Parallel Universe

by Alpha Q

PKMetal I don't often go for metal in this style (often called "alternative") because to work, along with all the usual ingredients, it requires A+ vocals and great lyrics that bands in other genres can often get by without.

I'm glad to say Alpha Q has those things and sounds ready for a major label that puts them on stages with Lacuna Coil and the like.

Alpha Q- Darkness 06:21
lyrics
buy track
Come closer to the heart you’re breaking Reaching for the hand that’s shaking Nothingness and no tomorrow Leave you drowning in your sorrow Your darkness keeps me a prisoner Connected somehow But drifting away Confusion’s the word It’s needless to say. The more that we fight The deeper we drown In searching for light Your darkness I found It’s in your hands, you feel it beating The blood’s still warm, that body’s breathing Just rip it out! No hesitation! Replace the heart that needs salvation Your darkness keeps me a prisoner Connected somehow But drifting away Confusion’s the word It’s needless to say. The more that we fight The deeper we drown In searching for light Your darkness I found Your darkness keeps YOU a prisoner Connected somehow But drifting away Confusion’s the word It’s needless to say. The more that we fight The deeper we drown In searching for light Your darkness I found Deeper in the ground Deeper in the ground Deeper in the ground Deeper in the ground

In a dark room There's a man who Keeps staring at a clock Counting seconds Into minutes Knowing there's no going back His hands are shaking His body's aching With the life that still remains Holding on to All that used to Make him feel alive and san This is the man who thought he had the whole world at his feet Who counted coins and bills believing he won't face defeat Thinking of ways he could erase those lines off from his face Every second Every minute he'd replace There he lies now Wondering how He used to be so blind and cold Chasing numbers Instead of memories Digging for treasures and for gold All the love he Used to feel once Turned into sorrow and into pain Clinging on to What felt so true With his last breath he said her name This is the man who thought he had the whole world at his feet Who counted coins and bills believing he won't face defeat Thinking of ways he could erase those lines off from his face Every second Every minute he'd replace Angels of love, come from above Give my poor soul another chance Send me back in Let me begin again I promise I'll live for what I love

Alpha Q- Angels and Demons 05:51
lyrics
buy track
Feel the pressure slowly rising Trying to hold back but you can’t That porcelain skin is hypnotizing Feelings knocked down your defense When angels and demons meet There is a war in the sky Some break their wings while others learn to fly When angels and demons touch A bloody moon fills the sky Some learn to love while others learn to die INSIDE Incarnation of temptation Piercing eyes strip off your shield [What are you afraid of?] Biting lips seeking redemption [Come a little closer!] It’s time to let the monster feed. [You can trust me] When angels and demons meet There is a war in the sky Some break their wings while others learn to fly When angels and demons touch A bloody moon fills the sky Some learn to love while others learn to die INSIDE! The same old God made me and you The angels in me and the demons in you In these dark skies I fight for you The demons in me kiss the angels in you. Please keep a light on inside of your heart Don’t let the cold world turn it to dark Please keep a light on inside of your heart Don’t let them win! When angels and demons meet There is a war in the sky Some break their wings while others learn to fly When angels and demons touch A bloody moon fills the sky Some learn to love while others learn to die INSIDE! Please keep a light on inside of your heart Don’t let the cold world turn it to dark Please keep a light on inside of your heart Don’t let them win!

Alpha Q-Parallel Universe 06:21
lyrics

You shine in all that technicolor I see The world just as it’s supposed to be I wonder could you shine down on me Just once, I’d love to see the light in your arms Chase off every ghost with your charms And step inside your universe. Just let me in into your world It feels so cold outside your walls I’m stellar dust, you’re diamond coal Let’s make a mess and just explode! Bruised skin with scars you carry hidden within You broke down all my walls with a sin And opened up my universe. So wrong! Does this make what I’m feeling so strong? I feel the blood is rushing, I’m gone! Or I’ll do things I might regret. Just let me in into your world It feels so cold outside your walls I’m stellar dust, you’re diamond coal Let’s make a mess and just explode! Maybe we will meet again In a parallel universe I feel like I have touched your soul It’s where our story never ends Though it has been said before Floating through infinity You and me. Just let me in into your world It feels so cold outside your walls I’m stellar dust, you’re diamond coal Let’s make a mess and just explode!

Narrow minded fool Just get over yourself Or you'll be left behind like Dusty books on a shelf Can't you see? You're no God You're no new Mesiah I won't beg I won't bow To your use of power Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah You can't break me Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah You can't break me YOU can't break me With your silverspoons You keep feeding us shit All your endless ego trips Made you so full of it Can't you see? You're no God You're no new Mesiah I won't beg I won't bow You won't hear me cry out Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah You can't break me Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah You can't break me YOU can't break me While you hide behind your lies Do you ever hear our cries? Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah You can't break me Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah You can't break me YOU can't break me Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah You can't break me Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah You can't break me YOU can't break me While you hide behind your lies Do you ever hear our cries? While you hide behind your lies Do you ever hear our cries?

Alpha Q- My Own Hell 06:54
lyrics

What do you do on a ground that's shaking? What will you do when the truth starts faking? You are trapped alone With no way back home Fate is marked in stone All that surrounds you' s slowly breaking It starts to get a little louder All these voices in my head They are screaming in my silence Plunging me to dread Get me out of here! You know I don't belong here Get me out of here! Somebody come and save me just Get me out of here! 'Cause I'm stuck in my own hell Get all your soldiers in a row now It's time to get out of your paranoia! This is psycho mad Get out of your head You're alive, not dead It's just a cage that you build for yourself It starts to get a little louder All these voices in my head They are screaming in my silence Plunging me to dread Get me out of here! You know I don't belong here Get me out of here! Somebody come and save me just Get me out of here! 'Cause I'm stuck in my own hell Voices that spiral in your head Echoes reflecting what was said Mirrors projecting inner fears Memories of sorrow drown in tears Get me out of here! You know I don't belong here Get me out of here! Somebody come and save me just Get me out of here! 'Cause I'm stuck in my own hell Get me out of here! You know I don't belong here Get me out of here! Somebody come and save me just Get me out of here! 'Cause I'm stuck in my own hell

Alpha Q- Make A Wish 03:31
lyrics

I saw him walk by, his nose up in the air Almost stepped on me, he didn't see me there Infatuated, he didn't seem to care. (He's so full of himself/ Fucking asshole] When he strut by on his tall white horse He just stumbled then he fell face first There he found me, lying in the dirt saying "I can make your wish come true, yeah!" I guarantee, all the money in the world will never make you happy, yeah That's guaranteed! Yeah, yeah! You can try You'll come back running for the things that all your money can't buy, so Be wise and decide 'cause it's time! He didn't listen to any warning sign Wished for all the fame and fortune to have in his life I made his wish come true 'cause that is what I do [I'm a genie in a bottle/ Are you happy now?] Twenty years later he found me on the beach He looked so fucked up, there's nothing left to preach But for the sake of this song I will do my speech: " Did I make your wish come true, yeah?" ;) Guaranteed, all the money in the world will never make you happy, yeah That's guaranteed! Yeah, yeah! You can try You'll come back running for the things that all your money can't buy, so Be wise and decide, 'cause it's time! Be careful what you wish for now! Be careful what you wish for! Be careful what you wish for now! Be careful what you wish for! Guaranteed All the money in the world will never make you happy, yeah That's guaranteed! Yeah, yeah! You can try You'll come back running for the things that all your money can't buy, so Be wise and decide, 'cause it's time! Poor poor you 'cause you can't see Nothing in this life has a guarantee! Poor poor you 'cause you can't see Nothing in this life has a guarantee!

I'm all fed up on empty promises of golden days No use in saying all the words you feel the need to say The engine's running, the road is clear It's time to disappear If it makes you feel alive Follow me into the night The wheels are turning, I see no stop signs on the way Leaving behind the sweet addictions and illusions fueling me The engine's running, the road is clear It's time to disappear If it makes you feel alive Follow me into the night I can see it in your eyes You need me to be your guide Circles, in circles, in circles we go Round and around and around, as we know Circles, in circles, in circles we go Round and around and around and around and around If it makes you feel alive Follow me into the night I can see it! I can see it in your eyes! You need me to be your guide Circles, in circles, in circles we go Round and around and around, as we know Circles, in circles, in circles we go Round and around and around and around and around Round and around and around and around and around
