about

Our drummer Mogan is a bit of a sound geek, always tweaking, looking for different ways of recording and using new gear. Also, he's always said that our songs had an acoustic feel to them. At some point, he fell in love with the Coles 4038 Ribbon mics. He got a pair of those and went straight over to our go-to recording studio to try them out and record some drums the old-fashioned vintage way, using those 4038s exclusively. He and Thierry were blown away by the result so they thought 'hey, we should record an acoustic song with the whole band, using these Coles for everything...' It didn't take much thinking to agree on an acoustic version of Face Tomorrow.
So here it is.

lyrics

I am here I am there
Yet I don’t belong anywhere
Other than the clothes I wear
You can’t hear me you don’t care
You’re living like a drunken billionaire
Lecturing, the world ain’t fair

Would you kill would you maim a million men?
For the sake of surrounding Bethlehem
Imaginary peace in the hearts of men
Who just can’t share Jerusalem
Would you kill would you maim a million men?
In the name of the swath you call your land
A man of the cloth is but a man

Children die and you don’t want to face tomorrow
A siren sighs and you still won’t face tomorrow

Why humiliate why confine
So much hatred for a shrine
End of times too many signs
There’s no healing to be found
When sacred symbols scar the ground
And torn children make no sound

I can’t drown here anymore
I need to reach some kind of shore
Why can’t you just live next door?
People! come to the fore
These fools are rotten to the core
Scream for peace scream for more

It should happen today
We’ve waited this long, waited for ages
