Switchblade Symphony - Wrecking Yard

Gather 'round to hear this tale
A story which has grown old
Torn of their pride
Stars crash and collide
The wrecking yards grown cold
They may laugh and they may say that
This doesn't happen, oh no
If you happen to see them just listen
Take away some of their pain tonight

These are saddened times today
This sickened place we live
We walk right through the wrecking yard It's
Nothing that we give

Listen now, To the songs they sing
They try to stay warm
But the cold it stays
Houses are worn, Absent of storm
They're burning out, tonight

Dancing in the night they're shining
Up above the sky
Laughing in their darkest times
You'll see them asleep in the rain tonight

These are saddened times today
This sickened place we live
We walk right through the wrecking yard
It's nothing that we give

These are saddened times today
This sickened place we live
We're walking right on through the wrecking yard It's
Nothing that we give we're going
uh uh oh
We're going uh uh oh whoa
We're walking right on through the wrecking yard
It's nothing that we give

Gather 'round to hear this tale
A story which has grown old

Switchblade Symphony was founded in San Francisco in 1989 by composer Susan Wallace and vocalist Tina Root. They released their first album "Serpentine Gallery" in 1995." At that time they were the heart of the San Francisco Goth Scene; and since then, they have inspired all upcoming generations.

Switchblade Symphony's music combined orchestral sounds with heavy synth sequences and ethereal vocals to create a highly original sound resembling The Flower Duet sung over a twisted union of classical music and Goth. Switchblade Symphony name refers to this union, the result of cutting up elements of classical music to mix them with harder sounds.

Sadly Switchblade Symphony disbanded in November 1999. Subsequently in 2006 Tina Root started a new band called "Tre Lux." Later in 2008, Tina Root and George Earth (Switchblade Symphony's guitarist) formed together Small Halo.
