this heartland
No flower will ever grow

The Fall

All the monsters I have seen
For those nights I couldn’t sleep
Creatures lure me slowly
Nightmares haunt again
In the caves in the woods
Scarecrows lick my wounds
Cursing life’s desire
Shining under skies of fire
Skies on fire…
And the heroes I have dreamed
Fallen angels, broken wings
Bleeding guilt and torment
Down they fall in hell
And all I’ve ever loved
I loved alone
So I lose control
I can’t stand no more
A loaded gun so sweet and calm
A loaded gun has no fun
A loaded gun so sweet and calm
When all the voices have no fun
A loaded gun so sweet and calm
When all the choices end to one
All the monsters I have seen
Many years still in me
Creatures kiss me deeply
Nightmares smile again
In the caves in the woods
Scarecrows lick my wounds
Cursing life’s desire
Shining under skies of fire
Skies on fire…
And my demons come again
All my hopes have flown away

At the Crack of the Dawn

Do these walls collapse?
Is this torment unending?
When the hours pass
See the clowns descending
Now our sorrows break
Through the event horizon
At the crack of down
Search for companion
And the shadows dance
Behind the curtain
Hear their mournful sounds
Like the song of raven
We stumble upon
The maneuvers of fate
Reliving the past
Anguish in portrait
In unhallowed love
In infectious desire
In the hush of night they prowl
We drown in fire

When memories haunt me
Traumas are crystal clear
Thoughts surround me
Merging guilt with fear
So, I hide from the world
And drown my doubt in pain
What truth can I stand for
Forever and again…
I shall fall in trance
For dreaming…
A bleak psychotic dance
No meaning…
The voice in my head
Distorts reality
A lie of what I am
False identity
Dissociation
Feelings I can’t express
Mental isolation
Forever and again…

Once I stared down from a hill
Where the rocks were shaped by the wind
In the shadow of towers who stood still
I saw meadows and flowers looked unreal
Like hundreds have seen before
Many falls and moons ago
And a ghost in black cape roaming here
Among the crosses with no fear
Far away, down in Hades
Where all the tortured souls remain
Far away, on the graves
When all the memories shall be regained
In the shadow of towers who stood still
I saw meadows and flowers looked unreal
Like hundreds have seen before
Many falls and moons ago
Far away, down in Hades
Where all the tortured souls remain
Far away, on the graves
When all the memories shall be regained
Bring no flowers
Just thoughts
No flowers
Just thoughts
Far away, down in Hades
Where all the tortured souls remain
Far away, on the graves
When all the memories shall be regained

Cold Hearts
04:41

When we were young we fall in love
Dreaming together
Fearless from the decline of time
A love bizarre, a promise song
Living forever
The world shined bright in your smile
Then in your eyes a distant sign
Sorrow and coldness
This darkness that flows from inside
Oh the pain is real
But I regret no tear
To warm your bloody cold heart
To make you feel
Years have passed your love is lost
Emotions no tender
Mournful birds away they fly
Your cold heart unmerciful
Won’t surrender
But losing you I think I can die
When I was yours
And you were all mine
Ramblers in the seas of fate
With waves so high
Oh the pain is real
But I regret no tear
To warm your bloody cold heart
To make you feel

Grey is our Colour
04:38

This can't be freedom
This can’t be life
It's sorrow
Rooted in our eyes
It’s in our soul
Deep in our blood
Painted our hands
Drowned our heart
Cause grey is the color of life
For all things that die
And grey is the color for Man
From grief we cannot run
The sense of loss
The pain so far
A ghost in our thoughts
Marked what we are
So take your chance
And seize the night
For your existence
You can’t deny
Cause grey is the color of life
For all things that die
And grey is the color for Man
From grief we cannot run
And you’re bleeding, can you feel it
In the highway lost again

Lost inside
I’m lost inside my sick eyes
Trapped in a lie
I tried to love my life
My feelings hit the ground
Down down down
I'm the one
So if you want to stay beside me
You've got to fight
Cause I'm still inside the night
My feelings hit the ground
Deep down underground
And deep inside I know
I cannot let my feelings flow
Deep inside I only know
It’s hard for me, too hard to show
I thought I could find the cure
Those regrets cannot take them no more
My feelings hit the ground
Deep down underground
Down down to hit the ground

Colours
by The Secret French Postcards
supported by 59 fans who also own “Garden of Lies”
The excesses of their previous album 'Contradictions' have disappeared in this one. Much more focused and polished, sacrificing elements here and there (is far less droney, for example), the album as a whole is more accesible and comprehensive. The tracks have more individual personality, which makes the record more enjoyable and unique than just "another post punk album". A great collection of really solid post punk tracks.
