Winter.

Good morning everyone!

Well we played our first show of the Autumn/Winter last Saturday @ Hobo's Bridgend with some fantastic bands. We are once again starting to book up some shows for the remaining months of the year. If you head over to our Myspace Profile you can keep upto date with the show calender there!

Other news:

The album is 100% complete as we've mentioned previously, artwork is being pushed for completion asap, so the production and everything else can start to begin!
We are hoping that it will be out in January 2010!

The EP is still awaiting vocals, we've all been hit with a huge amount of other work involving the album which has halted the process of putting the finishing touches to the EP!
I thought i'd post an image of the artwork for the EP!
But you'll have to be rad and visit out tumblr.com page for that!

Which is: http://caesarsrome.tumblr.com

There are many of you busy internet bodies on Twitter these days!

So follow us & me here: @caesarsrome / @jdhopkins

We will be updating you as soon as we can in regards to all the goings on here!
Peace!

EP Lyrics

So i've been handed some free time on a Friday night. I thought i'd post the lyrics up for the songs that feature on the EP. I don't know about everyone but i find it interesting to know the lyrics for songs before the release.

Plus if you come to see us live you can have a head start in singing along:

In Your Defence
wrap me up in sellotape
i am the gift
ill play a part in this criminal case
just to be safe
they said your name, i heard a cry
it came from the heart
maybe we can talk again
its the price i have to pay

So I'm turning the clocks back
will it be the same
am i re-living my nightmares
frame by frame
i'm carrying it all for you
with my head held high
will i survive
in your defence

stand up, single file
it's just another day
we all live in dark times
i suggest we kneel and pray
so i reach the shoreline
to wash my sins away
is this love yours or mine
i dont think i'm the one to say.

So I'm turning the clocks back
will it be the same
am i re-living my nightmares
frame by frame
i'm carrying it all for you
with my head held high
will i survive
in your defence

Lead By Books, Read By Kings.
these eyes, they stare
into lies
that repent, repent
and stop and think of home
for everyone, has forgotten
more than they know.

We'll build on their prayers
for all to see
we long for repeating dreams

We're not the easy ones to blame

cos' i've built a wall around this place
we're safe, safe
we'll start a new life where
there's (no price to pay)

Stop and heal these worlds
all im trying to say
is they feed their lies
to their prey.

We live in a world
each day the same
we'll tell them
lies, to their face.

cos' i've built a wall around this place
we're safe, safe
we'll start another life where
there's (no price to pay)

We'll suffer for an age
throw me your books
and we'll burn each page.

Traitors
A band of merry men
together through thick and thin
we sharpen our teeth on bone
so let conversation fan the flames
we'll play this game, we'll play

we are liars, breaking oaths sworn
oh save our souls
And so the story goes we'll live each day as traitors

and now we'll talk it out
tell me what you'd like to hear
forgive me for not being sincere
ill trade a life
so you can stay right here

we are liars, breaking oaths sworn
oh save our souls
And so the story goes we'll live each day as traitors

Lock & Key
Be quiet don't make a sound
i heard a voice, dont you see the crowds
they gather ahead

where do the good boys go to dream
holding our hearts under lock and key

And where do the good girls go to dream
sinking ships under lock and key.

I was starting to believe in them
holding out arms, no fear of the wind.
I was starting to believe in them

I'm tired of living my life under lock & key

We are all extremely excited to share this EP with you guys, it's been something we've wanted to do for a while! Come see us play!
