Shadows 03:12
Lost in a cycle, Born of desolation Fear has become my only friend, As the shadows creep up on me, The sleeplessness ceases to end In the gloom of the night my mind lingers in tragedy, Tending to dwell on the past, susceptible to insanity How did these shadows find me? What do they want from me? Though I doubt anything I give will satisfy their needs I resent the light within me, Giving in to these shadows This degradation flows into my very being, The thought of reparation drains me of all feeling I think, therefore I am But what am I supposed to be? This life has taught my eyes to never truly see I resent the light within me, Giving in to these shadows Holding in my own compassion, For fear of being left behind And now I'm broken, I lie in torment, My world is dead and so am I, Now I've spoken, so leave me dormant, Woe is me, O' misery Staring into this illusion, Will I be free of my delusion? Shadows embrace me, The dark consumes me, And when I finally sleep, I will be at peace I resent the light within me, Giving in to these shadows Holding in my own compassion For fear of being left behind Left behind I think, therefore I am I think, therefore I am

Red Mist 03:44
I am exposed, in a chokehold, Surrounded by a mist of hatred My elation disintigrates into dust Malice has taken form, I feel it as I breathe Each breath I seem to take fills me with venemous rage Hate rages through my lungs Wrath courses in my veins Serenity has taken its toll on me No guilt, no shame, drag me forth unto the fire Red mist descends (feeling it surrounding me) I breathe it in (it feels like dying) Capacity leaves me, I lose all train of thought A vision in crimson as darkness takes over me Tendencies of misanthropy embrace me A ghost reflecting the void and despair Serenity has taken its toll on me My compassion moves in other directions Red mist descends (feeling it surrounding me) I breathe it in (it feels like dying) Red mist descends (feeling it consuming me) I breathe it in Will I ever feel alive? As the mist descends Darkness will swallow me whole Red mist descends I breathe it in

Tell All 03:17
Tell all the fight has begun, Tell all I am not undone, Tell them we're forsaken as one, Tell all our time has come Let it out, I'm so hollow Anything I build seems to fall apart No intention to face them all, all the demons in my pain Force it down, Spit it out, Is that the light in the distance? Please give me a sign Tell all the fight has begun, Tell all I am not undone, Tell them we're forsaken as one, Tell all my time has come Tell all my time has come I'm screaming out, but doing nothing Answers seem like dreams yet they stray so far, I won't accept this Until I feel the relief from the shame of defeat Force it down, Spit it out, 'til I can take no more Arise up from the ground Tell all the fight has begun, Tell all I am not undone, Tell them we're forsaken as one, Tell all my time has come Tell all my time has come Trapped in a space of obscurity Whilst trying to endure the complacency No matter my weakness, I'll retain my life When all my meaning dies Tell all the fight has begun, Tell all I am not undone, Tell them we're forsaken as one, Tell all my time has come Tell all our time has come

about

Our intention with Trifecta was to create a series of songs that can be enjoyed both individually, and together in one combined experience.

Coming into the writing process, we knew that we wanted to explore new avenues, both musically and with the lyrical themes. Something we felt strongly about was writing lyrics from an introspective position this time and discussing our own personal, and interpersonal, struggles as people - topics we had only just begun to touch on in our latest album 'Reclaim'. We felt with our lyrical content in past, we have had a tendency to almost hold our listeners at arm's length - discussing the bigger picture, and issues we all face, but never really letting on to who we are as people. With 'Trifecta', we knew it was time to lift the veil and express exactly who we are, to discuss our own experiences in life, and take our listeners deeper.

As with all stories, Trifecta has a beginning and an end. The EP brings 'Shadows', 'Red Mist' and 'Tell All' together in a connected, 3-parter, taking you from paranoia and defeat, all the way to and acceptance and redemption.

'Shadows' wastes no time in bringing you into our world, discussing topics of PTSD, depressive and suicidal thoughts, and giving in to defeat.
'Red Mist' brings rage to the forefront, facing that you have become your own worst enemy - and the pain and regret of losing control.
'Tell All' is the relief at the end of our struggle. Acceptance is the first step in finding peace, and we encourage you to embrace who you are and take it out into to the world, no compromise. You are good enough. You are unlike any other. Take control and live life for you - because no one else is going to.

Musically, we have found who we are and where we are at as a group, but we always want to push the envelope and strive for more. Bigger sounds. More memorable hooks. Better songs. This drive, in particular, led to much more extensive use of synth and orchestral elements, particularly in 'Red Mist' which features a full orchestral accompaniment throughout its duration, and in 'Tell All' which features the most 'clean' vocals in any FSTS song yet.

Our special thanks goes to Josh Clark for creating the 3 artworks which accompany each song, Craig Gowans at 12 inch media for his work on the EP artwork and single covers, Florian Kreutzfeldt for nurturing our creativity and steering us in the right direction, Manuel at Long Branch Records for his support in our decision to release this EP before the next album, Aurore Angelique for her merch design work, Ermin Hamidovic for mastering the EP, and to our family, friends and followers for supporting what we do. In a time when so much of our life is lived in constraint, we give you music that's free of any.
