Lyrics

Take Me Down

Scream my name
Raze my town
Cause I believe
It’s over now

I count ’em once
Cut ’em twice
I don’t care
It’s all fuckin’ lies

I must confess that I’m immune
To the ways of my brother

So seize the day
To take me out
Lead the way
Or take me down

Crazy is as crazy does
But I believe in more than words
The temperature is on the rise
Another breath before someone dies

Is this the shit you believe
Saves the soul of your brother

Seize the day
To take me out
Lead the way
Or take me down

Cause I ain’t lying down

I’m feeling something
Not felt before
Not scared of nothing
Won’t fall down this time
Gonna walk down that line
With a smile on my face

I’m making shit up
Cause I’m out of luck
Trapped in the fire, yeah

I’m down all the way, when
I heard you say
Fight to be free

Seize the day
To take me out
Lead the way
Or take me down

Fall

It’s in her eyes
Fasten your seat belt
Look alive it’s time to pray
And as we move on to the future
Don’t forget your present day

And so surviving all your weakness
You realize a kind of strength
Circumstances come to rescue you
Can you feel the emptiness

All the time, time
I fall down in front of you
As your reaching out for something else
Ain’t it time now you face the truth
All the time, time
I fall in front of you
As your reaching out for something else
Ain’t it time now you face the truth

Can’t find my inside this imitation photograph of life
As it is I’m sick to death of all this bitterness and strife

And then I start to realize
Cause at last I made some sense
Circumstances cannot rescue you
Can you feel the emptiness

All the time, time
I fall down in front of you
As your reaching out for something else
Ain’t it time now you face the truth
All the time, time
I fall in front of you
As your reaching out for something else
Ain’t it time now you face the truth

All the time x 4

All the time
I wanna feel for you
All the time
I wanna say
All the time
I wanna be with you
But I don’t

Wish You ill

I terrified with wonder
Dreaming that I’m under
Ancient spirits that can’t see

I hear the call it’s fadin’
My life has got me laden
It’s all a fait accompli

I know
I’m down
I know
I’m down
So fucking down

What path is now revealing
Maybe I’m not seeing
Clearly, really all there is
Every time I wonder
I hear the sound of thunder
It’s outrageous to think

That I know
That I’m down
Yeah I know
That I’m down

And know that every time time I wake up
(I wake up)
That I can barely find my feet
(as they’re leaving me)
And heaven knows it’s taken so long, so long
For me to be standing still
I wish you ill

Oh yeah, I wish you ill

Stand

Curious eyes that lay so deep
As falls the curtain down, down
I endlessly wander from the past
Can the dawn breakthrough I feel the light
Break me right

I can’t stop fighting, ’til this pain drops out of sight
It leaves me broken and bleeding on the road
Out of the night

To tell me fables, won’t slow
Can’t intercept the time
Not this time

The distance, it changes ata glance
Mirrored tricks distort
But I can see my way
Out of night to day

I can’t stop fighting, ’til this pain drops out of sight
It leaves me broken and bleeding on the road

I feel tables turning
When I come alive
I feel my senses burning
Trapped in my sanctuary
Got to take control, believe in me
With the sunrise and bite of morning
I give to the world my fairest warning
It’s I, I’m back
Here, alive and free

I feel tables turning
When I come alive
I feel my senses burning
Trapped in my sanctuary
Got to take control, believe in me
With the sunrise and bite of morning
I give to the world my fairest warning
It’s I, I’m back
Here, alive and free

Woah
I’m Free
Woah
I’m Free
Woah
I’m Free
Woah
Yeah I’m Free

Angel

Long dark hair and remarkable eyes
Whose this wonder of women I’m meeting today
And I am lost
By the warmth in her smile
Her smiles changes
And I’ve nothing to say

She kicks the doors, lights the cause that inspires myself
I hear the bell, run like hell cause I’m hoping
That I fall down
I wanna fall down
I’m gonna fall
I’m falling down
I’m falling down

She’s my angel
I’m here fighting
Is she gonna come down
Have I gone crazy, cause I’m so amazed
By her light and her touch and her sound
Tell me angel
On up high, yeah
Will you grace the ground
Because I crave your essence,
Your grace and your presence
Until then I’m just hanging around

She’s my angel
I’m here fighting
Is she gonna come down
Have I gone crazy, cause I’m so amazed
By her light and her touch and her sound
Tell me angel
On up high, yeah
Will you grace the ground
Because I crave your essence,
Your grace and your presence
I just crave you
Tell me angel
I’m not frightened
Is it cool to come down
My heart has relented
My soul is resplendent
And I just can’t live
Without you

Story

Reckless Empire formed in 2016. Lots of gigging and jamming that year culminated in the production of a bunch of original tracks. Eventually those tracks were filtered down to 5 tracks and released as the ‘V’ EP.

Drawing on a wide variety of rock, metal and prog influences, V represents a good cross section of our style and sound at that time.

In relation to the name, some pronounce the EP as “vee” some as “five”. Officially the EP is pronounced 5. The character V is the roman numeral for 5 and fits in with the “roman Empire” type vibe we were going with for with the chiseled stone artwork. We don’t mind what you call it as long as you like the songs and to be honest half of the band called it V now anyway.
