This is the way its meant to be 
my decision to free my soul 
believe in yourself when all those around you have proved themselves hollow 
I've seen it and breathed it and i cannot stay here no more 
we parted and we are now free

you seek comfort and solace 
and you long for their arms around you
you can only see, what you want to see 
free your eyes from this pain and tyranny

I fled in silence, as i built up my stubborn defenses 
against all advice. 
lost my site, my direction and free will

Whats happening to me? 
why cant i recognise what i am 
I'm the monster that's killing my world

Break? for all that was sacred 
for all of the love that we gave it 
We Scream

If you birth it then why would you leave it alone 
as you're watching it burn do you feel t he pain? 
if you left it then start to believe it you fool 
as you're watching it drown do you feel no shame

Break dreams and bones all the same as 
break hearts and skulls like they're nothing 
you save this land for your children 
You're not a hero

I promised myself no shame 
a lackluster being 
I kept on missing the point oh 
my eyes stare in to the sky as i decide to walk away

For gods sake pull yourself together, you see 
because now it is now or never 
you messed up, you fucked up it goes to show that brothers are here forever

And if i cant find a way to contain myself 
I'll bleed my heart out, just bleed my heart out
and if i never find a way, away from feeling 
cold without a doubt, screaming my god damn lungs out

I will scream my god damn lungs out
This is the way its meant to be

Feeding you all the thoughts inside my head, but they were all wrong 
remember the last things that i said? a lack of control
Do you feel no shame?

I wanted to find a way to the end 
I wanted to pull myself from the sand 
and everything comes together and our dreams will meld to form a new horizon

believe me when i say 
i regret all the past, the years that i wasted 
regret all the lives i tore apart in the name of love 
how could i be so cold? 
my mind was clouded by your imperfect dream

Do you feel no shame?
Imperfection

Subversion - Novation

Originating from the mind of Kai Giritli (guitars, clean vocals) in 2008, Subversion is a 5 piece melodic tech metal band from Kent in the UK.

Utilising hard hitting frontmanship from Jay Shields, Kai’s soaring hook filled clean vocals, guitar riffs that sway from heavy groove to epic melody, and the laser tight percussion of Ben Atkinson; Subversion like to dabble in the arts of odd time signatures spliced with huge thought inducing soundscapes.

Their first full length album release “Lest We Forget” (2010) was critically acclaimed by Metal Hammer, Kerrang, Terrorizer and Rock Sound Magazine.

Singles such as “Treason”, “Butchered”, & “What We Are Entitled” received airtime on XFM, Total Rock and Radio 1 as well as various international stations across the world securing Subversion a slot on 2011’s Euroblast Festival in Germany.

Having played internationally with the likes of Tesseract, Mnemic, Monuments, Xerath, Hacktivist and Chimp Spanner been a part of UK Tech Metal Festival & Euroblast Festival; Subversion have proven they are dedicated to their art and ready to take on the world. This is not the Subversion of yesteryear.

Press Quote: 
"Juddering tech metal blends in with the kind of soaring melodies built for arenas to create a sound that is both wall-shakingly heavy and infectiously melodic. Nailing both ends of the metal spectrum, Subversion do serious damage when they get heavy but manage to still get you reaching for the lighter as they reel it in a bit" - Planet-Loud.com
