Citizen Regen Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 (edited) Here is our latest track: Vocals - Ken "Zargg" Nilsen Guitars - Kai Steins Keys - Dave "Bitflipper" Townsend Bass - Ed "Bapu" Kocol Drums - Hugo Ribeiro The Simple Truth (c) 2022 Citizen Regen Verse 1. The opiate of the masses Are the rose colored glasses, we wear They say they keep us safe and sane Hoping we will never complain PreChorus. Something doesn’t seem quite right As they rob us blind like thieves in the night Like thieves in the night Chorus: The simple truth is hidden by magicians All dressed up like caring politicians They act as they know what we need All the while feeding their greed The politicians are feeding their greed The politicians are feeding their greed The politicians are Verse 2. Deny, deny and lie once more It's what's at the core, of them The talking heads talking all day Hoping things will stay that way repeat PreChorus and Chorus The politicians are feeding their greed The politicians are Bridge: Long after we are dust on the plains And they have squandered all their gains A new breed will be tightening their reins And will keep the world forever in chains Synth Solo Guitar Solo Verse 3. Smoke and mirrors are child's play A new scheme today, is hatched Misdirection makes us look away From all they do and all they say repeat PreChorus repeat Chorus The politicians are feeding their greed The politicians are like thieves in the night repeat Chorus The politicians are feeding their greed The politicians are like thieves in the night The simple truth Edited November 7, 2022 by Citizen Regen 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noynekker Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Metal masterpiece guys ! Comes complete with glissando synth, totally works here. Also, shout outs for that low growly vocal harmony, not overdone, but so effective. Those are some cool protest lyrics, makes me want to kick something, but I got neighbours, and can only enjoy in the safety of headphones, for now . . . Great stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeringAmps Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 ?'s to all ? t one quick comment; whenever I see a tune is going to run 5+ minutes I can't help but think "oh boy" (and not in a good way). However, this did NOT seem like its 5+; and that's a big Well Done! here... so one more ?'s 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antler Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Really nice. Lots going on, but everything sounding clean and punchy. Great musicianship all-round too. Loved the effect of the short pause at 3:20. Well done everyone! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
