Low 04:03
Giving in while bleeding out Why should I care if I can't hear the sound Holding on, fading now I have a smile but I feel a frown (Feel a frown) Breathing out, second guess Every dream like there's nothing left You scream as I'm giving out When I let go we all go down in Tears of sweat, sweat and joy I hear nothing, but you hear noise You hear noise I feel low sometimes That's alright, you'll be fine (x3) I feel low sometimes I feel low sometimes That's alright, you'll be fine (x3) I feel low sometimes It's alright you'll be fine I feel low, sometimes I feel low sometimes That's alright, you'll be fine (x3) I feel low sometimes

We were young, we were giants We were strong, just like the lions Hard as marble, soft as shale Smart as them all but still I’d come to fail Where were you when I needed you the most Afraid to come in and see my lying with my ghost We were young, we were giants We were numb, oh so defiant Lies like acid eat through the stone Beat me down and then you leave me here alone Where were you when I was calling your name Afraid to come in and see me dying once again We were young We were young We were young We were young (Instrumental) We were young, we were giants We were dumb for chasing lions Were we weak? Were we poor? If we were beaten down would we keep coming back for more? We were young, we were giants We were lost, as least we’re trying Running circles, losing sleep Rotting so fast that there’s nothing left to keep We were young.

Destined for madness I create to destroy Im living to end this My silence is joy (my silence is) We’re living like babies Searching for toys You might think im crazy My silence is joy, My silence is joyyyyyy My quiet like noiseeeee You have ended such sadness You tired weak boy Cant stop now that I have it My silence is joy My silence is joy, A quiet like noise Mysilence is joy A quiet like noise Solo My silence is joy A quiet like noise My silence is … My silence is joy

Vultures 03:49
A house, not a home Here with you, so alone If these walls could talk, They’d wail Empty bottles, piles of ash Everything built, and smashed I struggled long and failed Palpable misery, air of despair Pleasantries history, long past repair The scattered bones like Voodoo dice Forecast our demise And call the vultures to rip at my flesh They know that you wont hear my cries I witness fouls of hell Baron lands, stripped trees, they tell Forced to death And still…. The heart still thrives Implanted to survive Like finding hell On earth Palpable misery, air of despair Pleasantries history, long past repair The scattered bones like Voodoo dice Forecast our demise And call the vultures to rip my flesh They know that you wont hear my cries As we crawl through the wreckage that once was our lives We’re cut, we bleed, we can’t survive Your thumbs spit poison, your eyes breathe fire, Won’t somebody pull us from this mire The scattered bones like Voodoo dice Forecast our demise And call the vultures to rip my flesh They know that you wont hear my cries

about

We Are Ardent Welland, Ontario

We Are Ardent make alternative music in the broadest sense of the word, mixing lead-footed 90’s grunge rock with the polyrhythms of South Africa. Their classic line-up of guitar, bass and drums is offset by the inclusion of kalimba and is spiced with dynamic shifts between female and male lead singers. ... more
