lyrics

Some say there’s a malady my lady can cure
Some say catastrophe only she can endure
Some say insanity allows her to arrive
I say it’s majesty only she can provide

She has more secret weapons than one
Your kingdom come undone
She’s the shape of things to come

She will reign! She will rain down on me
She will reign! She will reign down

One way the mysteries of peace for our time
One way a history, where the toll of victory chimes
One way Calliope, she strikes a higher kill
One way our liberty, our freedom from free will

She has more secret weapons than one
Your kingdom come undone
She’s the shape of things to come

She will reign! She will rain down on me
She will reign! She will reign down
Reign!

When the history comes to be written
They will say we failed the call
When she wins the war in the ether
And our walls of fire fall

But she will be my Mrs Robinson
And I will be her soldier boy
She will speak with the tongue of angels
And her angels I will deploy

99 cables in constant tension
Send her signal wide and far
And though she’s torn from the pages of Platonov
Still her sword cuts down the stars

Will she throw us all for a half-loop
With the Emperor’s new codes?
Will the made men made in her imagery
Repeat my radio shows?

And will we dream of little Lizzie listening
Deep in our nice quiet sleep?
Will we find our union’s union
Is a promise that we cannot keep?

For she will bring the grand finale
Shadow puppets in the radium glow
Unless we tell her Maidenhead marionette
“In the name of God, go”
She will reign!

Customer feedback for our debut album:

"So I've just listened to your album for the first time. MATE IT BLEW ME AWAY! I'm so impressed. Real quality - really impressed!"

"It's really good. What an amazing achievement."

"Loving the album; have been playing it a lot in the last couple of days."

"I love the guitar work on "Hollow"."

"A Dark Adapted Heart has definitely forged ahead with their own vision on these musical genres. The album is a delivery on big narratives about Life, Love and Loss. I got this album when it came out last year. Definitely worth spending some time with. I'm getting into deeper levels of certain songs after multiple listens. Favourite song is: Without."

"I'm listening to your album again now and I honestly really love it. This is so my style of music so thank you so much for recording it. 😊"

"It sounds ace. Love your voice. Good work!"

"Takes me back to the early days of ABC, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Human League, and even Sisters of Mercy. An eclectic mix of tunes that wind their way into your head - 'Hollow' and 'Without' my favourites. Looking forward to hearing more!"

"I just want to say I've been listening to the A Dark Adapted Heart album all the way through while on my lunch break, and it's really great. It has variety and an overall sound of its own, tons of catchy earworms and melodies, and some cracking lead guitar playing - and knowing what an epic journey it has taken you to complete, I'm well impressed and wanted to tell you how great it is!"
