Dreaming in white lights, bleeding through green on my face Jealous of sociable grins, creeping through me Envy it hates me, disgust in my mind, Dwindling execution in lies Spindling fortunes, cracking the surface Testing the waters, scarring smiles into a face But tonight we dance With greed in this fight With our own spoon fed lies I’m begging for mercy Disguised in tenderness Execute the lies we find

Requiem 04:12
Speaking in tongues, holding cards into your chest, the unknown Engaged within fight, from a war you don’t owe So who are you to bring me closer than god? Holding hands at your bed, about to play your last card Now play the game, roll the dice, starving gas from a flame The grim doesn’t reap for his own You’ve brought a knife to this gun fight Placing faith in a joker’s hands To question what more A riddled rabbit’s foot from his motherland A shattered mirror, a black cat, a leaning ladder and a broken clock An old broom in a new home, a murder of crows that shit on your throne So play the game, roll the dice, starving gas from a flame The grim doesn’t reap for his own Bludgeoned by his own god, blinded by a one-sided coin, taken too early, to break a heart that was torn from stone

I try to do what I can, scalping wounds in walls of what it takes to be a man I’m wasting time in my eyes, anxious facing what lies in an earthly disguise I’m losing faith in these walls, wasting lies to my eyes deceive the appalled There’s so many lies around this table tonight, hold tight despite that torture that hangs in your hold Breathing faster now, pushing back all despair in your brain And take what’s yours, spare time that you mis-sold and gave Shatter the world that you hold, at least torture the mould that you scold Watch burn this world to the ground, and behold what is left in the sand Give up the fight, thought you might like taking this control Of what takes all this hate takes insight Buried in fat of this heart Depress the world fine, let reality dissolve in my eyes, and we’re forced to smile I never wish I had to awake, lies and smirks written across your face, you’ve embedded the worst
5.
Miseria 03:20
Digress, forget the notion to exist, waste a life’s worth with nothing to show for it Breakdown and start over again, I’m tired of wasting our oxygen We’re not getting better, we’re giving up on ourselves Self care’s for the richer, the poor’s left to fend for itself Who the fuck’s Sarah Tonin? Suicide’s doubled this year If we quit our moaning what wealth will we gain without fear? Invest time in ourselves, that faith that we need That living’s so much more than surviving to just breathe

White Gold 05:43
Wake up, and lie there with your solemn tear Trickling down since the moon gave into your crooked stare It lacks the heart you wish to bare Moronic affair with your belligerence Sick to death? Try being oppressed for years on end Clear as the glass that’s not even filled half empty yet And you take this for granted with your 20/20 vision Know it all population Would you be proud to call this your home? Mostly built of lies within your ignorance empire Are you proud? What are you owed? Really it means nothing to have some colours in a flag Take this for granted with your 20/20 vision, know it all population Designating your graves too early, that we’re diving with you Pretentious ugly fucking humans pretending in white gold

about

Temple Corrupted is a concept EP, focused on depression and anxiety, and how societal corruption affects individual mental health.

'White Gold' tackles issues around institutionalised segregation of race and the injustices ethnic minorities face, fronting up to how the UK is an ‘ignorant empire’. Unafraid to confront serious events, their track 'Requiem' was inspired by watching a loved one waste away due to illness.

‘Temple Corrupted’ gained the attention of legendary artist Dan Hillier, who lent his stunning artwork for the cover. El Moono are the third band Dan has worked with after fellow Brighton-based heavyweights Royal Blood and Architects.

A reflection on the fragility of life, Temple Corrupted is a fearsome and impassioned EP from a highly promising group.
