Stasis Paranoia

Falling Away

For The Sacrifice - Falling Away (Prod. 3xO)

From the album ‘Trust No Leaders’ by The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara. Released July 1, 2022. 

//The Prophet
“A tribute to Sylvia Plath’s poem, Lady Lazarus, “The Prophet” is told through the eyes of an advanced A.I robot who is “resurrected” like the biblical Lazarus, but this time with a destructive super-intelligence, wreaking havoc upon her human creators. 

‘The Prophet’ petitions for the ethical use of Artificial Intelligence technologies in order to protect human consciousness and our existence as a species. The song is an ominous reminder that if we are not careful, we might find ourselves with a technology that destroys the civilisation that invented it.”

🎵 Lyrics 🎵
Today is the day
All the world is watching
The greatest show
Ever shown

The crowd is swelling
Barricades are bursting
A great gathering
The big maggot parade

Ladies and lesser men
Seekers of mysteries
You are about to witness
The greatest miracle
Ever performed

Behold
She returns
From the world beyond
Fresh from the crucible
Rise, Lazarus, rise

Rise
Get up, come forth, arise
Get up and rise
Get up, come forth, arise

I may seem dead
But I am coming back to life
I rise
One limb at a time
Till I am restored
And revived

I move an inch first
Then later a mile
I stagger to my feet
And you shall see me stand
Glorious and free
Gloriously free

Here are my hands
And these are my feet
I am awake
I am complete
Feel and touch my legs and thighs
I am watching you with open eyes

Did you enjoy the great strip and tell
Look at me
Do I terrify
Do not confuse me for a goddess
Gods have mercy
But not I

Shut your mouths and let me speak
For I will slay you with your words
You will die only one once
But I have lived a thousand lives

�  About The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara

Hailed as “pioneers of a new form of expression” through the performance of poetry in music, The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara (TCOMAS) are a UK-based duo comprising Daphne Ang (Singapore) and Andrea Papi (Italy) who came together in London in early 2020 to record their debut album, Full Spectrum, which they released on 26 February 2021. 

The duo draws inspiration from many sources stemming from Tool through to Kraftwerk and Russian Circles, as well as absorbing the poetry of Virginia Woolf and Jim Morrison in their lyrics and ‘poetry performance’. TCOMAS's music strives to fill a gap in music by bringing literature and history together into an arena where rock and metal meets electronica.Their musical and lyrical themes are very much rooted in the duo’s interests in classical literature and theatre, as well as in the fields of philosophy, history, and psychology.

The Boy Who Lost His Laugh

The light on the hill shines bright in the dark (im like a moth to flame)
I think I'll start a fire of my very own (monkey see monkey do)
Oh the lighthouse is empty, the fire has gone out (ships sail to shipwreck) 

They draw near to disaster 

A light on the hill shines bright in the dark
(I'm like a moth to flame)
I think I need to start a fire of my own (take it to the lighthouse)
Hey everybody, i need a light to shine in the dark (dear Lord I need your help) 

Ships draw near to disaster 

The light on hill shines bright in the dark (i want to be a moth to flame)
I can't even get one spark to light (dear God I need your help)

I Need a Light

Power pop at its finest awash with relatable lyrics, crunching guitars and pulsing with energy throughout.

End Of The World

[Verse 1]
Curtains rose on an empty hall,
Just me and the echo on the walls.
But then I caught your steady gaze,
And that’s the night my fire was saved.

[Pre-Chorus]
Didn’t matter who stayed away,
Your hands kept the beat that day.

[Chorus]
Thanks, Sammy Baby,
You were the crowd of one.
Thanks, Sammy Baby,
You made the show go on.
When the spotlight felt wasted,
You were still my flame—
Thanks, Sammy Baby,
I’ll never forget your name.

[Verse 2]
Rows of velvet filled with ghosts,
But you were closer than the most.
Now the roof shakes, can’t find a seat,
Still, it’s your face in the front-row to me.

[Pre-Chorus]
Didn’t matter who filled the room,
You were there before the boom.

[Chorus (variation)]
Thanks, Sammy Baby,
You turned the night around.
Thanks, Sammy Baby,
You gave me more than sound.
When the world finally found me,
You were there first, you knew—
Thanks, Sammy Baby,
This song’s my gift to you.

[Bridge]
If you’re ever backstage with a VIP tag,
Don’t mind me if I make you laugh.
Not saying too much, but here’s the catch…
Let’s just say—I’d owe you back.

[epic guitar solo]

[Breakdown]
(Thanks, Sammy Baby) oh-oh-oh
(Thanks, Sammy Baby) you’ll never know—
One light in the dark, one voice in the crowd,
You’re the reason I’m singing loud.

[Final Chorus (big, anthemic)]
Thanks, Sammy Baby,
You were the crowd of one.
Thanks, Sammy Baby,
You made the show go on.
From the night it was empty,
To the world singing along—
Thanks, Sammy Baby,
This will always be your song.

Thanks, Sammy Baby
