Liner notes:
Bitterness is like rust, once it gets into you, it's hard to get rid of. Like swallowing poison yourself and hoping the other person will die. It can eat you up from the inside but even if it takes everything you still have the choice to take a better path based on forgiveness and love.

Words:
I swallowed poison and I thought you’d waste away
I kept the anger and drunk my rage
You’ve got to nurse the hurt or let it go
Move on in the sunrise glow
 
We’re rusted painted faces
We’re dust in wasted places
 
We rust
The sunlight fades and darkens the prisons we made
When rust takes everything
But you can embrace your own wave
 
I gave forgiveness should have saved it all for me
I wrote you letters from self-made jails
You must let heartache fly not let it grow
Come on let your love light flow
 
We’re rusted painted faces
We’re dust in wasted places
 
We rust
The sunlight fades and darkens the prisons we made
When rust takes everything
But you can embrace your own wave
We rust
We rust
We rust

Rust (Full song on Spotify)

Written, Played and Recorded by Chris Monaco

Sad, Sad, Sad, Sad World

This song is about the counterpart to love: hatred and the associated need for revenge and retaliation. 
Another collaboration with my son Freddy (played parts of the guitar and percussion). And my attempt to play the piano as the main instrument and to accompany my singing with it.

Lyrics in English:

Shards

Body scent, swan song, everything's destroyed
War, poisoning, the smell of garbage, it's all worth nothing

Only shards that cut into me
to feed on my anguish

Suffocate any hope 
hands are chopped off

I longed so much for peace 
for honest harmony
now I realize how naive I am
I can't make amends with you

See now the shards that desire revenge
will have a lifetime of power struggles

That can only live on in hatred
seeing love as an enemy

Lawyers, lawsuit, that is your world
You pay the most money for the sharpest advocate pencil 

For you, tenderness is a red scarf 
You're under a curse
That hates to love and loves to hate
that flurishes in warmongering

You're a lost soul, which is increasingly straying
who has so irretrievably confused you at the root?

Who can reassemble the shards without hurting anyone?
...stop your hate speeches, is there a turning point? 


Deutscher Originaltext:

Scherben

Leichenduft, Abgesang, alles ist zerstört
Krieg, Vergiftung, Müllgestank, alles nichts mehr wert

Um mich nur Scherben, die in mich einschneiden
sich an meinen Qualen weiden

Jede Hoffnung gleich ersticken 
Hände sind abgehackt

Sehnte mich so sehr nach Frieden
nach ehrlicher Harmonie
nun ist mir klar, wie naiv ich bin
mit Dir ist Versöhnung nicht drin

Seh` jetzt die Scherben, die nach Rache gieren
ein Leben lang Machtkämpfe führen
die nur im Haß aufleben können
Liebe als Feind ansehen

Rechtsanwälte, Klageschrift, dass ist Deine Welt
für den schärfsten  Advokatenstift zahlst Du das meiste Geld

Für Dich ist Zärtlichkeit ein rotes Tuch
Du bist belegt mit einem Fluch

Der Lieben haßt und hassen liebt
in Kriegstreibereien aufblüht

Bist ne` verlorene Seele 
die sich zusehends verirrt
wer hat Dich nur an der Wurzel so unwiederbringlich verwirrt

Wer kann die Scherben neu zusammensetzen
ohne jemand zu verletzen
Deine Hasstiraden stoppen
gibt es nen` Wendepunkt?

Hyper Lightning Hydra is a one man project exploring the reaches of music with massive layers of sound designed to seduce the listener into some sort of musically orientated metaphysical sense of accomplishment and fulfillment. Spiritually driven. Sensually climatic. The music of the Hyper Lightning Hydra will push you to new mental limits through a sublime balance of cacophony and harmony, in a myriad of styles and genres, by resonating in the deepest cavities of your being.

Beware that all uploads are in lossless formats so prepare for real sound and relatively longer download times.
