lyrics

I take this pen and ink to the flame.
I write in fire. I changed my name.
I sacrifice. I play the game.
Virtue and vice. Fortune and fame.
It's all I've ever been. These bones and tired skin.
Scarred up and tempered. Charred and forged in fire.

She's got her feet up on the dashboard.
We'll take this corner with the pedal to the gas floored.
Because I'm so scared that in this life there may be nothing more
Than just Rock N' Roll.
Better to die young consumed by the violence
Than suffer the angels in heavenly silence.
Scatter my bones and ashes over Rock N' Roll.

I rule the world but nobody knows.
My insides bleed. My hatred grows.
I masquerade. The emperor's clothes.
My venom leaks through tattered prose.
And when it courses in your veins the poison in.
You might just hear me whispering.

She's got her feet up on the dashboard.
We'll take this corner with the pedal to the gas floored.
Because I'm so scared that in this life there may be nothing more
Than just Rock N' Roll.
Better to die young consumed by the violence
Than suffer the angels in heavenly silence.
Scatter my bones and ashes over Rock N' Roll.

I've sold my soul to become one.
I've embraced hell and lived to run.
When my time comes, I'll be undone.
By spoken flame, whispering gun.
A heavy price I know. But heavier still the blow.
But I'd never take it back. Not now. Not then. Nor ever after.

She's got her feet up on the dashboard.
We'll take this corner with the pedal to the gas floored.
Because I'm so scared that in this life there may be nothing more
Than just Rock N' Roll.
Better to die young consumed by the violence
Than suffer the angels in heavenly silence.
Scatter my bones and ashes over Rock N' Roll.

about

New Disaster Austin, Texas

Rock-n-roll is about to get blasted by a fabulous New Disaster and the misfits behind the trigger make no apologies for the wreckage.
Exploding from the rubble of some of Austin, TX's most promising young bands, New Disaster arrived in 2005 like a hell bound locomotive from the wrong side of the tracks.

Pure Rock and Roll. Straight up. Because no one really wants to play around.
