lyrics
Dead City
(J.P Mercier/M. Mercier)
Home is where your heart's confined
You wear its shame, you wear its face
Home's where you were left behind
It's scars and memories time won't erase
Home is where ignorance roams
Home is where the bigots never sleep
Where hatred goes down to the bone
Where goes the promises you won't keep
It's where winter sieges all year long
Home is where you try and where you fail
Home is where our names are carved in stone
It's where our last breath will be exhaled
Home is where they love their home
Home is where their neighbours don't exist
Home is walled up with a stack of stones
And home will have you crushed if resist
Where what you wished for in this life
Missed every turn
Where every bridge your raised
Collapsed and burned
Home is where you will find me
My home is the dead city
Home is where your heart's confined
You wear its shame, you wear its face
Home's where you were left behind
It's scars and memories time won't erase
Home's nothing like what we were told
It doesn't get any worse than this
It's much more than a heart can ever hold
An exile I've turned down for a kiss
(J.P Mercier/M. Mercier)
Home is where your heart's confined
You wear its shame, you wear its face
Home's where you were left behind
It's scars and memories time won't erase
Home is where ignorance roams
Home is where the bigots never sleep
Where hatred goes down to the bone
Where goes the promises you won't keep
It's where winter sieges all year long
Home is where you try and where you fail
Home is where our names are carved in stone
It's where our last breath will be exhaled
Home is where they love their home
Home is where their neighbours don't exist
Home is walled up with a stack of stones
And home will have you crushed if resist
Where what you wished for in this life
Missed every turn
Where every bridge your raised
Collapsed and burned
Home is where you will find me
My home is the dead city
Home is where your heart's confined
You wear its shame, you wear its face
Home's where you were left behind
It's scars and memories time won't erase
Home's nothing like what we were told
It doesn't get any worse than this
It's much more than a heart can ever hold
An exile I've turned down for a kiss

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORSsupported by 35 fans who also own “Dead City”
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.

The End Is the Beginning
by Mirror Of HazePerfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals.
go to album -
Perfectly wrought synthpop from Finland with big, towering synths and beautifully aching vocals.
