THE AUDITORS 04:02
VERSE 1 Send out the dove No worlds in sight Were shipwrecked in the stars Light the beacon up Request for help Our hope hangs by a thread Cryptic reply Deep in the shroud What does this all this mean Message is clear They'll soon be near We wait impatiently CHORUS The Auditors are on their way now Will they save or annihilate VERSE 2 We raised our hands In love in war Our past an open wound Called to the stand Villains and whores Testimony of shame Reanimate The heroes tale Our best to testify In the cross hairs If looks could kill Pull the trigger on these gods

BLEED 04:18
VERSE 1 Give me one more hope To believe before I let this go I don't know I barely need to a reason Our love got burned Around the corner we turned I don't know What happened to that feeling CHORUS I don't care about the love loss Even if we bleed I don't care about the love cost Even if we bleed VERSE 2 Lets go for one more dance One more shot at our romance Lately I've been Feeling out of season Hey you don't go I know we said yes and now it's no Give me something Something to believe in I don't care about the love loss Let my mind slip when I think of the cost Your worth 10,000 days of pain My love will renew when I see you again

ROLL CALL 05:41
VERSE 1 You thought it would work This camouflage I see you Look so tired I thought you'd come alone Did you think I'd fall For the rouse Your armors cracked I see through I was sure you'd come alone CHORUS Roll call No longer wish to hide Don't fall Just yet till the bitter end V2 Your sure now To make a scene Taking time To load your magazine I told you to come alone It hurt last time You dropped your guard A first strike Places you in charge Why wont you come alone

UNIFIED 05:23
VERSE 1 My heart does not lie Even when you shine your red light It's my conviction Reason never made me whole Reason never broke the mould It's our condition I know who I am The shadow of a broken man Eternity is written on my heart Can't take this away Doesn't matter the hate you spray I chewed over your words and found them wanting CHORUS We All suffer beneath the same sky Unified We All suffer for a better day Another day we pay VERSE 2 Hope does not rely On a star in a distant sky It changes our intentions Fear is a weight unsound you know it's gonna take you down Freedom is not my invention

CARTOGRAPHER 07:41
VERSE 1 Awoken from sleep colored dreams Critical failure – alarm Emergency meeting on the bridge Red flashing lights – switched off to bring calm Consensus is situations getting worse Cartographer we need a miracle VERSE 2 Put out the fires that still burn Water runs deep – water runs dry Power bleeding out switching off to conserve Just drifting now like dust in a cosmic sea Navigation offline time is the predator CHORUS Cartographer we need a miracle right now We can only afford one more burn a trade for a home Humanity relies we're all equals in our plight 2 of everything we needed to set up again The earth was burned the sky turned red History torched long since dead Hanging lifeless in the void We punched out and ran for the stars

about

PHANTOM EMPIRE Christchurch, New Zealand

Amidst thunderous earthquakes and broken buildings, an unlikely mix of three jazz school misfits (a synth player, a chick drummer and a rock guitarist) have forged a sound so large it almost defies logic. A tapestry of influences artfully drawn together, PHANTOM ΞMPIRΞ forms an electro alt-rock experience that pushes genre boundaries, yields surprises and has something for everyone. ... more
