about

"System Failure" is a single from our upcoming third LP. It's one of Eric's songs from the album, a concise and focused blast of epic, apocalyptic rock.

lyrics

Systems failed,
You've had your warning,
Now your world will come crashing down
Into the abysmal darkness,
where evil is flowing and vices are found.

My light's been dim down inside me,
there's nothing around but this dark lonely shroud.
Evil stalking and listening, we're watching, waiting for your
arrival home.

(ah-ah-ah)
It's a long fall from where you are
(ah-ah-ah)
We tried to warn you, we've shown you the signs
(ah-ah-ah)
Hold on tight, you're going down!

We want you on your knees,
the one you pray to won't help you now.
You curse your children, their children,
with lies and greed and a mask of love.
You've doomed us all to this fate,
making us weak so the monsters come out,
Hallowed horrors in the corridor,
waiting for you to show them when...

(ah-ah-ah)
It's a long fall from where you are
(ah-ah-ah)
We tried to warn you, we've shown you the signs
(ah-ah-ah)
Hold on tight, you're going down!

Woah, oo-oo.
