1.
BARREL OF A GUN Nothing is ever gonna go our way Everything we live is a masquerade Driven by the dreams of the rich insane Words of the people are just a pain Hey world it’s a beautiful day Everything is ok Lets play in the garden Just say what I want you to say No troubles ahead Everything is forgotten They know it’s too late When the damage is done And the only thing they see is the barrel of a gun Hey world it’s a fucked up day Nothing’s really ok And there is no garden Don’t say what they want you to say If you keep your mouth shut You will be forgotten
2.
Storm 02:56
STORM Back in the day I didn’t know a storm was heading my way So suddenly everything changed The wind came and blew everything away I’ve got nothing left to say Black clouds already covered your beautiful face There’s nothing that I could do The storm is gone leaving me with the memories of you It’s hard enough to leave this place I promise you this, I’m gonna find a way You’re not coming although you’d like to So I have to find a way to return back to you
3.
SWEETNESS OF YOUTH Within a second you lose The sweetness of youth So now you You feel so stranded So lost and confused A heart breaks in two In those hands I still remember Petrified Motionless Eyes were bleeding Lifeless A fear was born No second coming A heart so cold This cold surrounds me Facing the truth was such a hard thing to do But I surrendered Accepting the truth was such a hard thing to do But I surrendered
4.
People 03:41
PEOPLE Just wanna talk about the people Who just tried to make a fool out of you Just wanna talk about those people Who can never get enough Those who always want to take Not willing to give anything back So I don’t care what they’ve been going through There’s no excuse for such behavior Cause no one is perfect and we all make mistakes But when they go outside to spread the pain it’s not the same It’s not a game It’s time you pay This is your crime So take the stage We know you crave Tonight’s the night So take the stage We know you crave Enjoy the spotlight Just wanna talk about the people Who can never get enough
5.
Chariot 04:20
CHARIOT Silence is a bitch and we will not participate So if you keep your mouth shut We’re gonna scream it out loud And you You’re still afraid to admit that you feel alone Yes you You’re still afraid to admit that you feel alone Cause we will not participate Yes we will not participate In your show We don’t think it is ok To be the ones that need to pay For all the things you fucked up using people’s trust Lies deceit they got you on your knees You’ll never know who they are Till you look them in the eyes Your mind is bound by chains Will get twisted all around Until we all wake up and prove We live a lie We are tired We feel lost No ones here That we can trust
6.
HEAD IN THE GROUND What can I say I had enough? As time passes by And I'm still on the run As far as i know, didn't promise you much From what you expected The opposite you got So don't wait for me to turn around Cause you're the one with your head in the ground With your head in the ground Where do we go from here? For some kind of reason I think nowhere Sometimes it is better to let things go For better or worse? Can't tell, I don't know
7.
The Fallout 03:45
THE FALLOUT II’ve been listening to the voice of the dead Wondering if they’ve got something to say to me I’ve been listening to the voice in my head Wondering if it’s got something to say to me Blinding light will clear the haze Leaving you empty and far from grace I’ll hold you embrace the craze See right through the burning ledge Cause you’re one step closer to letting go Blinded by the sight of superficial hope The fallout painted the skies in grey I can tell you where it all took place Streets were covered in crimson red Picture’s burned into my head
8.
GLORIOUS DAYS From the glorious days To the biggest disaster Greed is still inside of you No lessons learned We’re just going down faster Burn the flag we don’t believe in you I see the people on their knees Asking what they’re gonna do Promises you made never happened I think they never will You better not say… Don’t look Don’t you hear? Everything you do is gonna backfire in people’s tears And yes, we are scared for our loved ones And yes, you’re still not giving a shit Those games you all played behind our backs Are over
9.
BEAUTY IS A LIE Beauty’s a lie Everything’s within your mind It’s keeping you up all night You wonder if there is more to life When you stare at the mirror and cry Remove your mask and tell me no lies You shouldn’t be afraid to smile It stares through the window Wherever you go Crawls right up your spine Beauty’s a crime That will always be by your side Until your pride quivers and dies Blind eyes keep you from the world outside They make you believe you’re one of a kind Hey life take your time, take a look through my eyes You’ll find you’re cold and bare, about to whither and die Ripped apart dragged away by the changing tides Beauty is a lie, an illusion of what we hide
10.
Sex & Via 03:30
SEX & VIA Μίλα μου για σεξ και βία Μίλα μου για σεξ Διαφήμισης, livestyle και ψέμα σ' έφεραν ως εδώ καημένο προβατάκι οτι και να πεις Εγώ μονάχα σε ακούω να λες αυτό Μίλα μου για σεξ και βία Μίλα μου για σεξ ¿Cuál es tu nombre? ¿Cuántos años tienes? ¿Dé donde vienes? ¿A dónde vas? ¿Quién es tu familia? ¿Cuál es tu deseo? ¿Quién chingados eres? ¿Dónde estas? (I don’t know) Massen manipulation
11.
The Road 04:57
THE ROAD I’ve been down for so long I couldn’t even find our song So I left another crack I guess I left too soon My dirty poor and empty hands Unable to feel will destroy Another newborn beautiful romance And all those places I used to see you go Are coming back in my head And I know there is nothing I can do for sure My friends keep reminding me That I’ve been on this road, but I refuse to see I guess it was me But now dear stranger don’t you see A child fighting for his life Set dreams on fire and mute the screams It’s getting late for one more time Not afraid, I know you’ll be just fine Being alone seems to be my fate So I don’t worry, but I feel sorry There’s nothing I can do when I want to be with you No space for something new Dancing under this star lit sky Everything becomes another lie Burning deep This life was never meant to be cheap Naked here I stand I guess I’ve become a man Not able to understand Still I need your smile and you my friend Don’t ask me what I hold in those hands Cause everything I feel sometimes seems so real If you miss me look around You may find me in the sound (Just look around)

about

"The album doesn't contain any weak spots. Cherries On A Blacklist is one of the strongest international newcomers recently."
(Legacy Magazine)

"an awesome album....most notably eleven amazing songs that you will want to listen to in a row again, and again"
(Rheinische Post)

"The first thing that comes to mind is the colossus of Rhodes. And I'm sticking to that thought: "Glorious Days" sounds just as huge and threatening, somewhere between the Bronx, and the Beatsteaks, with a little less punk, but in exchange the rock level is turned up all the way."
(FUZE Magazine)

"Be it sometimes with punk, intense moments, heavy riffs, an urge for speed, or a lot of atmosphere, within about 40 minutes of play time the fan is offered everything that makes up rock music!"
(metal-heads.de)
