about
It is a new era we are living in! All the sci-fi movies of the past are joining together to make their fantasy a reality for us all. From epic disasters and killer disease to crazed leaders and mass unrest we are all stuck in a scene we cannot control. Or can we? The album Concrete Jungle, to be released early in 2021 by Blake has some music for thought. A synth dream with a touch of nostalgia. Here is a little teaser for a track to be released as a single from that album on Halloween 2020 (October 31st). Beyond The Mask takes a look at the current virus situation and asks why, we as a people cannot just come together as a community to beat this. How many have to die before EVERYONE understands?
lyrics
Beyond The Mask
Hidden faces everywhere
All avoiding the poison air
Setting life upon a shelf
Leaving chance to fend for itself
Are they smiling or are they crying
Are they laughing or are they sighing
We’ll never know what lies beyond the mask oh oh
These are desperate times we live in
So many fighting just to keep on living
But no one gives a damn whether you live or die
Many lost but where’s the sorrow
How many more will be gone tomorrow
How long before no-one is able to cry anymore anymore
When you see the faces bare
That is those who don’t seem to care
Living life so recklessly
Playing games with humanity
Let me out is the rally cry
Taking bets on who will die
This isn’t time to be a reckless youth
Let me tell you the horrible truth
These are desperate times we live in
So many fighting just to keep on living
But no one gives a damn whether you live or die
Many lost but where’s the sorrow
How many more will be gone tomorrow
How long before no-one is able to cry anymore anymore
