Album :: Devine Lies
Continually pushing the boundaries of modern rock, Devine Lie flex their creative muscle on their first album, Devine Lies. Diverse, thought provoking, alternative songs with haunting hooks and emotional impact.
Anchored by a solid rhythm section, Devine Lie play a mixture of instruments to catch the mood of the song and to sculpt descriptive soundscapes – from haunting pipes to illuminate the song Dromoland, which was written in the grounds of ancient Dromoland Castle in Ireland, to multi layered electric guitars on Barquentine’s Gasp, possibly the only song ever written about one of the characters from Mervyn Peake’s Titus Groan Gormenghast trilogy.

Lyrics :: Devine Lies
Whatever you might say
They say it’s wrong
Whatever you might do
It’s just the same old song
Feel the grief
Feel the pain
Widows scream
Soldiers die
But we all know
It’s just Devine lies
Search the barren land
Find the charm
Search the buried tombs
Touch the withered arm
Squeeze the juice
Squeeze the frame
Mothers scream
Children cry
But we all know
It’s just Devine Lies
Lift the saddened veil
Sallow eyes
Free the tethered soul
See how she cries
Grab the stare
Take the strain
Hear the prayer
So arcane
Fascist thoughts
Controlling eye
Don’t they know
It’s just Devine Lies
Lyrics :: Barquentine’s Gasp
Keda
What you waiting for
You know you’ve got to go
Got to slam the door
Fire rages brightly
Around the ancient walls
Your last gasp echoes
Through the Castle Halls
I tried to save you
Tried to save you so hard
Doctor believe me
I meant no harm
Keda
Go through the glade
The carvers will guide you
All along the way
The shadowy figures
On the roof still peer
Memories linger
But only I will steer
I tried to save you
Tried to save you so hard
Doctor believe me
I meant no harm
Lyrics :: Stay
Stay
And be kind to me
Stay
Life’s no guarantee
If only you could see
What’s happening to me
You’d stay
You’d stay
You’d stay with me
Stay
Give me all your love
Stay
I’m not the one your sick of
A dimming sunlit glow
Is all I’ll have to show
Just stay
Just stay
Just stay with me
Lyrics :: Just Leave
Life’s what you make it
Love’s what takes it
Come on
Come on
Love’s the only fee
Life’s your tragedy
Come on
Come on
Never grabbed the chance
Never slipped a glance
Leave
Just leave
Always quick to bite
Never missed a fight
Go
Just go
Life’s how you make it
Lie don’t fake it
Come on
Come on
Try all you can
Try and make a stand
Come on
Come on
Never grabbed the chance
Never slipped a glance
Leave
Just leave
Always quick to bite
Never missed a fight
Go
Just go
Love’s never free
Love’s a massive fee
Come on
Come on
Life’s a final turn
Love’s what make it burn
Come on
Come on
Never grabbed the chance
Never slipped a glance
Leave
Just leave
Always quick to bite
Never missed a fight
Go
Just go
Lyrics :: Underground
Walking down a dark street
Waiting for the girl
Street lights begin to flicker
You start your twirl
Deep dirty underground
Been a long time
Since I committed a crime
Been a long time
What was I expecting to find
Another world far removed
From the daily grind
Deep inside a place
I’ve just started to find
Deep dirty underground
Been a long time
Since I committed a crime
Been a long time
What was I expecting to find
You were someone’s daughter
I’m someone’s son
Who sets the lines
That drive us underground
Deep dirty underground
Been a long time
Since I committed a crime
Been a long time
What was I expecting to find
Lyrics :: Time
Time is precious
Time is fear
Time is always
Far too near
Time to think
Time to cry
Time is gone
Before you sigh
Before you die
Time is money
Time is clear
Time is only a
Second tear
Time to see
Time to lie
Time is gone before you sigh
Before you die
It’s just Devine Lies
Lyrics :: Eyes
Your eyes
Led me on
Led me astray
Led me away
Away
From today
From white walls
From cluttered halls
I’m sure
Sure you knew
I was hooked
Hooked right through
Eyes made me cry
Made me lie
Made me fly
Away
Eyes made me see
Made me need
Need to be
Free
Your eyes
Led me on
Led me astray
Led me away
Away
From what’s grey
From those stares
From those glares
I’m sure
Sure you knew
I was hooked
Hooked right through
