Lyrics

Throws his legs off the edge of his bed
A day by himself is what he expects
His eyes and smile, they’re just the same
The rest of him beaten and fallen with age

He was never a hero
No not for one day
He was never a hero
No not for one day

Looks in the cupboard for his cheap tin mask
Why does he wear it? Why do you ask?
The light inside is broken but he still works
The sunshine and the sadness just make it worse

He was never a hero
No not for one day
He was never a hero
No not for one day

La la la la la la
La la la la la la

Like war and peace and love and hate
He left them with the milk at the garden gate
The sound of trumpets ring in his ears
The man who fears nothing has nothing but fears

He was never a hero
No not for one day
He was never a hero
No not for one day

Never a Hero (Raw Acoustic Singer-Songwriter) - These Guitars Say Sorry | Indie Folk Ballad

Hands Before the Reckoning is a record about the moments that exist just before consequence, the quiet seconds when choices are still ours, when conviction hasn’t yet been tested, and when the weight of what we’ve done hasn’t fully arrived. It lives in the space between intention and outcome, where resolve wavers and truth begins to surface.

Lyrically, the album walks through broken rooms, late-night confessions, and moral crossroads, examining how desire, faith, regret, and self-deception shape who we become. These songs are not concerned with absolution or spectacle, but with ownership, the realization that no one escapes the results of their actions, and no one is spared the responsibility of choice.

The title speaks to hands as both instruments and witnesses: hands that reach, hands that fail, hands that push away what they should have held. Before the reckoning arrives, these hands still move freely, capable of harm or healing, surrender or defiance.

Musically, the record balances aggression and restraint, pairing visceral heaviness with moments of reflection. It’s an album that doesn’t rush toward answers, but instead forces the listener to stand still and confront the cost of their decisions, before time closes the door.

Hands Before the Reckoning is not a confession.
It is the pause before one.

Habits That Endure

3NDL355 W4R5

Reflective song about postponing heartbreak—knowing the truth is coming, but not having the strength to face it yet. It captures that quiet moment after a relationship cracks, when avoidance feels safer than acceptance and regret can wait until tomorrow.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Your note sat on the table,
Said you’re done with all of this.
I stared a while, felt unstable,
Then I let the moment miss.
I know I should face the ending,
But I’m not there yet.

[Chorus]
Raincheck on regret,
Can’t face it tonight.
Raincheck on the truth
Hiding in the light.
I know the storm is coming,
But I’m not ready yet.
Raincheck on regret.

[Verse 2]
Your shadow in the doorway,
Feels like it never left.
I hear your voice in the hallways,
In the quiet, in the rest.
I know what I should say,
But I’m not brave yet.

[Chorus]
Raincheck on regret,
Can’t face it tonight.
Raincheck on the truth
Hiding in the light.
I know the storm is coming,
But I’m not ready yet.
Raincheck on regret.

[Bridge]
Maybe when the sky clears,
Maybe when it’s calm.
Not tonight, not now —
I’ll keep holding on.

[Final Chorus]
Raincheck on regret,
I’ll pay it someday soon.
Raincheck on the pain
Waiting in the room.
I know the truth is coming,
But I’m not ready yet.
Raincheck on regret.

Freedom

Freedom - John Hardman

Come into my world

coming down
will you reach out
to pick me up

time is no good 
wasted on false promises
 
i'm trying to forget 
like you do so easy

im trying to choose a direction
i have a question for you

can you lay it on the table
remaining faithful
can't be that hard to do

having bad dreams
waking up in my sleep

like i'm chained down
world falls down around me 

gave you the benefit of the doubt
would've done anything to see you smile

know you love to get the last laugh
how do i move past that 

must be a chemical imbalance
you had to catch me so off balance

do you ever try to sit in silence

push me against the wall
watch as i fall
i'm not standing down from a fight

the stories that you tell
you tell them so well

i could almost believe if i tried

Pick Me Up

Tribute to the Legends is a raw, high-voltage homage to the spirit that shaped heavy metal — its defiance, its discipline, its darkness, and its endurance. This album is not about imitation, but about honoring the fire that forged generations of sound, attitude, and identity.

Across ten hard-hitting tracks, AzSolo channels the emotional weight, intensity, and evolution of metal itself: from aggression and resistance to reflection, resilience, and resolve. Each song explores themes of strength under pressure, the cost of survival, identity carved through struggle, and what remains when the noise fades.

The album moves through crushing riffs, cinematic builds, and atmospheric moments of silence and reflection. It captures the journey from chaos to clarity — from rage to purpose — while staying grounded in authenticity and originality. Every track stands as its own statement, yet together they form a unified arc of endurance and self-ownership.

Tribute to the Legends is a salute to the legacy of metal’s pioneers, the listeners who grew up with the sound, and the artists who continue to carry its spirit forward. Loud, unapologetic, and deeply human — this is music forged in pressure, shaped by time, and driven by truth.
