The Edge 04:07
The Edge of regret is the dread of complacency The ledge of neglect is the bridge of respect and the span of monstrosity The Edge of regret is the dread of complacency The ledge of neglect is the bridge of respect and the span of monstrosity You got things on your chest and feel the need to confess, does that imply mediocrity? No! No! No! The Edge of regret is the dread of complacency When disbelief is suspended and you neighbourhood’s upended - That’s the work of some democracy The edge of regret respects the lack of competency The edge of respect is the fear of malignancy The ledge of neglect is that bridge of respect and the span of monstrosity You got things on your chest and feel the need to confess, does that imply mediocrity? No! No! No! The Edge of regret is the dread of complacency There’s two ways to regress astride the blade of regret - That’s the height of pomposity! The edge of regret respects the lack of competency There’s two ways to repress that hollow strain in your chest - There’s no room for animosity! The Edge of regret is the dread of complacency No! No! No! The Edge of regret is the dread of complacency

I’m nicely obscured from what’s going on I abuse this news to fuel my life as a troll My ADD really doesn’t add up It’s a ruse to confuse whatever control I once had. Does a click really, really help someone? Can a click really help to even the score? Am I wasting time even thinking of this? I find it hard enough dealing with my own biz. It's cold outside….. Damn these Hypercriticizing eyes, bless this hypercritical Soul Bless these Hypercriticizing eyes, damn this hypercritical Soul Does it make just a Jot of difference If I choose to Do or defer preference? Cos you know what can be done now Could be, put off until Tomorrow! Or whenever Tomorrow! Or whenever You could go down the lane of memories lost Only showing its face in some random post But constantly ticking inside Is a bomb that’s timed To Blow…… Blow I tried Oh God I really tried But you see I am genetically predisposed I’m predisposed I’m predisposed! I’m predisposed…. To be a moron A jabbering Clown But a fixture Like some Japanese Blind

Iconoclasm 03:48
….Clasm, Iconoclasm… ….Clasm, Iconoclasm, I… The Vandals, the Vandals have it, they wanna grab it, hack slash and douse it in flames ….Clasm, Iconoclasm…I, I… Is Creation, in the ether? Can you feel her? When it is lost, is it gone? ….Clasm, Iconoclasm…I, I… It’s the process that’s all important And it’s for certain There is no evidence of that ….Clasm, Iconoclasm…I, I, I ….Clasm, Iconoclasm, I… I can feel it, like sweaty sinews, strain-mark like tattoos, The breakthrough is imminent ….Clasm, Iconoclasm…I, I, I ….Clasm, Iconoclasm, I,I… Now the Vandals, those Vandals have it, they wanna grab it, hack slash and douse it in flames ….Clasm, Iconoclasm…I, I, I ….Clasm, Iconoclasm, I,I,I… So what’s left now? Distant memories, disintegrating; It’s not what is left but what’s not! ….Clasm, Iconoclasm…I, I, I ….Clasm………………………………..(END)

Looking for an easy way, an easy way through the mire (Mark) Trying to find an easier way, though it may fail to inspire No Problem, listen for a guiding hand, (Dave/God) As it whistles past your face, Slapping you hard in the cheek, What a sobbing, disgrace… Seeking out a much harder way, (Mark) Will the results be more pleasing? A rockier stonier harder way, A product of uptight breeding No problem, reach out for the millstone of reason. (Dave/God) Tie it roughly around your neck Let if sway there another season, Don’t …Touch….Lest…you…. Regret This Watching tying, harder way… (Mark) I’ll eventually feel alright Though it may lack the power to inspire (Dave) This easier way helps me pretend that its bright This aching, breaking raspier way, (Mark) That’s lasting through the night I can zone out not look not listen not learn, (Dave) I can leave, breeze, choose to believe Or just plain be a jerk I’m getting to a place with this, (Mark) A place I thought I’d never be, A roomy earthy Fetid space, But there’s beauty there it’s plain to see No problem, (Dave/God) Look out into the space, See the race begin to cease, Opt out momentarily, Then, come back, And be…

There was once, In a day Where I left Anyway What a Dunce, In my way When I went By the Winsome Stream What a Dunce In my way When I went By the Winsome…. Jackals Flying Squirrels overhead Something’s amiss Who’s that there dead? Rascals preparing to ambush me What should I do (Do)? Run or fear them? Jackals Flying Squirrels overhead Something’s amiss (MISS) Who’s that there dead? Rascals preparing to ambush me What should I do (Do)? Run or fear There was once, In a day Where I left Anyway What a Dunce, In my way When I went By the Winsome Stream What a Dunce In my way When I went By the Winsome Stream There was once, In a day Where I left Anyway What a Dunce, In my way (way way way) When I went By the Winsome (Stream x 4)

Fit In! 04:27
Fit in! Establish who you fraternize with, Once ingratiated, Then Ritualize it Rubber stamp it Externalize it Initiation is regulation, don’t get over-excited Homogenize! Ho Ho Homogenize!

Crazy Suit 03:48
I wandered Lonely, I wandered Lonely, I wandered Lonely, As a lonely person might do I wandered Lonely, I wandered Lonely, I wandered Lonely, As a lonely person might do I woke up early and I did put on a crazy suit No one knew me, No one knew me, No one knew me – I feared that I would go mad So I I wandered Lonely, I wandered Lonely, I wandered Lonely, As a lonely person might do What would you do? X 4 I’d impersonate, an eighties sporting icon. I’d paint a picture of a butterfly leaving a jar. With a band playing in the corner (it was travelling through my hands) Off-putting sounds from the next room (I could feel my own breath) I was travelling, I was travelling, I was travelling It was travelling through my hands So I I wandered Lonely, I wandered Lonely, I wandered Lonely, As a lonely person might do What would you do? X 4 I wore a crazy I wore a crazy I wore a crazy suit that I found in a bag Nobody Knew me, Nobody Knew me, Nobody Knew me – I could do whatever I pleased I wandered Lonely, I wandered Lonely, I wandered Lonely, As a lonely person might do

Let’s be Honest. Let’s be Honest. Lest we be – Lying thus far Lest we be – Lying thus far The things that we hear – barely perceivable The things that we say – hardly achievable The things that we see – must be believable The things that we do – mostly inconceivable The Yield is it sown? Is it cardboard that’s growing there? Opportunity thrown down It could almost be construed as edible The yield is it Sold? Can this product be foisted on Everyone? Disbelief has been worn down Grist to the mill of some minister It could almost be It could almost be It could almost be - Construed as credible The carrots perception Is its’ final deception Let’s feel free – To do as we please Let’s feel free – To do as we please It’s your perception that’s needed – illusion protection Get the dangerous ones weeded – eradicate question Manifesto impeded – information infection It’s your cultures not needed – We’ll just use deflection People’s Habits – weak we’ll grab it Our star is untouchable You can fight over crumbs like bugs Cos that’s what we think of you Ah yeah, we have you sussed Hey expendable – who can you trust? That’s right, that’s right, not your enemies, we’ll get you first At least the priest he was honest Until, he lied about touching

Sailors Mast 04:13
The Praised past is falling down The Hallowed Mast of good ship Sam The fate of most is hanging now Trail-Blazers past is haunting them The Praised past is falling down The Hallowed Mast of good ship Sam The fate of most is hanging now Trail-Blazers past is haunting them Whaler To sail off and up and around the world A stern hand in every port And the sailor’s Mast will haunt them then The relegated past of histories won Is the fate of those who have not won We row on and on, we deftly try To bring it back, we don’t know why Whaler To sail off and up and around the world A stern hand in every port And the sailor’s Mast will haunt them then The Praised past is falling down The Hallowed Mast of good ship Sam The fate of most is hanging now Trail-Blazers past is haunting them Whaler

about

Dublin 3-Piece Jam Hades are giddily unleashing their debut album 'The Edge of Regret' on the 24th of February 2023. As a prelude, single 'The Edge', will be inundating your sonic space from the 27th of January 2023. It's Jaunty, almost dare I say 'Poppy', and despite its dark subject matter aims at uplifting the listener to a state of foot-tapping worldly satiation.
