ben bulcock Amazing. I was so happy to find this. It's real genre defying stuff. Under Dark and The Future are good examples of this, but Razorkids is the one! Very unique, with top-notch vocals and influences coming from all corners of electronic music. All-Wave has a good ring to it :) I have a great feeling about the future for The Kolour Kult. Favorite track: Razorkids.

The Future 04:21
lyrics

Just when you thought the clouds had parted When someone better for the job could not be found Our world is burnt and brokenhearted A place divided by who can and can't adhere Our loyal servants have departed Let's lock our gates and pray they never reappear This is the future you wanted Now, I know just what you're thinking All the money in the world won't save us now Better hide when they come knocking They'll leave our bodies lying lifeless on the ground This is the future you wanted Sick with our chosen disease This is the future we wanted Now we're all living on our knees Don't despair now that night falls Light the world with the fires from our homes So long we've been kept starving Now it's our to feed Too long we've gone hungry Now we're gonna take what we need I can hear you now I can feel you now I can smell you now I can taste you now I can hear you now We can smell you now We can tell you now We can see you now Gonna teach you a lesson, one you'll never forget Your Bastille is broken. Don't you ever forget. Winter Palace is fallen. Don't you ever forget. Gonna teach you this lesson, so you never forget. That this is the future you wanted Sick with your chosen disease This is the future you wanted Now we're all gon' beg and plead This is the future we wanted Sick with our chosen disease This is the future we wanted They're gonna make us bleed and scream This is the future you wanted This is the future I wanted This is the future we wanted This is the future

Overload 03:28
lyrics

We've gotta roll Right out this nowhere town Hit the streets and watch us run them down Sprawl isn't home Waste isn't what we want Central City gonna take our chance Gotta grind out Rip it down the fast track Cut in with the blank kids Push the sound It's time to make them dance They wanna breathe our dreams Awaken from this trance Crash the status Take our future back Come together and crack the code Wetwire interface body/mind is working in time It's time to ride This life is typical We're gonna flood the lines with real crimes The signal's down Now they can feel our noise Find the rails We'll creep in from behind Hack the backups Blade right through the harsh light Keep it lo-pro Ghost right past the goons without a fight They're sleeping on their feet We're gonna drop this beat Throw the brights on in the black of night Data charge static pressure overload Hexadecimal ICE is gonna torch their mind Come together and crack the code Wetwire interface body/mind is working in time We'll find a way to make the liars pay Find a way to make the greedy pay Find a way to make our masters pay Come together and crack the code Hexadecimal ICE is gonna torch their mind Data charge static pressure overload Wetwire interface body/mind is working in time

What You Call Home 03:09
lyrics

Don't fall out of time Let me control you Now follow this feeling When I move, you move Now show me your game cuz I want to play Your mind goes to another level when your body rocks along with mine I think that I can see forever when I look into your eyes Say, we gotta run so if you need a ride then you just come with us and start a new life We move so fast they can't catch us Watch, when we roll, when we roll, we beat the street lights Not trying to push you Don't let them tell you what you're s'posed to do If you need to fly then I'm on your side My mind goes to another level when your body rocks along with mine I don't even care you think you're trouble Just as long as you do your time Sick of this insane city business Every night escaping through the telephone Isn't quite the same though, is it? Let me help you run away from what you call home I am on your side Look into my eyes My mind goes to another level when your body rocks along with mine When I look at you I see double So I close my eyes and put your hand in mine My mind goes to another level when our bodies touch and move in time I think that we will be together when I look into your eyes

Under Dark 05:21
lyrics

Under dark we run Waves of leather sine Short, fallow control Long forms evading light Like a splinter in your mind Weeds, forgotten, grow The word formed broken slights?? Our sentence up The end is written on wall we'll never climb Under dark we run Strung out across the line Stealing breaths of all remaining small comforts we may find Under dark we run Our dead dreams taking flight Under dark we know True hearts are hard to find I can't hear what you say Time begins to wind The dream grids flicker Thick gets thicker The imagined manifests before our eyes Nothing's gonna save you now Pills won't match the wounds I've found Dethroned and old Drunk, left in the cold Drowning in the poison of your lies All our hopes are sold Your vision makes you blind Legs are broke and your hands are empty and still you don't know why Under dark we run Blades have cut the line Now we find that all we have left is all you've left behind Under dark we run Our destination's nigh Under dark we know True hearts are hard to find

The Lie 05:34
lyrics
buy track
Contract is broken Life in default You're standing on my next I'll pay you a visit just so I can let you know that this game is over And I'll settle up the score And you'll be lucky if you see the light of day When I hit the streets and then I start to ride These things are built t'get in my way so I'm gonna tear them down It's not for nothing I turn it all inside out Fist through the screen Blade through the dream You find us face down, bound, and blind Kneeling, cowered behind Serving beneath their sign Only see their reflections and they're shiny and bright Don't believe your eyes Don't believe your eyes No vow they break, ever illegal. There is a cage built just our size They stole the children promised Turned them into slaves to paradise No matter where I go No matter what I do I'm still so alone It's hard to see this world without you Well, these are dark days There is no other way When I go, willing, I hope you can say the same When I jack the dream grids then I feel alive Everything I find, I'm making it my own so I can bury you Just one laceration and I can bleed you out Crash like waves This could be the end of time End of my life End of my time Let my lifetime Let a lifetime pass me by Don't believe the lie No vow they break, ever illegal. There is a cage built just our size They stole the children promised Turned them into slaves to paradise And when did we learn to love the lie? When did safety and comfort blind us to the war we're fighting for our minds? When did we learn to love the lie? When did we wake up late to find that, by sleeping, we sold them all our lives? When did we learn to love the lie? When did we learn to love the lie? When did we learn to love the lie? Love the lie

Run Down 04:09
lyrics

Don't want to die today Won't let you walk away I'm all locked up and far from home Alone again now, always Had to let you down someday Gotta let me roll my own way Better hide your love from me I'm gonna let you fall It's fire and guns on the run down But for the smoke, can't see at all You're there and gone now for the love that I stole Don't want your diamond rings Won't take your vows today I'm all drugged up and far from home Alone again now, always Had to let you down someday Gotta let me roll my own way Better hide your love from me I'm gonna let you fall It's fire and guns on the run down But for the smoke, can't see at all You're there and gone now for the love that I stole It's fire and guns on the run down But for the smoke, can't see at all You're dead and gone now for the lies that I told

Chrome Hearts 05:39
lyrics

Left alone they'll find nothing worth burning alive. I'm alone Say goodbye to love And those eyes I miss them and their lies Alien I'll say You'll have known Any night, any way, I don't mind Say you know Say you're willing to fight I know your cold, chrome heart is a lie There's another way to save our lives Fail to notice I know why Friends you've known Where are they tonight? Yesterday has been bled dry Sad song sated Love is a lie I can't believe you just left me to die Hope this world passes you by Sad song 1989 Fails to load Fails to try Held to mazes, haunted lives. Tonight you say nothing Not another word out of you All dead What a world gone all too long where the young can, idle, lie. Stay alive Come tonight, I will not fall for it Chrome hearts can't be broken They are lost in time

We got the green light cuz it's high time Yes, you know it's high time It's a holy night O what a holy night Kult, kult Killer, killer Kult, kult Killer, killer Bleed thin not ??? make us bleed thin Thieves in suits Devil's uniform Can't find a reason You've got your system Cold, black iron prison We're all just inmates Actors in this snuff film When it's cold we find our heart's gone underground Home sweet home Uur waist gets thin Hopes raise up Your weight comes down We can't hold This pressure's just too much to take I won't let you drop it on us now This time we'll give it back Let us inside Why won't you let us inside? Return this horror you've shown us Why won't you let us inside? We won't buy in when you break all the rules Goldman meltdown If it bleeds, we can kill it We know where you live Kult, kult Killer, killer Kult, kult Killer, killer Lights go out Now we're watching while you sleep The razorkids tear your innards out so the rats can wear your skin We have no choice You make us bend until we break 'Bout time we returned the favor Bleed for us Fill a cup We'll drink you in You owe us this Our fatty lamb Our nourishment We'll only survive when you die Lights go out Now we're watching while you sleep The razorkids tear your innards out so our rats can wear your skin We have no choice Lights go out Now we're watching while you sleep The razorkids tear your innards out so our rats can wear your skin You make us bend until we break 'Bout time we returned the favor

On the run Lock it up Keep it in the box We're on the loose now Gonna have to pay the price I want to reach you but your doors are close to me I want to break through It's total war now There's a cold wind on the rise Froze the heart of paradise Would I still be lost if I believed a single word you said? Shatter I want to tear the old world down and build anew up from the ground Our fickle fates and fortunes fight The lights go out ???? Hoping frost Gone dead to rights We're searching for the signs of life Our final compromise Will I be your sole sacrifice? Let me lie No Will you let me die? No In this season I will fall Sleeping, cold Renewed and thawed From this failure I shall rise Rise Stay awake Raise the stakes Push the pace 'Till they break Stay awake Raise the stakes Glass and steel never did our fortress make Stay awake Raise the stakes Push the pace 'Till they break Stay awake Raise the stakes Glass and steel never did our fortress make You could run hot Fade away all you like On the hunt Stop Find you out in the dark Get what I want, when I want, when I want it Gonna get up Get up on it You could run hot Fade away all you like On the hunt Stop Find you out in the dark Get what I want, when I want, when I want it Say my name All the names you've tarnished Let me lie No Will you let me die? No In this season I will fall Sleeping, cold Renewed and thawed From this failure I shall rise

Solid State 04:17
lyrics

I've searched so long High and low In the end, I've finally found a doorway to you Saw your ghost A vision in sparks Real love Artificial hearts Death, defied But lost? Never Young and beautiful forever Solid state No moving parts Show me the way into the dark No fire below No gods above We are now two We shall be one Come inside I'll keep you warm I am the light and fire you've sought since you were born Signal bleed the eyes My stomach turns as screen confides I hoped I'd found our way out The gleam'll fade? to forms unmade I want to save your soul I'm trying to free your mind The dial spins Blood red lines The carbon burn The silicon mind Trust in me I am the truth, the love you feel No escape No release Senses lost It all goes dark I will give you more than life My love, my body ripped away In my heart you shall survive The rust of age The wage of time Blood and bone turn to steel and chrome You're eating us alive Order built out of chaos mine Please just let me die Filth and vice now is clean, precise We are not alone Mortal time now infinite, divine Is this all a lie? No more hurt No more pain No more fear No more age No more future No more past No more violence No more lies No more fear No more cries No more hate No more love Death, defied We are together Young and beautiful forever Solid state No moving parts Real love, artificial hearts No fire below No gods above We are not two we are now one
