This Is War Too An eye for an eye, A tooth for a tooth I'm playing with voodoo, I've put a curse on you Like a dog of war, i howl at the moon A soldier of fortune, I'm gunning for you Trapped in my headlights, lost in the dark I'm seeking revenge, for this broken heart You're locked and loaded, i seek you from far So be my enemy, Cos this is war So Will You Fight (Let's Do It) No compromise (Rise to it) Die with pride (Let's do it) So do it now, now, do it now do it, do it, do it now hoo-ha From shore to shore, from coast to coast You're in my sights, wherever you go You can run all day, you can run all night But you can't hide, from this raging fire You're blind to the light, you're blind to the dark There's no place on earth, you can hide your black heart You're under my spell, be you near or far So be my enemy, Cos this is war So Will You Fight (Let's Do It) No compromise (Rise to it) Die with pride (Let's do it) So do it now, now, do it now do it, do it, do it now hoo-ha What You gonna do? (I'll fight, I'll fight with you) What you gonna say? (I'll fight, I'll fight today) This time, this time, this time oh oh, this time, this time, this time oh oh What you gonna do? (I'll fight, I'll fight with you) So Will You Fight (Let's Do It) No compromise (Rise to it) Die with pride (Let's do it) So do it now, now, do it now do it, do it, do it now So Will You Fight (Let's Do It) No compromise (Rise to it) Die with pride (Let's do it) So do it now, now, do it now do it, do it, do it now hoo-ha

Acid Rain 04:03
Acid Rain Here comes the News The atmosphere has been abused (Rain me down) Let it carry on pouring Storms break the skies I raise my hands to shield my eyes (Rain me down) Let it carry on pouring Rain on me, Rain on down Acid rain burns the holy ground Let it rain, let it pour Oh like a cloudburst, like the thunderbreaks You're raining down on me . . . Oh Acid Rain So cry the trees Poison clouds upon the breeze And the rains of fire, still carry on pouring Rains of disease Yet still we reap the killing fields And the Rains of fire, still carry on pouring Rain on me, Rain on down Acid rain burns the holy ground Let it rain, let it pour Oh like a Monsoon, like a Hurricane You're raging down on me . . . Oh Acid Rain Rain on me, Rain on down Acid rain burns the holy ground Let it rain, let it pour Oh like a landslide, like an avalanche You're crashing down on me . . . Oh Acid Rain Rain on me, Rain on down Acid rain burns the holy ground Let it rain, let it pour Oh like a typhoon from the fires of hell You're pouring down on me . . . Oh Acid Rain

On The Run 04:32
ON THE RUN In a dirty bed sit In the dead end part of town The wolves are at my door And I'm begging a pound I steel a gun and shoot a stranger I'm not the man i used to be What have i done (What have I done) What have i done (I'm on the run) What have i done (I pulled the trigger) I'm on the run (Just for fun) In a railway station Platform 2 is where I'm found Held up in a luggage van On a train that's nowhere bound I'm heading for a cold asylum The sound of sirens all around What have i done (What have I done) What have i done (I'm on the run) What have i done (I pulled the trigger) I'm on the run (Just for fun) Oh momma It wasn't my gun The trigger just slipped All we were doing was having some fun The law are on my back I'm a wanted man Oh Momma, oh Momma Help me if you can I'm not going down I'm not going down Can't you see, can't you hear, can't you feel I'm out of control What have i done (What have I done) What have i done (I'm on the run) What have i done (I pulled the trigger) I'm on the run (Just for fun) What have i done (What have I done) What have i done (I'm on the run) What have i done (I pulled the trigger) I'm on the run (Just for fun)

Runaway Train Black heart inside your shell Everything you touch, turns into hell But i wonder how I'm ever gonna live, now I'm without you You ripped the love, right out outta my heart You took me in and you spat me out Still i wonder how I'm ever gonna live, now I'm without you You're out of control (Don't you know that) There's a 2 minute warning on the radio Don't you know You're a Runaway Train on a journey i don't wanna go With cold eyes you'd stare at me You've taken everything that you could see But i wonder how I'm ever gonna live, now I'm without you Now you're free you're running wild Like a pyromaniac spitting out fire Still i wonder how I'm ever gonna live, now I'm without you You're out of control (Don't you know that) There's a 2 minute (2 minute warning) warning on the radio (And it said) Told you so You're a Runaway Train on a journey i don't wanna go The train keeps rolling It just keeps rolling This train keeps rolling It just keeps rolling along You're out of control (Don't you know that) There's a 2 minute warning on the radio Return my soul You're a Runaway Train on a journey i don't wanna go

A Man Dressed In Black I see him walking down the street one day He turns and looks, looks my way But as i turn to say He fades away He's a stranger in this vicinity He Looks like an agent of mystery And in the long dark shadows He walks the city streets He's a man, Dressed In Black And Like the speed of light he moves through you He's a man, Dressed In Black Through the wind and rain, i'll still keep searching for you Down Avenues and boulevards He flits through Cafe's and City bars I Thought i saw him smoking By a burned out car He's like a ghost who floats from place to place One day i'm gonna meet him face to face But like drifting gunsmoke He fades and leaves no trace He's a man, Dressed In Black And Like the speed of light he moves through you He's a man, Dressed In Black Through the wind and rain, i'll still keep searching for you No Face, No Trace, A Silhouette through Mist And Haze This Stranger, He's Dressed in Black No Name, Always The Same, He Flickers Through Cinematic Frames This Stranger, He's Dressed in Black He's a man, Dressed In Black And Like the speed of light he moves through you He's a man, Dressed In Black Through the wind and rain, i'll still keep searching for you For You, for you, for you, for you Stranger, Stranger Stranger, Stranger

Midnight Blues 11:59 On a blue sunday evening Another lazy weekend's gone by Without your loving baby The night air is cold You know the north wind she blows how she blows If there was a light in your window girl That's where I'd be coming home But time is on my side 12:15 Can't get you out of my head, out of my head You know you hurt me sweet child With all those bad, sad things that you said Monday morning I feel a blue day is dawning Do you remember those sweet September skies? Oh girl, oh girl But time she's on my side Long lonely days of pain Can't take heartache again You got me drowning in my whiskey baby You got me, you got me . . . The Midnight Blues Long lonely days of pain Can't take heartache again You got me drowning in my whiskey baby You got me, you got me . . . The Midnight Blues Long lonely days of pain Can't take heartache again You got me drowning in my whiskey baby You got me, you got me . . . The Midnight Blues

THE RAIN POURED DOWN ON ME I met you under Berlin lilac trees English Spy falls for spandau queen 1944 and this war it never yields Autumn leaves fall down gold & green There's danger on the German radio As the rain it poured down on me It's crazy our dark hidden secret But my love for you goes on and on I kissed you but you seemed so uncertain We talked by lanterns for hours in the twilight I held your hand as we closed the curtains As the bombs rained down all through the night There's danger on the German radio As the rain it poured down on me It's crazy our souls in isolation But your love for me goes on and on I saw the rain as it bathed on your pretty face I caught your eyes as they lit up the sky Souls scream as the city burns to ash again Sit in darkness as the sirens wail by There's danger on the German radio As the rain it poured down on me It's crazy and it's so uncertain But this war it goes on and on Red Rains brought blood and flames Red rains, red rains This Rain Poured Down Again Red rains, red rains

The Joy Poet Europe is dying 1993 The old man harbours his memories Violins swimming, swirling through his ears As the earth is swallowed up by the sea Vienna is drowning now! Oh! Vienna is drowning now! Amber clouds burst and split the blackened skies The old man wakes and he writes His ink well has spanned ten thousand summer nights Now all the river's are running wild Oh! the earths a raging fireball and the devils gonna stoke it Burning down, down, down, down No~one's seen, no~one's told the Joy Poet he's drowning Going down, down, down, down Beaches and wastegrounds washed by poisoned seas The old man lives without machines He has no wireless, he has no tv He cannot hear the frightened trees Oh! the earths a raging fireball and the devils gonna stoke it Burning down, down, down, down No~one's seen, no~one's told the Joy Poet he's drowning Going down, down, down, down Oh! the earths a raging fireball and the devils gonna stoke it Burning down, down, down, down No~one's seen, no~one's told the Joy Poet he's drowning Going down, down, down, down Burning down, down, down, down Going down, down, down, down Burning down, down, down, down

Echoes 06:05
ECHOES Sunlit ripples on the sea Beyond my reach I reminisce about your memory And I can't breathe You're an Echo, an Echo Voices blurring, I Run like a Gun And all the echoes of our summer, Glimmer in the sun The weightless waves wash over me They never seem to fade away Cast a pebble to the sea Stand by me We're singing songs that echo me You're all a dream, all a dream, all a dream, all a dream all an Echo, Echo Sunset brings evening, and night stock perfumes And the coldness of the moonlight, crimson is the moon The weightless waves wash over me They never seem to fade away I sit on a quiet beach And gaze into the sea I think you were everything To me Naked and bleeding, the ocean glistens gold Waking in the mist and light, dawn is moments old And the weightless waves wash over me They're never gonna fade away I sit on a quiet beach And gaze into the sea And i think of everything That's happened to me La la la la la la la la la Dream Forever, Dream Forever La la la la la la la la la Dream Forever, Dream Forever

THE RAIN POURED DOWN ON ME TOO I met you under Berlin lilac trees English Spy falls for spandau queen 1944 and this war it never yields Autumn leaves fall down gold & green There's danger on the German radio As the rain it poured down on me It's crazy our dark hidden secret But my love for you goes on and on I kissed you but you seemed so uncertain We talked by lanterns for hours in the twilight I held your hand as we closed the curtains As the bombs rained down all through the night There's danger on the German radio As the rain it poured down on me It's crazy our souls in isolation But your love for me goes on and on I saw the rain as it bathed on your pretty face I caught your eyes as they lit up the sky Souls scream as the city burns to ash again Sit in darkness as the sirens wail by There's danger on the German radio As the rain it poured down on me It's crazy and it's so uncertain But this war it goes on and on

about

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz9IzAr_YS4

This is a totally self financed album and has taken a lot of time, effort and money out of our own pocket to get it to this point. We originally released this back in March 2014 but we weren't happy with the results. The recording was very rushed as we didn't have much money to pay for the recordings. The result of this was we decided to re-record a lot of parts gaian at home and remix and remaster it ourselves.

The biggest compliment we've had about this album was from a review where the reviewer stated something along the lines of "Carnival Of Thieves sound like no other Rock band around but at the same time they sound like every great Rock band you've ever heard!".

This is probably down to the huge amount of influences that have gone into the writing of this album from the past 50 years of Rock, Punk, Alternative Rock, Electro Rock, Progressive Rock, Goth Rock, Blues Rock, Folk Rock & New Wave/Indie Rock. Then add to this everyones own individual influences when playing the parts and it's given us a fairly unique album which were really pleased with.

To name drop just a few who have influenced this album would be Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Cream, Ultravox!, The Ruts, The Stranglers, The Skids, Lords Of The New Church, New Model Army, The Mission, The Chameleons, The Cure (79-83), Gun, The Levellers, The Cult, Alice In Chains, Metallica, QOTSA, The Hellacopters, The Lime Spiders, RATM, Ayreon, Audioslave, Type O Negative, Mark Lannegan, Hanoi Rocks, Sisters Of Mercy, The Doors, Ghost, Halestorm, The Godfathers, Clutch, Five Finger Death Punch, Rival Sons, Blues Saraceno, Monster Truck, Greenleaf, Danzig and many more. The single biggest influence though would undoubtedly be English Punk band The Ruts and their awesome album The Crack.

All in all its made us proud. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed writing and recording it. Cheers.

The majority of this album was recorded on home computers then taken to Big Sky Studio in Barnsley and Yellow Arch Studios in Sheffield to record the vocals. It was then originally mixed and mastered at Big Sky by Josh Ingamells but we weren't happy with the final results as most of it was fairly rushed. So keyboardist Andi Stevenson Re-recorded most of it and Produced, Remixed and Remastered it. New recordings have been added and some parts stripped away and this is the final result which sounds much more like what we were supposed to sound like. All photography by Damian Twigg.
