"Take a break from the nanny state. Be on the outside looking in. Lopsided global monopolies and top-heavy capitalist philosophies do not make sense. Voice a challenge to those that would keep you down. Battle the spectre of our times - OLIGARCH."

When I left I was nothing but a soiled barbarian red dog, red dog, red dog. So I took my gun such a lonely son, play God, play God, play God. Those watchful Gods won't let me sleep, red dog, red dog, red dog. And sorrow won't go where love is free, play God, play God, play God. Oh Asia divine won't you be mine, we live in a world of moral decline and if poverty stinks then so do I. Salamander glowing.
Sabbath drunk and Sunday divine, play God, play God, play God. Your graveyard face has lost its grace, dead dog, dead dog, dead dog. It's a moral crime when you don't have the time red dog, red dog, red dog. While the fat arms of the damned wreak havoc on the land, play God, play God, play God. Speak of the Devil and he shall arrive. Oh Asia Divine won't you be mine, there is no such thing as a lack of supply. Hello Beijing good riddance Dubai. Salamander glowing.
I don't have time for sad goodbyes, I wear the mask so I can't see. Don't bullshit me with your democracy, dead dog, dead dog, dead dog. Just ditch it in the trash or something like that, play God, play God, play God! Oh Asia Divine won't you be mine, I'll sing you a song that fell from the sky and England shall smile from time to time. Salamander glowing.

I like the subtle way in which the tracks connect to the album cover, making this resting maiden the center point — calm in the midst of storm. (Just my interpretation maybe but the cover gives extra depth to the music... a softer undertone). The image reminds me of ‘Annunciation’ by Dante G. Rossetti used in ‘Adrenaline’ music video.
‘Smoke and Mirrors’ puts me at peace with big disappointments — a bittersweet musical potion.

I've enjoyed The Wake since the 90s. The new album feels like a trip to right where they left off! Goth Rock at it's best! I can't wait to see where they go from here!! aklosowski22
I bought the 12 inch single for Bela Lugosi’s Dead at Fred’s records in St. John’s, Newfoundland in the eighties and it remained a treasured item in my collection until it was lost, left behind, stolen, loaned out, whatever. I accepted that that item was lost to time and likely irreplaceable. Hence my utter shock to see that I will once again hear this evocative masterwork on vinyl along with an extra three tracks. I recall Boys was included on the B-side of that long list single. Thank you! skritti
