Victoria 02:27
lyrics
buy track
Second gear and up to third Went to fourth then back to first One step forward three steps back Suddenly from great to worse Waiting for your life to click into place and nothing works Watching as the years pass by while watching succeeding jerks Its like trying to explain rocket science to a five year old Like waiting for a train in a taxi rank Its like trying to explain a broken heart to a newly wed Like waiting for the rain in a desert land Like waiting for the rain in Victoria

On A Mission 02:46
lyrics

The conviction ended Complacency is in its place I can't stand the feeling Of not holding to the pace Day by day I'm reaching Deeper into my own self Search me, try me, knead me Make me like yourself Confrontation's hatred A million places I'd rather be I'm a child again, I'm wild again I'm fired again, can't you see Domination ending We're given the freedom now of choice Follow on all the others Be quiet or raise your voice We're on a mission We're going to strive until the end It's some decision Follow the straight and narrow friend Your condemnation Has killed the freedom you once had We're on a mission And we'll be here till the end We're on a mission We're going to strive until the end It's some decision Follow the straight and narrow friend Your condemnation Has killed the freedom you once had We're on a mission And we'll be here till the end

about

'Victoria' - originally performed by Wishful Thinking on their 2003 album 'Standing Still'. We've been mates with these cats since we met back in our early years and that bromance continues still to this day. Wishful was the only band that came to mind when considering a Dark Antiskeptic cover. It sounds NOTHING like them.

OG version with much less screaming and yelling can be found here:

The B-side...
'On A Mission' - is a previously unheard and unrecorded track resurrected and revived from deep within the Antiskeptic archives where many shelved, lost and unfinished songs lay. It wasn't anything near this heavy originally.
**Guest vocals by Alistair Elkins from the band...wait for it: Wishful Thinking!

Outakes - in the days of CD's these would-be hidden tracks that patient listeners would skip through 10+ minutes of silence to find at the end of an album...now they're just modern day easter eggs.
