about
A swansong of sorts, The Slyde releases their live album + concert film from their 2019 10th Anniversary tour. The band performs their favourite tracks over the course of their career, with selected cuts from their most recent studio album "Awakening." This single, "Prophecy Of Misery," is one of the group's oldest tracks, released off their first album from 2009.
lyrics
Music: Nathan Da Silva and Paul Gillespie
Lyrics: Nathan Da Silva and Daniel Da Silva
Living in a world that’s taken for granted
Pushing every limit without a thought
Veer your eyes around and see the violence
But you bury your head in sand with silence
We can help each other but we’re in denial
Some might say that we will never be saved
If you fear in hesitation, you’ll be left in desperation
Knowing that our existence will be our death
The more I think about this life, the more I tend to wonder
If what I see around me will be gone before we know what’s wrong
Imagine all our focus driving us toward a way to rebuild
Unless we learn to change, our prophecy of misery will be true
Our desire for power is out of control
Funding total corruption and conduct of war
Give your love to the world ’cause she’s forsaken
Turn to those before you and reawaken
The more I think about this life, the more I tend to wonder
If what I see around me will be gone before we know what’s wrong
Imagine all our focus driving us toward a way to rebuild
Unless we learn to change, our prophecy of misery will be true
We are the ones who create (ones who create)
This downward spiral we try to berate
I dream a dream
Where everything is withered and decayed
We’ll live that dream
‘Cause everyone is misery we sustain
Taunting
Every thought about this world is
Haunting
What I hope to see
The more I think about this life, the more I tend to wonder
If what I see around me will be our last chance to prevent misery
Prevent misery
Prevent misery
Hear the message, see what’s really happening
Can’t you see that this is your own misery (x2)
