Assassins of Secrets

first they feared the forest
bright eyes in the dark
underworld held them thrall

then hiding from their our own weapons
madmen controlled the sky
to us they seem so small

today their race looks up to learn
we gather round outside
their mind wall

we are the assassins of your secrets
we can`t see
your human soul
is it a lie about a lie
pretty stories
to cover up a hole
will we ever know


the last wall of their castle
anxious animals
you never were alone
call us by many names
the Enemy the Others
all but your thoughts are known


we are the assassins of your secrets
we can`t see
your human soul
is it outside the lying mind
something you stole
or just another role
will we ever know

Hi Scott,

Love the music that you and Robert create together! You have your own style that is very unique and original.

Cool mix, nice panning effects.

And man, that video is something else!

Scott, you and Robert are doing some of the most creative stuff on this forum. This one is darkly disturbing yet beautiful. Love the arrangement and BiaB choices. Your guitar is tasteful as always, and like the choice not to give it a lot of ambience like the rest of the band. Great lyrics and vocals by Robert. You guys have definitely carved out a uniquely enjoyable musical place on the forum. Enjoyed!

Scott & Robert,

I always look forward to listening to your new songs... This one is absolutely superb. Love the guitar and instrumentation, Robert's vocal and the mix. Outstanding stuff!

Kind of a gothic folk sound. EXCELLENT!

Very cool. It almost has a Tex Mex feel, but sweetened with all those interesting Synth vibes. Supports the lyrics perfectly.

Scott & Robert, what a fantastic song
It is perfect in every way
Great vocal and guitar
Loved it

PS - the lyrics are something Jim Morrison could have written.


The more I get to know people the more I realize why Noah only allowed animals on the ark.
