I set the charges and I ran
Into oblivion of the deep
I created fire with my mind
Everything needs to burn
I became the ember of the end
I made sure I can’t return
You made me bleed
Through hate I will heal
You are the weak
The end is mine to decide
The sun, the storm, the stars, the sea
All this chaos is what defines me
Lashing out verbal abuse
All around me there is bad blood
I'm dying and I’m turning black
This rotten place is cursed
I was never one of you
Through mistakes I am free
The sun, the storm, the stars, the sea
All this chaos is what defines me
You made me bleed
Through hate I will heal
You are the weak
The end is mine to decide

Life Is Just Symbols

Did you hear the sound?
Another cardiac arrest
The sirens went silent tonight
As the colors of red and blue fade
Another part of the city
Another cardiac arrest
Our time will come
Our time is upon us now
Life is just symbols
One second from flatlined
Dance into the pyres
Circle until you flatline
The soul has left the building
Searching for a way back home
Bruised spirit trembles under the thunder
As the elysium fields shines black
Brittle and fragile
The foundation of life crumbles
Life is volatile, death is constant
Life is just symbols
One second from flatlined
Dance into the pyres
Circle until you flatline

Iron Ghosts

I chased it
Every darkness I could find
There's oil in the holy water
And it's going up in flames
Don't know if I'm dreaming of ghosts
It's always been the same
It's a drug I need
Depression takes uniform
Shadow gods and iron ghosts
I wanted darker, I killed the flame
This is not my time, it's not my time
I wanted darker, I killed the flame
It's a drug I need
Depression takes uniform

Sherlock Icarus Gothenburg, Sweden
Sherlock Icarus was created as an outlet for naked and heavy thoughts by Alex Stjernfeldt (The Moth Gatherer, Let Them
Hang).
With shoegazing guitars, introvert soundscapes and droning vocals, the music of Sherlock Icarus builds a moody sphere to lose yourself into and provoke thoughts regarding depression, life, death and love.
