1.	Silver 03:16	lyrics	buy track
A little too close to the bone Sharp serrated silver tongue And maybe it's all I need to fall asleep The one thing I could never keep A little too close to the bone Sharp serrated silver tongue And maybe it's all I need to fall asleep The one thing I could never keep Dirty water beneath our feet And we could almost always run. Race me, God speed Before the sun dies over those mountains
2.	Stone to Farewell 06:37	lyrics	buy track
Love has lost its life Reclaimed it's magic For what we hold inside Is all we've got Chance she plays with dice Transient madness The pillars, hold them tight Atlas let's go Creed, pulls on the strings of military me And all these broken promises No one wanted us to end like this There's love and there's loss Then there's death's sweet kiss All’s on the table with all to risk All these demons, I can’t lay to rest The things we love the most Are what destroys us Time; Necklace of rope Tied to its hands The living haunts the ghost Last breath employ us To hold pain high and toast Lest we forget What goes around, comes around Pay death with hollow hands bound Stone to Farewell Exhale, sky falls, earth swallowed all Reasons to breath, reasons to be All these crazy dreams we shared leave Poisoned mind as darkness eats me Dark roll over, dark roll over Stone.
3.	Making a Monster (Remastered) 04:38 video	lyrics	buy track
If this is education, Learning to unlearn love I'll make a point that will match their misery Dream of annihilation, negative thought above any concept of oppressive wizardry They pushed me in the corner for they know not what they do or the mess I'll leave with teenage debris I didn't know that your reality was lonely They're making a monster. If this is education, Learning to unlearn love I'll make a point that will match their misery Dream of annihilation, negative thought above any concept of oppressive wizardry They pushed me in the corner for they know not what they do or the mess I'll leave with teenage debris I didn't know that your reality was lonely They're making a monster. What a man, he's the man, he's the man I need to control Yes I can, no I cant, yes I can decide to control He's my friend, he's my foe, he is me and he's out of control. He's bending thoughts law with me A kind of twisted democracy And he's breaking the walls all down I'm going to take them to hell with me. I hate you!
4.	Those Among Us (Remastered) 05:54 video	lyrics	buy track
Lest I fall, take heed, I'm casualty Spent in war that's raged decades in me Prison built on broken memories I offer you one final piece of me Take my words my silence out for sale On the wind, lantern to a gale Finest moments, darkest hours prevail Strong words, brittle bones, incendiary Pull those who weight me down free Brush away emotive debris. And make this stop. Hey, my silence is for sale to Those I trust Hail, all of those who still walk among us. Motivate me chaos, things have changed Trade my thoughts for words in cold exchange Take the time, the chance to rearrange How recollection wakes the rabid My words, my life as if your own Truth of sufferings been granted Kiss then kill Hey, my silence is for sale to Those I trust Hail, all of those who still walk among us. How deep the blade goes No time alone Heavy weighs the weight of those of us who strayed From life Shadows by my side Life, this truth, unswayed The ghosts of those have stayed. Hey, my silence is for sale to Those I trust Hail, all of those who still walk among us Summon you with poison I summon you with pain. I summon you to my side To sit by me again.
5.	Alpha Luna 06:55	lyrics	buy track
Coursing through my veins Burning lava, eyes ablaze Seeping through the skin A thousand prying eyes look in There's something in the air Like shards of glass it tears That youthful dancing flame Will never be again. Why don't you Throw me to the wolves Now that I'm down and bleeding Throw me to the wolves I'll return leading There's something in your stare Lost in a gaze like no-ones there Fragile, paper thin Can't escape the enemy within Time take me, don't be late In respite I've found in me A spark nurtured to flame Set free to breathe and burn again Why don't you Throw me to the wolves Now that I'm down and bleeding Throw me to the wolves I'll return leading Mother, cant break the ties that bind This love I'll defend Mother, from pain of birth through tortured earth I depend Rise above, house built on love waist deep in pain I aspire Mother, I will take these words and build an empire
6.	Goliath 05:01 video	lyrics	buy track
Searched for a strength within me Captive on the far side of my eyes Timid whispers I have grown declarations Fear, the tempest within rage against the shore and rise Feel the fear subside Goliath in my eyes in fierce resolve Roar, defy, unbroken Engaged the war inside me Tangled void where sight denies Faint rumour birth my affirmation Taming wild within Through sweat and blood for peace of mind Feel the fear subside Goliath in my eyes in fierce resolve Roar If I breathe, if I just breathe Will the sun rise for me If I reach out just a little more Could I feel where I was once before If I fight, if I just fight then Can I come home Il never get home Shadows Dreaming, trust in the hurt Taking the time to dismantle what never worked Seeking, down in the dirt Il persevere, chart my course See what horror lurks Lost in, echoes of the love I have burnt Grasping for hope, in the shadow of all I've learned Striving, I'm pushing through hurt Trying to rise in a darkness that hides my worth Goliath I've set you free Goliath In me
7.	Death Mask 06:42	lyrics	buy track
Be yourself, by yourself Redeemed from following the dead. There’s something new, something else Clings to your darkest fears instead. No, I can take it Gonna take more than sentiment to break me Promises; the house that Jack built , never last Back from the dead, footprint on a death mask You search within as the world stills. Not so easy for you to say. Lay down these bones as the world around you decays. Invisible, global infection. Taking its toll, a viral resurrection Political - race for re-election It’s taken hold. Insurrection Hell’s already here Skies been falling Things getting any clearer now? Stand up, face your fear Embrace your calling. We can make it through somehow. Be yourself By yourself Pray slave to fate Die not poor death Monster within, alive it grins My resilient, darkest friend No, I can take it Gonna take more than sentiment to break me Promises; the house that Jack built never last Back from the dead, footprint on a death mask You search within as the world stills. Not so easy for you to say. Lay down these bones as the world around you decays If your the bricks I'm the mortar We can rebuild from disorder Is anyone still asleep Anyone still asleep. Time to wake. Just when life since was starting to make sense A place were there falls no shadows The stream gave to rage, fed the shallows. Waters overwhelming I’ve run towards that which I should have ran from I drowned so I could breathe In death life has found me Not so blind that I can't see There's footprints on this Death Mask
8.	Sober 05:09	lyrics	buy track
Far away Far outside Gone before The other side I moved on feigned freedom it comes I am hollow I feel it grow Sober Morphine in colour Prefer my way Higher fallis Drained all life's seed Altered host All life Crystallised into Fervour Medicinal ghosts I wore My winter I wana breathe Inside a room of fire Close my eyes I will divide and conquer Grow me Grow me so I can finally find Grow me Erase this war in mind End the war Remember all Not so fast Grace this fall Wear your lie Wear your lie Wear your lie Back to zero My own way Higher fallis My own way End the war Remember all Not so fast Grace this fall Wear your lie Wear your lie Wear your lie Back to zero My own way Not so hollow My own way Not so hollow.
9.	Breathe 06:59	lyrics	buy track
I cant see the sense in trying to convince me That time already spent Was invested in me Ask Where the hell was I? When you needed me most Pray tell I was supposed to keep us safe foremost There's things in my life I've broken Dropped, upright but fast asleep Unresolved, unspoken, By a plastic version of me Truth told every breathe you Breathe for me Breathe for me I must seem naive Yet you breathe for me Burn my flesh to bone But leave my weary soul The pain I brought to bare The weight of guilt in here Now all that remains The dead soul of regret Colossal debt unpaid A promise never met words in my life I've spoken In so traded the stars for dirt So in love. So vulnerable As we capsized beneath the hurt Breathe for me Breathe for me I must seem naive Yet you breathe for me Breathe Breathe Just breathe me I feel like nothing could be the same The past a place where my heart knew the way The weight of change, shadow of my shame All I am Is all there is Sold my soul to blood suckers Who kept you from me maybe all along I've been mistaken Pulled my heart through torn covers For all to see I am on my own. I've been forsaken Told my part to pretenders Surrounded me For everything I was I was taken Hide my thoughts in cold numbers Theres no relief In my search for heaven, hell in the making Break these bars that I'm caged in. Burn this world they keep me in. Crush the doubt, Shift the sands now Steal the light as it dies out Bring this pain, this is my fight In this moment reclaimed life Ferocious spirit outlast Forever war with my past
10.	Ghosts of Everest 07:54	lyrics	buy track
What you fear the most is here to stay That same old ghost that haunted yesterday Yet here we are again my imaginary friend No, your not here; your within I cant find my self Doors all locked like I'm someone else. Walls are closing in Still chasing that which could have been A key thats lost, a map that's torn Thoughts dressed in black Of the shame I've worn Then came a mirror that showed me just who I’ve been. I’m so sorry, I can’t relate to him The weight of my mistakes are pressed Into my chest. I tried to move on time wont let me forget In the presence of absence. Time, taken everything I'm in the presence of absence I don't wish to stay Reach for the pieces, but they all cut like glass. Each edge a thought, a scar I can’t surpass Every wrong turn, every bridge I’ve set ablaze A map of failure A labyrinth of days Can you still see me? cus Im still here Hope is not a strategy. Won’t help me reappear Lay me to rest Free from Duress Bury me with the Ghosts of Everest Lay me to rest (Almost made it) Down with finesse Bury me with the Ghosts of Everest Lay me to rest (Almost made it) Down with redress Bury me with the Ghosts of Everest Lay me to rest (Next life maybe) Now I've confessed Bury me with the Ghosts of Everest You see me silent but theres screaming in my ears, beneath a sky without stars Lay me to rest Free from duress Bury me with the Ghosts of Everest Lay me to rest (Almost made it) Down with finesse Bury me with the Ghosts of Everest Lay me to rest (Almost made it) Down with redress Bury me with the Ghosts of Everest Lay me to rest (Next life maybe) Now I've confessed Bury me with the Ghosts of Everest

about

2025 album release “Ghosts of
Everest” Machina Kore have found the
essence of what they intend to be
moving forward. Ghosts of Everest is a
bold statement against conventional
genre constraints. The album will take the
listener on deeply personal journeys
through the many highs and lows we all
face in life, both self inflicted and those
out of our control. It asks the listener to
contemplate the many forked paths
emotion can take us down through action
and reaction. The undertone however, is
one of strength. A strength gained
through overcoming the many faces of
adversity, both in its simplest and more
callous incarnations.
Ghosts of Everest is an album from a
band trying to carve its own path, mixing
influences and styles outside of genre
constraints. Machina Kore's commitment
to pushing boundaries ensures that
further releases will continue to see the
band evolve.

Running time: 59 mins
10 Songs + Bonus Track
