Time Abound 02:52
lyrics

Days are endless Overwhelming More than what I care Days are weary Overbearing Time is my nightmare Weeks are blurry Endless worry There’s so much to do Months come searing So uncaring We are out of tune And the world comes turning round And the world comes crashing down And the world comes turning round And the world comes crashing… Years rush forward We run onward Trying to keep up Decades blurring Gears are churning We have reached our tap And the world comes turning round And the world comes crashing down And the world comes turning round And the world comes crashing…

Don't you know I came from far away Crossed through the universe Untainted space Don't you know I was there Creating fantasies Creating miracles Breaking reality Don't you know Where I've been Amazing worlds you'll see Stretched through a thousand years Beyond infinity Now follow me Don't you know My crazy odyssey No past no future worlds Infinite prodigy Now follow me A journey through this maze A faint reality A web a labyrinth An endless synergy Now follow me

Watch the show Fill my soul Kinda nice It’s my vice Random lights Hypnotise Feather light Drifting high This is a magic Sunday Nothing on my mind This is a magic Sunday Time is on my side On a roll No care at all Holding on To Sunday zone Magic Sunday On my mind All my cares I’ve left behind Bending reason Stretching time Floating on The Sunday high Random lights Hypnotise Feather light Drifting high Monday is so far away In this day I’d like to stay Lost in space, lost in time On a trip it will be fine Random lights Hypnotise Feather light Drifting high

On the road to sanity We will fight the tyranny To regain our liberty We defy humanity Entering the bad zone This is all there is Entering the bad zone Nothing else exists Feel the fire Burning brighter Biohazard All around In the distance Wolves are howling There is nowhere Left to hide World in ashes Wind is thrashing Air is poison World is bleak We have landed In the ruins There is nothing Left to seek

I don't like your reasons I don't like your style You built your own prison And I think you're dull You think you're so perfect You think you're so fine Pretty little princess Hiding in denial Gold cage is your motto, baby Gold cage is your style Looking like a model, baby And I find it vile I don't dig compliance, honey I don't dig pretend I am aiming higher, honey Can't you really tell Hey! Can't you really tell Hey! Can't you really tell Hey! Can't you really tell Hey! Can't you really tell Watch you waste away Wasting every day There is no escape If you play the game I don't like your reasons I don't like your style You built your own prison And I think you're dull You think you're so perfect You think you're so fine Pretty little princess Hiding in denial

We can break the walls in our way We're a force you can't contain We can make a difference Time to take the reins We can set the rules of the game We're a force you can't contain We can light the fire of change Time to take the reins We can break the walls in our way We're a force you can't contain We can make a difference Time to take the reins We can set the rules of the game We're a force you can't contain We prevail through history We will make it through today Feel the power Feel the change We can break the walls in our way We're a force you can't contain We can light the fire of change Time to take the reins Feel the power Feel the change We'll go down in history United we prevail We will not restrict ourselves United we won't fail

What’s your time today What’s your time tonight How you gonna change yourself? How you gonna fight What’s your song today What’s your song of life What’s your sound of freedom Never compromise What’s your act today What’s your act tonight How you cope with empathy You never compromise What’s your world today What’s your world tonight What is the emergency You never compromise What is the religion you’re always looking for Is it an illusion that makes you feel so sure? You are so protective, always in control There’s no satisfaction, what the hell you’re looking for? What’s your kind of way What’s your kind of style What’s your kind of kingdom Never compromise How you’re gonna pray How you’re gonna strive Is this an illusion or Total overdrive What you find offensive What’s your song of love? What you find offensive What the fuck you’re looking for What’s your song of love What’s your song of love Have you found salvation From the fear you’re showing off Live your life in circles Live your life in pain What can be the reason Only tears remain What’s your sound of freedom? What’s your sound of love? You have no experience with automatic guns You have no experience with automatic guns We all live in circles Always on the run Grab another destiny And fight another war We all live in circles Always on the run Grab another destiny And fight another war What’s your sound of freedom? What’s you’re so afraid of What’s your sound of freedom? What’s you’re so afraid of? What’s your sound of freedom? What’s you’re so afraid of? What’s your sound of freedom? What’s the sound of eeeooo For your freedom you’ve suffered and shined All these memories left behind What you call your freedom in the circuits of your soul Nothing is for granted, you can always take control What is so amazing is the way you steal the show There’s so much satisfaction when you live by rock’n’roll Always on the run, this is diamond age Always on the run, this is diamond age Always on the run, this is diamond age Always on the run, this is diamond age

about

The Bad released their second album, “Diamond Age”, the 20th of September 2019.

The opening song of the album called “Time Abound”, which is about the swift passage of time and time anxiety, supported by a stunning music video once again filmed in the Swiss Alps. The powerful and loud “Tainted Space” is about an unearthly entity, travelling through time and space, relaying the story of their travels. The new album also features the booming anti climate change anthem “Fire of Change”, which was sung live by The Bad at the 35,000 people Climate March 2019 in Zurich, Switzerland. This is in line with the political involvement of the band members who refuse to use fossil fuel cars and planes for their tours and use an electric car instead, which they have christened “The Badmobile”.

Their music is a wild mixture of grunge, alternative rock, noise rock, and post punk. They hate being limited by a single style or genre, and they break genre boundaries to create their own sound. Good music does not have to be complex, it’s often the simplest riffs that make the most exciting tracks, so keeping it simple is The Bad philosophy. In the end, everything has been done before and the best way to go is to get back to the roots and work out of the preconceptions of traditional styles. Simple, pumping music, inventive lyrics and a deep love for rock are the essence of The Bad.

The Bad members are adventurous, which transpires in their unique style and can be seen in their videos, the first of which was released in 2018. One of their videos, shot between the crevasses of the Morteratsch glacier, was featured in the Swiss daily newspaper, distributed in about 500,000 copies. Their first EP was released on the 18th of July 2018 with a wild concert in Hafenkneipe, Zürich, followed shortly by their first full album “Simply the Bad”, released on vinyl. German Rock Radio and Swiss channels Radio Munot and Kanal K interviewed the Bad after the release.
“Diamond Age” is published by The Bad Records and is distributed by Irascible in Switzerland, Sonic Rendezvous in the Benelux and Broken Silence in Germany. The release concert took place the 21st of September in a Swiss mountain hut called Boval Hütte at an altitude of 2,495 meters.
