RAY ALDER , allgemein als Fates Warning Frontmann bekannt, schickt heute mit dem Song `My Oblivion` eine neue Vorabauskopplung aus seinem zweiten Soloalbum “II“. Die Scheibe greift auf ein erfahrenes Team zurück und wurde von RAY ALDER in Kooperation mit  den Gitarristen Mike Abdow (Fates Warning Tourmitglied) und Tony Hernando (Lords Of Black) geschrieben.

RAY sagt über `My Oblivion”`:
“For this song I imagined a sort of anti-hero who is doing what he does best, lay waste to everything in his path. I guess it’s my homage to action/revenge type movies. I felt the music needed something like this story. Heavy and dark but with an edge… I think Mike and Craig did an incredible job on this one.”

Lyrics:

I see fires burning far beyond the walls.

I feel the tables turning it’s my turn to fall

I should have seen this coming but I had closed my eyes again

Another bridge is burning now. I know that…

 

I am already broken no words are changing this

I have already chosen the path to my oblivion

 

With the smoke still rising I now turn my back

All that’s left are ashes all that’s left is black

And in this quiet moment a sullen smile now forms a grin

That’s how the end always begins. And now that…

 

I am already broken no words are changing this

I have already chosen the path to my oblivion.

 

Now everything is nothing, all ravaged by fire

I’ve burned all that mattered nothing is left inside

 

I am already broken no words are changing this

I have already chosen the path to oblivion.

No more time for reflection that burden I have shed

Now emptied of emotion through darkness I descend
