the scarlet Z on purevolume™

Industrial / Rock / Electronica

what once was noir...

...is now the scarlet Z.

this is damien of the scarlet z. over the past several months i have been actively changing the feel and overall sound of our music and the shape of the band itself. what has emerged is somewhat unexpected and very different from what i have previously been working on. do to the number of changes made ranging from instrumentation and arrangement to reorganizing the line up-other players, which are still not set in stone-i felt a name change was in order. i'm sorry to all our fans both personal and those accumulated in 'myspace' land for the abrupt disappearance, but if you enjoyed what i created with noir, then the scarlet z will not disappoint you.

here's to a new beginning...

SOME LYRICS OF OUR SONGS TO COME

"blind obsession"

vrs1.

its all the same
nights gone-
lost in shame.
ive crossed this road before,
but this time i cant complain.
show me secrets
and tell me lies
disolving passions
kept inside
waking secrets held by time
i know i must decide

chorus

so please,
set me free
endulge my interest with your mind-
hold it inside,
bind your sin with reason,
close your eyes and see him,
will you ever breath it in.

vrs2.

its true i loved befor
its true i watched it die-
like voices heard within,
and ive seen the children cry.
disguised and cheated
scattered lines
the sky is bleeding drowning pride
distorted pleasures in dreams untold
when will the story end.

chorus

so please,
set me free
endulge my interest with your mind-
hold it inside,
bind your sin with reason,
close your eyes and see him,
will you ever breath it in.

break

so show me secrets
and tell me lies
disolving passions
kept inside
waking secrets held by time
i know i must decide

chorus

so please,
set me free
endulge my interest with your mind-
hold it inside,
bind your sin with reason,
close your eyes and see him,
will you ever breath it in.

'me noli rogare'

i see you cry again,
underneath the mended sheets,
you've waited in.
i hear you hold it in,
while static hides your covered eyes,
it's close to 3 again.

i know,
things are jaded.
i know,
smiles have faded,
late night calls can't fix what has been done.

ask no...questions,
this is my confession,
i never though i'd see you slip away.
ask no...question,
this is my confession,
i never thought that things would end this way.

(break)

you've heard this all befor,
it lingers through your tired mind,
with traces on the floor.
you said you needed more,
i left a note behind your bed,
behind the hidden door.

i know,
things are jaded.
i know,
smiles have faded,
written words buy time that can't be held.

ask no...questions,
this is my confession,
i never though i'd see you slip away.
ask no...question,
this is my confession,
i never thought that things would end this way.

(break)

ask no...questions,
this is my confession,
i never though i'd see you slip away.
ask no...question,
this is my confession,
i never thought that things would end this way.

"sin"

vrs.1

so you know my secret,
do you promise not to tell,
it's true, i know your story-
it's true, i know it all to well.
can you stay here,
play here
what's done is done.
can you see her,
feel her,
you've had your fun.

(chorus)

so dream child-
it's better off this way,
i've heard the voices crying
and i've seen the demons prey.
so sleep child-
it's better off this way,
let angels swallow poison
and watch them...
watch them slip away.

vrs2.

you should have seen this coming,
and read the signs that you ignored.
so now your thoughts are burning,
while habits gone-
have left you bored.

can you stay here,
play here
what's done is done.
can you see her,
feel her,
you've had your fun.

(chorus)

so dream child-
it's better off this way,
i've heard the voices crying
and i've seen the demons prey.
so sleep child-
it's better off this way,
let angels swallow poison
and watch them...
watch them slip away.

vrs3.

now paintings are in pieces,
masquerading poets die.
no valid thoughts or reason,
can ever really tell you why

(chorus)

so dream child-
it's better off this way,
i've heard the voices crying
and i've seen the demons prey.
so sleep child-
it's better off this way,
let angels swallow poison
and watch them...
watch them slip away.

"under her silence"

i remember the words that carried us,
spirialing out side,
a faceless city watches as each shadow passes by.
hiding indesretions
that manifest in lies-
while love and danger
betray your saviors cry.

crorus

its over over now
thigs arent what they used to be-
these changes from inside of me,
ive burried for to long.
it over now
but things arent as they sholdnt be
these changes that ive come to see
what once was now is gone.

vrs2.

i listen as you whisperd,
and closed my eyes to see.
ive captured all emotion and ive found each sacred key.
silence holding madness
that words and thought explore,
each promise fading
into words portraying me.

crorus

its over over now
thigs arent what they used to be-
these changes from inside of me,
ive burried for to long.
it over now
but things arent as they sholdnt be
these changes that ive come to see
what once was now is gone.

now images are braking and illusions start to fade,
each breath begins to weaken while darkness turns to day.
framing all desire,
incased in glass and steal-
its all forsaken
each heart youve taken away.

crorus

its over over now
thigs arent what they used to be-
these changes from inside of me,
ive burried for to long.
it over now
but things arent as they sholdnt be
these changes that ive come to see
what once was now is gone.

To our listeners,

Any feed back is important to us, be it good or bad.
Please... don't hesitate to leave a comment and let us know what you think.

To add to what I was saying, negative feed back is just as impotant - we aren't going to start fucking crying ;) - your thoughts and ideas mean alot. We want them all!!!!
