about

First conceived following a night of heavy drinking, Downstricken is about a rough experience after a lengthy battle of drug abuse. A metaphorical, yet deeply poetic song with hard hitting lyrics and killer riffs.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Your pathetic attempt to resist will be mercilessly shut down.
You were never designed or equipped to survive what lies in front of you now.
I will drain your reserves until there’s nothing left for you to draw upon,
And you'll deny that I'm killing you, but we'll both know it was me all along.

Poisoning your mind with ecstasy,
Broken you belong to me.
Breaking all you are, succumb to me
Revealing your destiny.
TO BE STRUCK DOWN

I'm around every corner you look, you're never getting away from me
I'm the fire burning inside, the only promise that you keep
Underneath the filth is the desire that you seek
I'll give you everything you want but you'll be taking it on your knees.

Now your meagre mind loses control to me
Your aspirations fade away
You told me how so very special you were,
But you all seem to end up the same.

(Chorus)
I'm taking everything you think you know, remaking you in my mould.
Haunting you with all the memories, of who you used to be
I'm striking you down tonight.

You can’t take me, until I fall
Don’t forsake me, I want it all,
Try and break me, vow to save all,
Comatose me, I’m about to hit the wall.

Please give me a little more
I don’t want this night to end
I just need someone to blame,
but myself

Sweating and shivering, I can’t take it anymore
Treating my body like a 10 dollar whore
Reflection in the mirror, I can’t recognize myself
Losing grip, I’ve lost control, It’s like I’ve been….

STRUCK DOWN TOO EARLY
STRUCK DOWN TOO EARLY
STRUCK DOWN TOO EARLY
DOWNSTRICKEN

STRUCK DOWN TOO EARLY
STRUCK DOWN TOO EARLY
STRUCK DOWN TOO EARLY
DOWNSTRICKEN

(Chorus)
I'm taking everything you think you know, remaking you in my mould
Haunting you with all the memories, of who you used to be (you're lost)

So obsessed with all that you'll never be,
Caught between what was deemed to be alive,
I’m striking you down,
I'm striking you down tonight.
