From the recording History 2006-2016

A lyric I had for a while. Just one of my apocalyptic tales. Hard rocking riff and the heaviest guitars on the album. Even though he composed the music Nick was unsure at first about playing an adequate lead and wanted to bring one of his guitar slinger buddies in for the session. I told him "No, no special guests. Youn wrote it you play it". He did and he kills it!

Lyrics

Red sky over the mountain blue sky about to cry just when find out our reason to live our time has come to die so many people unfulfilled careers so many yet unconquered frontiers so many yet to hear their call so many empires yet to fall Blow away the sky take away the pain blow away the sky let freedom reign blow away the sky let the rivers run black blow away the sky we're never coming back Red sky over the mountain blue sky about to cry just when find out our reason to live our time has come to die so many yet undreamt dreams so many yet unsuccessful schemes so many yet gifts unreceived so much more life yet to be conceived blow away the sky I cant face the light Blow away the sky bring on the night blow away the sky let rivers run black blow away the sky we're never coming back

A powerful rock & roll band whose sound fuses old-school punk, roots rock, and heartland rock, with fierce, often politically charged lyrics on top. The Last Conspirators are fronted by singer and songwriter Tim Livingston a pioneering figure on the punk scene in New York State’s Hudson Valley... true believers, keeping the rock & roll flame burning even if it may no longer be fashionable to do so.. coming across like an Americanized version of the Clash… the Last Conspirators.. waging war against complacency and cherishing the rebels and outsiders on the fringes of American culture. .. raging against the light, whether it's dying or burning bright.”
