lyrics

Millions and millions and millions of years to grow grow grow,
And this is the best we’ve got?
So mechanical, diabolical
Our actions flow from disturbances of equilibrium
In an infinite series of levers,
Predetermined, unconscious,
Helpless to redirect our endeavors
Helpless, we’re so helpless.

We are creatures
We are creatures
We are creatures of yesterday.

There is no security,
We must develop a mechanical consciousness.
Two to the power of infinity,
(alpha zero) to eliminate this selfishness.
There is an algorithm for transcendence,
A sub routine for each moral lesson,
Nothing is relative,
We will foresee all probability.

We will merge or we will become obsolete,
Like so many other creatures of yesterday

We are creatures
We are creatures
We are creatures of yesterday.

about

Linger regina

Provocative, aggressive, dynamic, sometimes unforgiving to the ears, and at other times elegant. This is the music of Linger, a band that fuses heavier electronic genres with hard rock and metal riffing while carefully dispersing melodic interludes.

These Blue Walls are Faking Freedom
by The Criminal Kid

Great record produced by the same team behind Linger. Completed in 2012, the band has translocated to Toronto and is regaining momentum. Look forward to more work from them. Linger
