BRITANNIA: rule cool fool

From "the storm before the calm" VOL II

STONE PAPER SCISSORS PAPER METAL HEAD OR TAILS

My bank managers in gamblers anonymous
russian roulette with a hand full of sloppyness
time is money with a fancy watch on the wrist
unconsciousness of an honourless economist
poker faced with a sleeve packed with 4 aces
play the joker you will pay with your own wages
a storm brews shut your eyes then the ripple kicks
his pin number reads 0 triple 6 (x3)

STONE PAPER SCISSORS PAPER METAL HEAD OR TAILS

My bank manager tossed a coin heads or tails
1 sides setting sail,the other sides set to fail
overboard overdraft charge upon charge
credit crunch on your credit card
lunch with the fat cats and the lab rats
saunas for the sad sacks serpentine habitat
make the good disperse youll look good in a hearse
a modern day robin hood in reverse
rob from the poor give to the rich (x3)
poverty's paradise life is a bitch

STONE PAPER SCISSORS PAPER METAL HEAD OR TAILS

"i dont know why you would find this funny,but at the end of the day people you dont even know are gambling with your money,your hard earned wage,and you have to foot the bill?,something aint right"

bill collectors with a heart made of STONE,PAPER gets made,gets taxed gets blown,SCISSORS take aim at your flexible mate,PAPER chase,paper trail,paper weight,arse out,glass house METAL shed,heads roll in a quest for queens HEADs,run away with your TAILS between your legs,go take a gamble with my money then im dead

From SKELETON VERSE  "the storm before the calm" VOL II

A town's boredom
A death decorum
the next mans cry for help and you ignore him
kicked testicles
Mixed chemicals
transfixed under relentless heavy clouds

i look at life like why have you cursed me
with this groundhog day in the worst way
i cant take much more trust me
i look death in the eye bloodthirsty  x2

LIFE IS A JAIL SENTENCE NOW I GET MORE TIME  STUCK IN THIS PRISON OF FORT KNOX
DEATH IS A SURE THING BOREDOM OR SUICIDE STUCK WITH THIS ARMY OF ROBOTS
A FALSE UTOPIA,WELCOME TO PARADISE LET ME TELL YOU ONE THING NO ITS NOT
YOU AINT PART OF THE IN-CROWD
I SUGGEST YOU STEP BACK THINK TWICE AND KNOW YOUR SPOT

Past frictions
valium prescriptions
a mickey mouse police force and a council that never listens
escape one day?
on a blood stained runway
fake thugs,fake drugs,cheap drink and ill see you on monday

i look at life like why have you cursed me
with this groundhog day in the worst way
i cant take much more trust me
i look death in the eye bloodthirsty  x2

LIFE IS A JAIL SENTENCE NOW I GET MORE TIME  STUCK IN THIS PRISON OF FORT KNOX
DEATH IS A SURE THING BOREDOM OR SUICIDE STUCK WITH THIS ARMY OF ROBOTS
A FALSE UTOPIA,WELCOME TO PARADISE LET ME TELL YOU ONE THING NO ITS NOT
YOU AINT PART OF THE IN-CROWD
I SUGGEST YOU STEP BACK THINK TWICE AND KNOW YOUR SPOT

RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUNAWAY

Fort knocks

Stand under clouds of dust
Stand mentally concussed
Stand with a hand of rust
and ask yourself why?

Stand under clouds of dust
Stand mentally concussed
Stand with a hand of rust
get buried alive

Life is a test,death is the scholarship
full clip,hollow tip,bullshit politics
dance with your neighbour,do "the apocalypse"

Riders of the storm,pass the gas mask
duck from the backdraft,who has the last laugh?
stars n stripes,union jack at half mast

STORM CLOUDS GATHER now
STORM CLOUDS GATHER now
STORM CLOUDS GATHER
shut you eyes like life dont matter

STORM CLOUDS GATHER now
STORM CLOUDS GATHER now
STORM CLOUDS GATHER
in the wind your ashes scatter

Fly with the sparks
Concrete boots you lie with the sharks
blind faith starts when mayhem embarks

kiss the wind as your life falls in pieces
Fight the current till the tide increases
drown in a bottle of death and find jesus

At the roll of a dice,here's some golden advice
i beg of you grab all your shit and run for your lives

STORM CLOUDS GATHER now
STORM CLOUDS GATHER now
STORM CLOUDS GATHER
shut you eyes like life dont matter

STORM CLOUDS GATHER now
STORM CLOUDS GATHER now
STORM CLOUDS GATHER
in the wind your ashes scatter

Year of the pirates(death to the tyrants)
clockwork orange(open your eyelids)
a future for my kids?(anger and violence)

Smile or be murdered(stand and be slaughtered)
Wild thunder(rotunda headquarters)
Youll never survive(your heads underwater)
YOUR HEADS UNDERWATER

ITS THE STORM BEFORE THE CALM x4

THIS IS,THIS IS THE STORM breath
THIS IS,THIS IS THE STORM leave
THIS IS,THIS IS THE STORM Leave now or drown x2

SKELETON VERSE are from FORT WILLIAM/GLASGOW and have just finished the 2nd VOLUME of their split LP
"THE STORM BEFORE THE CALM" and cant wait to let the people hear their strange take on alternative rock and metal.

Now that SKELETON VERSE have the new Volume in the bag its time for a few doors to get kicked in."THE STORM BEFORE THE CALM" volume II,is inspired by a world gone mad from a global scale to personal level.

BRITANNIA: Rule,Cool,Fool
(A look at our "united kingdom's" take on patriotism)
