𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐔 Pre-ordered on the day before release. If the previously released material is anything to go by then this record is sure to be an astounding debut for the band. Lodestar's singles already showcased their infinite potential with powerful driven lyrics against heavy yet catchy instrumentation. Light My Way especially is a standout track with an incredible chorus. I have replayed it countless times and personally cannot wait to hear the rest of the record! Recommended listening!!

Light My Way 04:13
Verse 1 It’s in human nature to feel down sometimes it doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you and if there is no sparkle, no light in your eyes I will be there to guide you through sometimes a little help is all you need sometimes it’s closer than you think Chorus Descend into the darkness while holding my hand, we’ll be together no, I won’t pretend, there’s no denial we need to rely on others at times to light our way Verse 2 it doesn’t really matter what you’ll have to face you might walk through the fire and fall from grace you’ll always have me by your side, please don’t fear just know there’s someone out there when you need sometimes when it gets harder to go on remember that to rise you need to fall Chorus Descend into the darkness while holding my hand, we’ll be together no, I won’t pretend, there’s no denial we need to rely on others at times to light our way Step out of the shadows, ‘cause I can see You’re stronger now than ever, so go break the chains of your misfortunes and you’ll have me with you lighting your way There’s no more pain No more pain Chorus Descend into the darkness while holding my hand, we’ll be together no, I won’t pretend, there’s no denial we need to rely on others at times to light our way Step out of the shadows, ‘cause I can see You’re stronger now than ever, so go break the chains of your misfortunes and you’ll have me with you lighting your way There’s no more pain

Lodestar 03:34
Verse 1 For how many days have I tried to find my way? I’ve even lost faith… For how many nights have I tried to survive in this barren winter land? Chorus Staring at the sky I will hold my breath hoping that I’ll win the fight it’s so dark and cold but I will stand when I see a ray of light Verse 2 It’s so complicated when you’re on your own nothing is changing here the powers of nature I have never known All seem to challenge me Chorus Staring at the sky I will hold my breath hoping that I’ll win the fight it’s so dark and cold but I will stand when I see a ray of light Verse 3 This blizzard is ending the sky’s getting clear and the horizon appears before there was nothing and when I start to fear I see a star shining at me Chorus Staring at the sky I will hold my breath hoping that I’ll win the fight it’s so dark and cold but I will stand when I see a ray of light

The New Me 04:24
Verse 1 My past is cutting me without a knife all the things that I’ve been through they made me blind But suddenly I realise it’s not against me This brightest light I recognize Pre-chorus it’s coming right from within me I need to let go off all the darkness Chorus And I accept myself as I am, as I have been and as I will be (I will be) I’ll let the light shine through me and fill my life with new sense, there’s the new me, there’s the new me Verse 2 it might just feel like death when you start living free from all the heaviness in your heart it’s nice to feel that I have taken the right turn now towards a better tomorrow for me Pre-chorus and I will appreciate this, A lone star that I am is now reborn Chorus And I accept myself as I am, as I have been and as I will be (I will be) I’ll let the light shine through me and fill my life with new sense, there’s the new me, there’s the new me Bridge it’s hard to start seeing life in colours that are too bright when your past was black and white but I’ve been dead for too long I’m ready to be reborn alive and feeling strong Chorus And I accept myself as I am, as I have been and as I will be (I will be) I’ll let the light shine through me and fill my life with new sense, there’s the new me, there’s the new me Outro let the light wash over me show me there’s something more to be walk into the light and see that there’s nothing there to fear

Verse 1 What is that sadness in your eyes I see there is no doubt that you are in need of your guiding light to carry you through life maybe it’s not the time Chorus Seek and you will find that missing part of you someone to make you complete and brighten your days just don’t make haste it will come naturally you just need to believe Verse 2 I know you’ve been searching but this world is cruel won’t make it easy for most but there is that person as lonely as you maybe your paths will cross Chorus Seek and you will find that missing part of you someone to make you complete and brighten your days just don’t make haste it will come naturally you just need to believe Bridge we all come to this world alone and we leave alone just as well but the lives we are going through feel too empty for that Chorus Seek and you will find that missing part of you someone to make you complete and brighten your days just don’t make haste it will come naturally you need to believe Chorus Seek and you will find that missing part of you someone to make you complete and brighten your days just don’t make haste it will come naturally you just need to believe

Darkest Hour 04:44
Verse 1 I could never imagine that my life would take this turn that all the light and hope I had would go away you’re no longer around so now I feel like I am lost it feels like I’m a comet hurtling through space to meet its end Pre-chorus where do I find the strength to live like I used to, to see through the darkness that’s filling my mind? Chorus There’s no one to rely on, there’s no guiding hand there’s only emptiness I’ve felt inside so far The help will not be coming, there’s only regret the pain is killing me and I can’t fight cause there’s no more light Verse 2 I thought before that I would always have somebody by my side to walk with me through all the challenges of life I see that I was mistaken, now I’m all alone left to be devoured by the darkest thoughts with no chance to hide Pre-chorus how did I lose myself in this demonic maze? don’t know where to go now, my eyes are so blind Chorus There’s no one to rely on, there’s no guiding hand there’s only emptiness I’ve felt inside so far The help will not be coming, there’s only regret the pain is killing me and I can’t fight cause there’s no more light Bridge There’s no more light… I am at the bottom of the deepest ocean trying to survive but there’s no power left hoping to be rescued, but I know I’m dying no one will appear and take me out of here I have fallen low, this is my darkest hour I have nothing to believe in, no success I have given up and I accept my fate that nothing lights my way Chorus There’s no one to rely on, there’s no guiding hand there’s only emptiness I’ve felt inside so far The help will not be coming, there’s only regret the pain is killing me and I can’t fight cause there’s no more light

Spearhead 04:40
Verse 1 In the past I always doubted myself but since then I have grown I realised there are the only two ways you win or you fall it’s curious that in the weakness there’s power you just need to find it inside and when you do, there is no chance someone stops you you’ll know what you want, there’s no more need to hide Chorus I’ve come a long way and found my inner strength I’ve now returned to having faith in myself All that I am now you cannot take away You think you’ll break me and I dare you to try, but it’s a waste of…. Verse 2 …time will tell if I’ve completely let go of all the thoughts that were not truly mine but now it feels like there are more open doors that I can enter without a warning sign things have finally started coming my way and nobody is questioning me there’s no longer any uncertainty I know where I want to go and I know how to get there Chorus I’ve come a long way and found my inner strength I’ve now returned to having faith in myself All that I am now you cannot take away You think you’ll break me and I dare you to try, but it’s a waste of time Bridge It felt like I was sleeping and then I woke up into the world where I can make decisions based on my own thoughts and feelings that I have and no one is going to judge me it feels like I woke up much stronger than I was I’ll overcome any challenge the problems that I’ve faced all start to disappear they’ve never done me any damage Chorus ‘Cause I’ve come a long way and found my inner strength I’ve now returned to having faith in myself All that I am now you cannot take away You think you’ll break me and I dare you to try, but it’s a waste of time

Verse 1 Sometimes I think I’m going crazy I’m chasing shadows in the dark but you are gone and I’ve got nothing left to turn this darkness into light and there is just no way to fill this void within my heart cause you’re a spirit roaming freely the places that cannot be found Pre-chorus I thought I heard your voice I thought I felt your touch But no, I just imagined this I miss you so much Chorus I can hear you in the distance the whispers still resound in here I close my eyes and for an instant I feel you breathing next to me But you’re not here, you’re just a memory that I won’t let go without a fight the pain of loss seems so unending I have to live through this somehow Have to live through this somehow Have to live through this somehow Verse 2 It all happened oh so quickly I turned away and then you left and I got stuck in time frustrated with how unfair this life can get one second we are happy, we’re making plans inside our minds and then the whole world just goes crumbling around our feet and drags us down Pre-chorus I thought I heard your voice I thought I felt your touch But no, I just imagined this I miss you so much Chorus I can hear you in the distance the whispers still resound in here I close my eyes and for an instant I feel you breathing next to me But you’re not here, you’re just a memory that I won’t let go without a fight the pain of loss seems so unending I have to live through this somehow Bridge I have to live through this somehow I have to live through this Verse 3 But then again if I could ask you, you wouldn’t want me to feel lost you’d say “just try, pick up the pieces of your upset and shattered soul” I know you’re still there watching and helping me to struggle through and I can feel the storm’s subsiding revealing stars, they’re lit by you Chorus I could hear you in the distance the whispers still resound in here I closed my eyes and for an instant I felt you breathing next to me But you’re not here, you’re just a memory that I will keep close to my heart the pain of loss seemed so unending but I have lived through this somehow I have lived through this somehow I have lived through this somehow

Verse 1 I’ve felt discomfort for some time like something has a hold of me, like there’s a noose on my neck someone keeps pulling, like every step of mine is pre-decided and I suffocate and I suffocate… Chorus No more manipulations, I have lost enough time it’s a brand new day, a shifting paradigm, I won’t be at your mercy, I’ll break free from your grasp, so how does it feel when you fall in your trap? Verse 2 Your voice inside my head got louder when you chained me to your will, you made me feel small and invisible but I have found a new strength within to defy you now let’s see how you like it and who’s gonna be laughing Chorus No more manipulations, I have lost enough time it’s a brand new day, a shifting paradigm, I won’t be at your mercy, I’ll break free from your grasp, so how does it feel when you fall in your own trap? Bridge You fell in your own trap you tried keeping me down but you don’t really know me You had control over me But I won’t stand for this I will run far away from here Yeah Things are going to change ‘cause your power is lost though it feels a bit strange now I’m ready to go Chorus with no manipulations, I have lost enough time it’s a brand new day, a shifting paradigm, I won’t be at your mercy, I’ll break free from your grasp, so how does it feel when you fall in your own trap? yeah

Verse 1 it takes a while to understand yourself, to see you’re more than you have thought before, you’ve had this feeling growing inside for so long… the feeling you’re the one to help yourself, the one to find the greatness in your heart, and give your life a brand new start Pre-chorus you’re losing your patience, you strive for a change there’s a fire that’s burning inside Chorus The time has come to ignite the spark Let your life take a new turn right now (And you know you’ll succeed) Verse 2 You’re tired of hearing cries within your mind and feeling like somebody’s pushing you towards a better future, you shouldn’t resist It only feels so difficult at first reminding that you’re human after all but you’ve been sent to Earth to live, not to exist Pre-chorus you’re losing your patience, you strive for a change there’s a fire that’s burning inside Chorus The time has come to ignite the spark Let your life take a new turn right now (And you know you’ll succeed) The time has come, take a leap of faith Leave the zone where no comfort’s left (let your heart start with a brand new beat) Bridge Let your life take a new turn now Leave the zone where no comfort’s left You’ve always been waiting for a better tomorrow without taking action you keep getting lost now you’ve found a power residing within you it’s whispering gently for you to go on you don’t wanna stop now ‘cause you’re feeling greater your life’s getting better and better each day what you thought was ashes is now burning bright so there’s no turning back now you’ll go the right way Chorus The time has come to ignite the spark Let your life take a new turn right now (And you know you’ll succeed) The time has come, take a leap of faith Leave the zone where no comfort’s left (let your heart start with a brand new beat)

Verse 1 Life has a way of testing people’s feelings by building the walls between them and seeing if they break through we were like two stars who couldn’t reach each other but somewhere deep inside we knew our paths would cross again Pre-chorus and we felt the shifting tides as the moon began to rise we’ll get lost and found again we’ll stay together till the end Chorus And we’ll step into the unknown always walking side by side we don’t know what the future holds but I will be with you day and night You say you’ll be there for me every moment like this is so dear to me It feels like we had to compete with life to become complete once more Verse 2 Lies that we’ve heard from far too many people saying we shouldn’t try to work it out between ourselves Fine, now it’s fine and we have realised that we shouldn’t be too selfish or we’ll always be alone Pre-chorus and we feel the shifting tides as the moon begins to rise we have lost and found again we’re together till the end Chorus And we’ll step into the unknown always walking side by side we don’t know what the future holds but I will be with you day and night You say you’ll be there for me every moment like this is so dear to me It feels like we had to compete with life to become complete once more Bridge Look at the sky the sun is out the symbol of us reuniting again and we will shine we’ll start anew no one will stand in our way anymore we’ll make it work now we are whole now there’s a chance to stay and not drift apart we should believe that we will see we’ll see this through together, we are one Chorus And we’ll step into the unknown always walking side by side we don’t know what the future holds but I will be with you day and night You say you’ll be there for me every moment like this is so dear to me It feels like we had to compete with life to become complete once more
