Harry Harrison Enjoy a good hard rockin’ album? Who doesn’t! If your tastes do tend to go elsewhere, then this album’s not for you. But if you do enjoy partaking of the odd rock-out session, then stick this in your head! Ozzys doin’ what they do best…..goin’ off like a frog in a sock. Guarantied to get your foot tapping rock with just a hint of stoner is what these boys do and they do it very well (I can hear touches of QOTSA in some tracks). Brilliant album from start to finish. Thanks Tracer. Favorite track: Don't Forget My Name.

End Of The Samurai (free) 04:25
I sit at home in silence frightened to stand up We’re all manipulated, stood over and shut up The snakes are climbing ladders On merits they never earned Their prey’s uneducated Waiting to get burned Hey, yeah, ain’t ever gonna be alright Hey, yeah, it’s the end of the samurai I see the honest men get pushed to the side Morals have no place here, eat dogs to survive No modern day Robin Hood, This place is too far gone Keep secrets in the shadows Right where they belong Along the streets that paved with gold The blood that’s spilt the way for all Where has the truth all gone? Am I the only one, Who sees that we’ve all lost oursleves again?
2.
Can you hear me? Or should I scream loud and true? You know I would for you Just let go, ‘cos part of this is all for you You know you want it too And all the world just fades away I’ve only come to play Oo yeah, live and die today Oo yeah, I’m reborn again And I won’t forget what’s on your face And oo yeah, don’t forget my name Cut my fingers, Cut them down till they bleed I kind of like it too People say that “I don’t know what you’re on, But I want some too” And all the world just fades away I’ve only come to play I get down when it’s over I am drunk, only sober
3.
Breaking thumbs until you unlock what you need Subtlety was never the key But your eyes have lost the blackness they once had And you will never feel the thrill again You’re rolling in the money, Seems that crime pays after all You’re hiding in the shadows, And they call you Wrecking Ball Dealt a poor hand and you’re so misunderstood You sold soul, you’re Masters’ slave Bury another unfortunate who got in the way And like always you never know why You’re name is all that you will leave behind But no one knows what it is Float along alone And you’ll remain the great unknown But someday they’ll be looking for you

Get Free 04:55
Hey, you hear me screaming out Place to place faces bearing down I’m not the same as you think Each time that you’re missing me Life is a messy blur Stuck inside, I don’t know where to turn Know that these pills that they give Won’t, won’t help me Hey you self-medicated fool Night after night I dream of you Fear in my drink and fear in my soul Wanting to waste away Time will only tell Where I’ll end up in this broken world I’m so afraid of myself Please, please help me I’m on top of the world again Looking down, I don’t know where I am I’m falling so fast Oh here we go again Well I just wanna Get Free It’s on top of me again In deep and digging with both hands I want it so bad Oh here we go again Well I just wanna Get Free I’m missing you all the same Can’t give it all away I’m missing you all the same Can’t give it all away
5.
Wanting for something, one and one the same Cautions in the wind, hitching to L.A. Set this town alight Coming without warning, head up in the sky Shot down in pieces, there’s no wonder why Set this town alight You all look the same to me, you live a lie You all caught the same disease, you’re starry eyed We all fake celebrity, but I don’t mind, I want mine I won’t sell out, say, set this town alight No one’s a no one, at least that’s in their mind Lost all your reason, come to set it right

Such A Waste 04:09
Feels like something’s missing There’s got to be more than this Slaving for some money Paid the toll to the rich Hey, I feel yellow when I walk away Hey, he takes over and it’s on again Hey, he’s what I always ever wanted to be I can’t remember, Looking in the mirror the black eyes belong to me I don’t need no reason The reason you should know You’ll never be free Until you lost it all
7.
Hold tight men, get locked and loaded I know it’s not right, but I just lie As you fall asleep by the fire And the coldest stone would warm But you are stone cold Then there was guns, then there was fighting When the smoke clears, will I be alive? As you fall asleep by the fire And the coldest stone would warm But you are stone cold, stone cold It’s not a better world, with rules divided It’s not a better place, with bombs colliding It’s not a better place, for what you desire You’re falling asleep by the fire Two was shot dead, another one was wounded How long will I survive? As you fall asleep by the fire And the coldest stone would warm But you, and your desire You’re falling asleep by the fire

"This is a flawless, perfectly executed half hour of pummelling. Full of complex, melodic riffs and relentless, uncompromising vocals." Nick Kays - thedwarf.com.au, February 2009
