Album Lyrics

This is for all you who have requested Kites Without Strings lyrics:

Ohlone

Chorus
You shake, it shocks, but you never leave the flock
You hurt, it haunts, no turning back the clock
It ticks, it tocks, you’re sinking like a rock
It drips, the drops let the heart go cold and dark

We’re all that remains
When I plug my ears
We’re all that remains
When I can’t see clear
We’re all that remains
When I leave from here
We’re all that remains

Chorus
You shake, it shocks, but you never leave the flock
You hurt, it haunts, no turning back the clock
It ticks, it tocks, you’re sinking like a rock
It drips, the drops let the heart go cold and dark


We’re all that remains
When I shed my tears
We’re all that remains
When the end is near
We’re all that remains
In a hundred years
We’re all that remains

Avalanche

How could any love feel so good
Oh they told me it would hurt… SO WHAT
I was a hanging on the words you said…. THE WORDS
Oh I never thought you feel so good

Cinnamon and Sugary boy to gaze on
It’s an avalanche love and how could they not believe us
Cinnamon and Sugary boy to gaze on
It’s an avalanche love and I don’t ever want to save us.



How could any love feel so good
Oh they told me it would hurt… SO WHAT
I was a hanging on the words you said…. THE WORDS
Oh I never thought you feel so good


Wreckage

All forgotten inlets
All you could not say
Falling in the silence of your stare
Sacred now a memory
What we would’ve known
Had we made a kingdom come undone

Summer’s done
Never let me go
Wreckage save me
We are Winter’s glow~!

All the land forsaken
Salvage words unsaid
Hearing traps of silence in your head
Mindful of the holy
How we could’ve been
Had we made a kingdom come undone

Summer’s done
Never let me go
Wreckage save me
We are Winter’s glow~!

Misfit

Making your mark, you go A.W.O.L.
Every glare leaves you scared
Night spent without a warning
Beatings only you could bear

Chorus
Strike me down, I’ll come back around
Hurt me now and I’ll forget it all …..
Trespassing memory gone wrong
With you tonight
With you tonight

Taking your part, you are not there
Shaken till you feel the ground
Days and no one heard a sound
Secrets that are never found.

Chorus
Strike me down, I’ll come back around
Hurt me now and I’ll forget it all …..
Trespassing memory gone wrong
With you tonight
With you tonight

Skylark

Handle with care
You’re the magic of the whole affair
And I never seemed to cross that line
When you wanted me to pay the price
In the season of our lives
I’m next in line
When you build that ride into the SKY

Paper Airplane
Bending the light
Paper Airplanes
Catching the light
Paper Airplane
Crossing the night

Handle with care
You’re the magic of the whole affair
And I never seemed to cross that line
When you wanted me to pay the price
In the season of our lives
I’m next in line
When you build that ride into the SKY


Spades

Heartbreak wars we played so well
You kept us divided with my friend pretending
Now you’re making meds and pulling
All the pieces back together again, so afraid

You ….. Cross that bridge
Land on her continent
See land, you’re home.

Heartfelt love you planned so well
You kept us at arms with all promises
Now you’re moving in on wounds we left so open
And we tried to forget were so dead.

You ….. Cross that bridge
Land on her continent
Sea, land – you’re home.


Underground

Shut down and wounded so… You don’t know
What Ways up or to where you can go.

There’s a new life on the horizon, but can’t find
A rhyme or reason at all with these signs

So check back another time. I trust I
Won’t be making a promise next time.

*************

You cut all ties you know. They don’t know
Where you’d gone when they needed you so.

A new look and different shore. It’s not use
Recognizing your face anymore.

In your heavy heart, a thicket grows
And it’s dark, the play you go when the world so cold.


Heroine

There is a wind that drives the rain
Seas burn the tide of clouds away
High shines the sun in blinding glare
Moon clips the view & hides the flare


There is a tribe on lonely land
Shadows cast the shapes on evening sand
Mission in the static comes in clear
We move beneath the stars in golden fear.

Chorus
Time swallowed a capsule of you!
Galaxies unfolding on in on you!
Millions of miles they return to you!
Stars are born with the grains of you!

Chorus Repeat.

Glasswerk.co.uk review

"Kites" Album review by Glasswerks in UK
Category: Music

Sentinel are back again. Kites Without Strings is a fairly short album (8 tracks) but its packing a punch. They seem far bolder than ever before – rocking up the rock aspect of their act as well as the vocals being as dreamy as ever.

What is perplexing about Sentinel is that they seem to have been around far longer than they actually have. There has been two previous albums and even a Singles album passed through the Glasswerk reviews. And yet they have only been an act since 2006.

Its nice then to see that they have retained their image and also checking out what they can do with it. 'Kites Without String's in an altogether friendlier affair and probably their most pop album so far. A bit of easy access won't hamper their artistic integrity.

Founding members Dennis Bestafka and Tarabud the Guitarist and Vocalist respectively are probably the two members that carry the most signifying sound that is Sentinel. That doesn't seem to be changing anytime soon. Sentinel are therefore blessed with a sound that is immediately identifiable. 'Kites Without Strings' continues that sound. Sentinel now has a solid back catalogue that they can now hope will stretch overseas and grab new listeners. And anyone who likes the sound of a track they may hear is bound to find it easy to like the rest of their wonderful collection.
