The world is spinning all around As I am swallowed by the sound Danger! Danger! The lights are flashing red I hear alarm bells ringing Making chaos in my head Help me! Save me! I have lost my way I call out to the universe and say Mission Control! Let me know that I am not alone Here among the stars Please tell me that you are Mission Control! Send me a signal save my soul Guide me through the years Guide me through the seasons Guide me through the tears Guide me through the reasons Mission Control I tried to fly alone I thought that I could make it On my own But I was unprepared I never would have dared If I had known Danger! Danger! It’s getting hard to breathe I gasp for air while struggling To stay up on my feet Help me! Save me! I cannot last for long I call out to the universe beyond The seconds count down I try to hang on but My calls are left unanswered I’m afraid I’m too far gone Hopeless and alone I prepare to meet my end But it doesn’t seem right That no one can amend Suddenly I flip the switch From sender to receiver And I hear a billion voices All calling out just like me We often call for help And forget that there are others If no one can give aid We can’t expect to hear an answer Maybe instead of flying Completely on our own We unite against the unknown Mission Control! Now I know that I am not alone Here among the stars We forget that others are Mission Control! Life doesn’t have to be so cold We can flip the switch From sender to receiver We can take control We can be the leaders Mission Control We can take control!

Suffering is not what I search for In my defense it always finds me When I speak I can’t find the words for Anything that will set my thoughts free Casualties in the back of my mind What I say could lead to a war Always knew that pressure was not kind The world should know what I have in store And as the pressure’s building And as my thoughts are racing Don’t believe I can say what’s really on my mind As my palms are sweating It’s only time I’m dreading Words I have are political suicide As my pulse is beating These visions keep repeating Of the consequences that are yet to be Cannot my frantic mind Leave all these thoughts behind Of the end of all humanity One mistake The world won’t forgive me Second chances Cannot be spared In the streets I walk with a sentry To walk alone I have never dared In the wars And battles that I’ve led Synonymous Are death and my name I can’t sleep At night with a clear head This pressure is Just part of the game

Yes for now you’ll Get back up again Ignorance is your only true friend Close your eyes and See the light again Cry your tears and it all just goes away See me now my Voice is raised again Seems to happen as the years go by Can’t believe you Closed your ears again Can’t you see I only want what’s best Hold on while I call out your name Listen in or You won’t make it far Close your ears and It will hide your pain And all the things that You don’t want to know Just takes one To forgive it all Takes two if you want to forget When you leave I Can’t erase it all Disappear but it won’t go away Make a reason Just to clear it all Give it time but nothing will change Can’t you see me Try to save it all Then you find the point of no return

about

"Power and Control" is our debut EP, which has been in the making for over a year and a half. Being a very active cover band, we did not leave ourselves much time to work on original music. However, after performing together for almost two years, Dan, T.J., and Dylan decided to get serious and dedicate one practice to a riff-writing session. This would produce the heavy, energetic song "With Great Power...". Soon after, Dan wrote our second original song, "Mission Control", which became a great show opener.

We are currently spread across Pennsylvania in different universities pursuing our careers, so our debut may also be our parting gift. Perhaps someday our paths will cross again and FROSTBYTE will return to the stage as an even greater force than before.

about

FROSTBYTE Johnstown, Pennsylvania

We started out in the summer of 2011 as a rock/metal cover band, doing everything from CCR to Motley Crue to Judas Priest. This diversity comes from our members' variety of musical influences that span from the origins of rock and roll music to present day progressive metal. Now that we write original music, we find our diversity in musical taste helps us to be unique and innovative. ... more
