There Are No Angels Here

WORDS/VOX: Ian Whiteley
MUSIC/INSTRUMENTATION: John Kettle

Scraping around the vipers nest,
flaming swords and thrusting spear,
black spiders scuttle to the feast
but there are no angels here.

The dragon crawls into their veins,
hallucinogenic ecstasy or fear.
The demon bares his fangs to bite
and still there are no angels here.

The first-born rounded up and caged,
harvesting the mothers tear,
the innocents are slaughtered.
Yes, there are no angels here.

No Seraphim, no Nephilim,
no Archangel seen far or near -
God’s army keep their powder dry.
There are no avenging angels here.

The dead will rise in Babylon,
false prophets will snipe and sneer,
the doubters branded heretics.
There are no longer angels here.

Tangled up in their own strings
the puppets and the puppeteer.
God is dead and Satan lives
because there are no angels here.

The fool sits in the house of white,
Apocalyptic portents appear.
Despite claiming the hand of God
there were never any angels here.

There Are No Angels Here

VICE SQUAD UK PUNK BAND featuring the original Queen of Punk BEKI BONDAGE.

When you purchase a track from Vice Squad, you are not buying into a corporate punk band, or a marketing exercise in fashion, trend or fake lifestyle - you are supporting one of the few REAL PUNK BANDS with true DIY ethics. All our recordings are self produced and pressed. Many EP's are hand printed and numbered. You support Vice Squad directly by buying their music, and your continued support helps keep the band alive, active and flying the flag for REAL PUNK ROCKERS across the world.

My focus is on songs, on composition, not on style or genre. The songs  usually have lots of space for improvisation. 

I use a simple little application called "Guitar Pro", not really fit for producing, but a dream come true for rough little sketches like these...

Hope you like what you hear!
Cheers!
