about

"Sirens," the new single from FORM RANK, is set in a not-so-distant future where the Western world is teetering on the brink of fascism and authoritarianism. The protagonist trudges through a desolate, dystopian wasteland, reflecting on what could have been, yet resigned to the inevitable fate that awaits. This powerful track was recorded live at Akira Audio with Gabe VanBenschoten in September 2022.

lyrics

My stomach’s small
As the sweat drips down my brow
They’re closing in on me
The battle lines are drawn

Can’t run away
There’s nothing left to say
I dream in black-and-white
The colors fade away

I’ve been forsaken
And my back’s against the wall
A sliver of sunlight
The sirens call

I hear the marching feet
They’re banging on their drums
Bloodthirsty crowd
My day has come

If I run away
They’ll find me
String me up
And crucify me

Endless night
A black hole with no end in sight
a pound of flesh
Break me down till there’s nothing left

I’ve been forsaken
And my back’s against the wall
Living in a foxhole
The wolves are at my door

Can you hear the sycophants
They’re sharpening their tongues
Can’t fight the daylight
My time has come

I can’t stop dreaming of those days
They’re fucking gone
A wasted life / I was idle for so long
I never missed the light until the darkness came
The blood red sun / pierces through the grey

Suffocating as the earth swims ‘neath my feet
Stuck between heaven / and the earth beneath
They cry for justice / a peace I’ll never know
A pound of flesh / to feed the crows
