Gates

Son, don't let the colors take you

Don't you dare join this parade

All we are is black, white and blue

Everything else will come to fade some day

You will be somebody

Son, take the beaten path

Your dreams will take you nowhere

I've been in your shoes and out

Listen to me son, you want no other candy

Than what i can give

This is the mould, don't deviate

This is the world, my boy, appreciate..

Somebody get me out of here

By then maybe i will lose your eyes

It's funny how we share the same blood

Yet I will never be as cold blooded as you

Now, i'm fighting my ownself

...Maybe time will get me out of here

Such A Day (Would Tremble To Begin)

To factuality, I've found fatality

And for lies, I found lives

This is the dead sea

This is the red sea

It's only as savage as it gets in your head

See what i see, feel what i feel

If you could save like i save

What are we fighting for?

First to fist from skin to bones

Taste of blood and tears,

It's a familiar fear

No, you would never know

If you put a bullet through my head

Think of the families, kids and the wives

What if i was just as innocent?

So we open our eyes to this facade of camaraderie

It's one for all and all for one and they'll just sell you out

And expect you to take it with a pinch of salt and rub it in

ORDER OF SNAKES

Another old roll of good times and close friends. We will be receiving and uploading our new song "Such A Day Would Tremble To Begin" tomorrow morning. It is one of the two songs, including new song "Gates" which will be featured in our split EP "TRANSITIONS" coming this August 15.

For effective studying, listen to "The Hawk Is Howling" by Mogwai. I am going to do that. Right now.

Happy birthday Matt, who has been supporting us since day one. Thank you.

TRANSITIONS

#1

"Eating In The Studio" live at *scape: The Lab, 13/09/08, our very first show. We'll be playing this song live more, i hope.

LET'S GET OUT !!

Yesterday we recorded our new song "Such A Day Would Tremble To Begin". You may have heard it live. It'll be on our myspace page in a week. I hope all is well.

First time posting on this blog and yeah hope it turns out to be an interesting read.

I just read Jerald's happy birthday wish for me on this blog, and i would like to say that i am very touched. It reminded me of how great it is for me to have so many friends like him, and including him, who remembered my birthday and made me feel special on a day that had me desperately needing some attention. So for all those who wished me happy birthday, and joined in the surprise during the For This Cycle Ep launch, thank you. So much. :) You do not know how great it feels to be appreciated and remembered on a day where hopes get high and often get crushed because expectations are not met. So once again, thank you. So just to let you know that you are personally recognised, i would like to name you. Firstly, Pearly Gan Li Ping, the love of my life hehehe, Jerald Giambra, Zachariah Chow Jiecky Rui, Daowinderkor, lyn, Wei, Ze, macho marcus, phractocephalus hemioloptetrus (spot the mistake), Bunny Loh, Yiyiyiyiying, Mattheen Chia, eh boy, isabella, clara, madi, chestereamo, marcus chua, larisa, jecolia, ryan, james tan, james lai, greg, and there are so many to mention, so basically all who went to surprise me.

Thank you so much, and tomorrow is the day we revamp the Nepenthes Garden.

LINES, A RHYME FOR TRYING TIMES

In these times of grief,

Frustration, desolation,

We just need belief.

ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE

We played for the "for this cycle ep launch" last night. It was really fun and we learnt many new things and experienced many new things such as..... getting caught by HSA and to avoid getting shat on my birds.

FROM BEFORE

It's been a year since we have been a band. I met Coeway last year through a friend. We actually went to buy some fighting fish. Coeway then invited me to help out in a project that he was having with Darren this is why i am here. I have learnt plenty from Coeway. About music, life, faith, love and everything else.

Without him i probably would not be who i am right now.

Happy birthday, Coeway Boulder Thng

NUMERO UNO

Fire Away Samson has always been a band of fun, fellowship and of course music. I created this blog to hopefully create a bridge between us and anyone who listens to what we have to say. There are many exciting things to come, and i don't want anyone to be kept in the dark.
