Stage, light, sound, booze, eternal sleepless nights The constant rush, adrenaline, a never ending high This used to be your spot the place where you belonged Sex 'n' drugs 'n' rock 'n' roll were never out of reach But nowadays the fame and fortune cannot be prolonged And everything that went with it has halted with a screech Living in the past is all you've done for thirty years Fuelled by those who reminisce the days you were on fire But anyone with eyes to see and a solid pair of ears Should put you out of your misery and make you go retire Those glory days - long gone Why don't you just move on Let bygones be bygones Those glory days - long gone Why don't you just move on Let bygones be bygones Lately your performances are hurtful to the eye Can't listen to your voice no more I think I'd rather die It goes to show irrelevance is written on your face All have witnessed long ago your Fall From Grace
3.
I hear you thinking I'm no good Don't want to be heard or seen Afraid to make mistakes and to Show your uncertainties Will I ever learn To deal with it and Get rid of my concern Always hiding in the trenches Ain't gonna get things solved Destroy your fears and show yourself Fortune Favors The Bold Fortune Favors The Bold Gotta get out of this hold Can't say you've never been told Fortune Favors The Bold Gonna get on my feet and take this leap Have faith in me myself and I Taking my destiny in my own hands And wave goodbye bye bye…
4.
And this is my foundation I've lived all over the world But at least there's a reaction We both know what we came here for You know the rules, you all know the game And did we tell you the name of the game Clashing with the public's frame I still remember, though ages ago it seems We are just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl And you will go and leave me be You know the feeling when Adrenaline Takes Control A voice from behind me reminds me Can't go east 'cos you gotta go south Like a pillar of cloud the smoke lingers high in the air Can't have no private conversation nowhere Look at how you've spent your life Claims to be a man of God He's noble enough to know what's right Just wait until the crowd cries Up until recently I have been alone
5.
Where have I found myself into lately - I don't know It's like all of my foundations start to crumble And I don't think that I'm in the right position to be able To turn this tide and stop deterioration Take appropriate action Backwards you went Swallow this bitter pill Forwards you need to go Time's short you better make it count Time's short, better make it count Although the best is near, you tend to be blind sighted by The worst, the past, the irreversible Although accountable you're not entitled to a life in pain and misery Release me from these chains And set me free Today is not the end it's the beginning - something good Something better will present itself and Make this a worthwhile experience As seasons pass I'll find myself Looking ahead instead of Back(wards you went, Forwards You Move) Backwards you went Swallow this bitter pill Forwards you need to go Backwards you went Time's short, just make it count Time's short, your life's your own

Out To Lunch 03:22
Driving like a maniac Drive your way to hell and back Deadly like a heart attack Born to lose, live to win Pure, sincere, genuine Can't believe the shape you're in Shoot to kill, you always will Born to lose, Out To Lunch A part of world's minority Honesty's your priority World War II authority One arm bandit, one way ride One arm bandit, one more try No remorse, live 'til you die Shoot to kill, you always will Born to lose, Out To Lunch You're so bad, you don't care Puritans very own nightmare Don't you judge me, don't you dare Jack 'n' coke - don't make me quit Toxic but I'm loving it All that's healthy tastes like shit Rickenbacker, Murder One Showed us how the battle's won Forever silenced, all is done You'll be remembered Motörhead God until your dying breath Lemmy 'til you're killed by death Shoot to kill, you always will Born to lose, Out To Lunch
7.
Your view upon the world Conflicts with mine Your truth is not the truth It contradicts with mine Reluctant to see my point of view That's just a part of you Show some kind of empathy Would be too good to be true Your attitude - causing distraction Feeding your dissatisfaction - preventing all progression My Will Be Done My way or no way at all You don't exist To me an empty void My Will Be Done Your view upon the world conflicts with mine Your truth is not the truth it contradicts with mine You're wondering why you cannot get anything done Well, here's some advice that helps you in the long run My Will Be Done My way or no way at all You don't exist To me an empty void My Will Be Done My Will Be Done My way or the highway – Your way is not the only way My way or the highway – Your way is not the only way My way or the highway – Your way is not the only way
8.
Out of my way, here I come Check your mirror 'cause I run you over with my 4x4 Built for speed so give me some I'm gonna teach you how it's done and make you realize that I want more Rushed To The Bone, behaviour condoned My skills to be honed in my own special way Feeding my own frustrations to others Tryin' not to care at the end of the day Impatient as hell, I can tell No inner peace can seem to cure me from this disease Don't need your advice I know it all too well I'll find me a way to eventually have myself released Unable to stop – way out of control A hazard to all From myself estranged Something's gotta change Maybe I'll find another way, find another day To canalize my restlessness, find peace of mind more or less Waiting for that day impatiently I'll try to be As absolutely cool as I can be but you will see Changes don't come overnight but take too goddamn long The day will come where I can make this change, don't get me wrong Until that day the way I feel is I guess I'll have to deal with the fact That I'm Rushed To The Bone

What happened to the time when all was fun and all was great We didn't care about wages – eager to participate The parties were fantastic and we'd all appreciate Each and every show we did – from way back to the final date Just came to realize suspicions coming true The way you act it goes to show in our latest rendezvous You always wanted all the best for free but we are thru I'm here to tell you we are done with generating your revenue Been around for years – We ain't wet behind our ears The Subject Of Your Crime – You ain't worth another dime There used to be a time when all was fun and all was great We didn't care about wages so we gladly took the bait The parties were fantastic and we'd all appreciate The memories of those nine years but there's this thing called 'fate' Just came to realize suspicions coming true The way you act it goes to show in our latest rendezvous You always wanted all the best for free but we are thru I'm here to tell you we are done with generating your revenue No more volunteers – We’ve been around for years Ain't gonna be this time – The Subject Of Your Crime Reap just what you sow

about

Souls Of Deaf was originated by Sander Stappers (bass guitar) back in 2015 when he first started writing songs of what now will become the first Souls Of Deaf album "Fortune Favors The Bold". Partners in crime are Luc van Rens (guitar), Carl Vereijken (drums) and Francis Van Der Hoff (vocals).
Early January 2018 these four musicians finished the recordings of their debut album at the Toneshed Recording Studio. Expect massive hard rock that on one hand harks back to the sound of the big names from the eighties, yet stays firmly rooted in the now. Souls Of Deaf harbors many decades of musical prowess since all of its members have been active in the heavy segment of the music business for years.
