Ties 04:32
Decisions decisions they follow me home I realize that in your disguise You weren't the one that I thought I knew Your honesty was simply pulverized I can't recall the last time I took a breath of fresh air Another soul claimed in defeat Some say that there's no peace A broken soul is your best bet Won't you take me away Won't you tear me apart Entropy will divide Sever the ties in your mind As I wake up in an empty cell Not sure if I'm in heaven or hell No sanity left in the words that you speak You left me scarred I'll leave you 6 feet deep I have to fix this insanity Sever the ties with your memories Won't you take me away Won't you tear me apart Won't you take me away Won't you tear me apart Entropy will divide Sever the ties in your mind

We live in times as dark as be A life of scars underneath the trees We are to fade away into the universe We are to connect deep within the earth We understand that everything is meant to be The animals in the field as free as can be We understand the higher purpose Nomads invade the earth Will they walk through me Will they break through stone Cut through everything just to get my home Their roots run deep beneath We must stop all those who make them disappear ( GARRETT ) ( In a million years we'll float within the sky And we will laugh upon your sedentary lifestyle The only way to transcend is just to disconnect To find a way to stretch the horizon To segregate entire nations should not be the goal spilling disease upon nomad land Cause history is written by the conquerors never by the conquered ) Will they walk through me Will they break through stone Cut through everything just to get my home Their roots run deep beneath We must stop all those who make them disappear Reach at the end of everything And float within our minds Erase the pain within The legends never die Open the gates to her And look deep in her eyes It's the rebirth of Gaïa Nomads will survive It's like I lived through the dreams of mother nature It's like I found a way to run I understand the way to go As I wake up the morning after, underneath the burning sun If you could hear what she knows Between the trees beneath the fall of our own prophecy We look alike one of a kind never one left behind We stand aside in a world so mad and we will soon let the world be returned to nomads Let it return to us

about

"Featuring tight, groovy riffage and a bright melodic backdrop, “Nomads” is a great introduction to what Held In Secret are doing. With prominent shows already played with the likes of Blind Witness, Held In Secret’s sophomore EP is bound to be a success." - New Fury Media

=====================

Held In Secret was impulsively founded in January of 2016 by Matt J. Zephyr (vocals) and David Lamothe (lead guitar) with the explicit goal of taking over the world. Since then, they have been joined by a great family of like-minded people with the addition of William Gunn (bass), Tommy Lemieux (drums) and Joey Sollazzo (rhythm guitar).

These five individuals work hard every day to create the heaviest and Djentiest listening experience known to the Ottawa metal scene. Wanting the listeners to feel like they are understood, the lyrics from Held In Secret paint pictures of trauma, despair, and hope.

On December 7th, 2018, Held In Secret released their debut EP “Dawnbreaker” (Produced by Dark Moon Productions). After a year of performances, our protagonists came together in the studio once again to produce their sophomore effort called “Nomads” set for release on May 29, 2020.

Taking pride in what they do, Held in Secret ensures a wild ride for their audience as Zephyr climbs structures while scream-rapping extra multisyllabic lines; Lamothe, Gunn, and Sollazzo sing backup while shredding, jumping around and headbanging; often jumping off stage to get in the pit. The intense stage presence continues with Lemieux banging it out, full throttle behind the kit.

Held In Secret is just warming up, they have more live shows planned, as well as more music has been written ready to follow “Nomads”. Keep an ear out!
