lyrics

Nourished war, my defeat
This idle rank, melts in the heat

For the ink is a club in the hands of time
And the word is a shield At war with rhyme
Doesn’t grow in the heat (nor) drown in the shower
As the hour and the place seem mine

I strike at the center
Of a splendid beat
With a need to enter
And a verse indeed

Dissident soul, first class seat
Rhythm of fall, when the leaves hit the street

For spring is a pawn in the life of a hero
For it’s birth not battle, It’ll burst like a bubble
He’ll melt in the heat, he’ll drown in the shower
He’ll stumble over words and feet

It’s better to be vile
Than be a violent creep
It’s better to be hated
When the hate’s so deep

Is it all but the time to be mended
Is the call for absence ignored
May the best things come
Come to the one that resents it
May the last thing to be seen be fall

Nourished war, my defeat
This idle rank, melts in the heat

For the ink is a club in the hands of time
And the word is a shield At war with rhyme
Doesn’t grow in the heat (nor) drown in the shower
As the hour and the place seem mine

I strike at the center
Of a splendid beat
With a need to enter
And a verse indeed

Is it all but the time to be mended
Is the call for absence ignored
May the best things come
Come to the one that resents it
May the last thing to be seen be fall

about

Battersea image

Battersea Netherlands

Battersea smeedt songs. We zoeken catchy refreinen en gitaarlijnen. Ze duiken op waar we samen komen: in de studio, in de repetitieruimte. Onze songs bouwen we op een sterk ritme en een dragende basis van bastonen. De gitaarpartijen zetten de toon voor de sfeer en vullen de vocale harmonieën aan. Elke snare, elke tokkel en elk contrapunt wordt gewogen, tot het staat als een huis.
