departed
music and lyrics by Lee Rosario Jr.
(2013)
dearly departed I created a life I shouldn’t have started
broken hearted, I conquered the world, now I’m torn and lethargic
We ride on the backs of our failures
Wielding the sword of restitution
Like a knight fleeting into the darkness
We arrive at no resolution
-
I just want you to know this is as far as I will go
Hell has opened its burning gates and shown me my resting place
No, there’s no love from where I come
Only fear and lakes of blood
So don’t you worry, I’m not sorry
-
We swing the axe of justification
Dealing blows to our motivations
Like atom bombs destroying
All our dreams and expectations
Destroyed by love and killed by hope
Watch it die in the words I speak
It’s flame is dim and it’s life is bleak
-
I feel myself running farther
Falling harder
dying faster
-
I just want you to know this is as far as I will go
Hell has opened its burning gates and shown me my resting place
No, there’s no love from where I come
Only fear and lakes of blood
So don’t you worry, I’m not sorry
I departed
Just want you to know
Just want you to know
Just want you to know
Just want you to know
The perfect blend of naive enthusiasm and unfiltered rock 'n' roll danger, leading to an explosive, raw sound. Volcanic, pure, and crushing. Bandcamp New & Notable May 30, 2017

Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
