lyrics

My right. My world. Three steps ahead. I rule.
Hierarchy of dreams. At the cost of someone else's means.
Is this law? Is this right?
What is wrong? Who defines the rite?
Everything we do and everything we say.
Along for the ride. Or are you here to play?

Are you sick? Is this fair?
More money. Do you care?
More power. And more greed.
How much is enough? How much do you need?

A sea of red. A sea of beige.
Do you stand? Or do you pray?
We are the same. [We separate!]
Your beliefs. [And my rage!]

What is it you hear? What is it they say?
We are the lies and we are the fears.
Do you seek the truth? [We decimate!]
Do you speak the lies? [We procreate!]

And he said unto him.
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God.
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
And where is your God? And where is your disgrace?!

Struggling
by PYRROLINE

supported by 70 fans who also own “Degree of (Im)morality”

A highly melodic and emotional dark electro album that will haunt you. Pyrroline’s music has always had an intrinsic sadness, but the melancholy on 'Struggling' surpasses anything Arnte and Schmoun have done so far. I fell in love with it right away. virus_of_time
