about

"Party of the Dead" delves into the unsettling era where truth dwindles and deceit thrives. It unfolds a paradoxical world where trust is essential, yet often betrayed by those entrusted with protection. This intricate narrative delves into the profound hope for a better world, persistently eluding realization. The song's mechanical and jarring soundscapes intertwine with soothing choral vocals, intensifying the struggle to maintain optimism in a harsh reality. Drawing inspiration from Depeche Mode's "Construction Time Again," Poison the Vicar charts a fresh, uniquely profound path with a message all its own.

lyrics

Words hold meaning.
Words wear a cloak.
Worst of all they've gone rogue.
Masquerade as feeling.
Words they’ve lost control.
And when you've given up all hope.
Feed the sheep what you've been sold.

Better off dead
Better off red
Party in red
Part of the dead
Living in my head
Come on
I'm better off dead

Visions of the dead
Running thought my head
Part of the dead
Living in my head
Come-on
Are you better off red?
Are you better off dead?

There's no time for reason.
And when there's no reason
You're good as dead
They've lost all hope.
Dangling from the rope
As the light begins to fade to gray

Better off dead
Better off red
Party in red
Part of the dead
Living in my head
Come on
I'm better off dead

Visions of the dead
Running through my head
Part of the dead
Living in my head
Come-on
Are you better off red?

There's no time for meaning.
And where there's no meaning
Then I guess you’re better off dead
Fighting through the waters
Looking for answers
In a giant sea of no return
