Olga's Burning Sparrows: Music Release!

My band released two songs this past year (first was actually in 2025, but it was less than a year ago, so I stand by my statement), and I never got around to making any kind of big announcement over here about it, considering I never made any real announcements about anything over here. But hey, better late than never, right? So I thought I’d include links to where you can listen to both our tracks and where you can read the lyrics! So enjoy these nifty embedded players I figured out (hopefully) and read along as Awbrey and I serenade you, while Zach and Bob blast you with beats and guitars, respectfully. (Well, some of those guitars are mine, too, but yeah...the both of us.)

“Devil I Know”

I couldn’t force the inspiration;

my muse just would not dance.

So in an act of desperation,

I let you in.

You shattered every window

once I opened the door.

I gave up everything,

but they still wanted more.

Now the sphere is overflowing,

and there are demons all around.

In the darkness I am thriving.

I’ll never come back down.

So throw me from the tower, and I’ll fly.

Lead me around the broken spiral.

I won’t ask why.

As long as you keep me singing,

I’ll dance your midnight show.

They can keep their invisible angels;

I choose the devil that I know.

There is beauty in demolition;

sowing chaos is an art.

When I dance here with my demons,

at least I know my part.

CHORUS

When I die you’ll come to claim me,

and we’ll slip past the fiery gates.

If they were to let me into heaven,

I wouldn’t know anyone anyway.

CHORUS

“Karma”

Time won’t set you free

from the ghosts you left behind.

The secrets that you keep

locked inside

are clawing at the gates,

waiting for you to break.

Time won’t set you free.

There’s nowhere left to hide.

I won’t save you anymore, anymore.

(I won’t save you)

I won’t save you...

Just surrender.

The ghost of who you were

follows in your wake

with a face you can’t remember

and never name.

A weight around your neck,

a shadow in your steps:

the ghost of who you were

will drive you insane.

CHORUS

Your secrets and your lies

won’t keep you safe for long,

and the ones you’ve left behind

will carry on.

Now your true face is known,

you’ll never go back home.

Your secrets and your lies

will only bring you down.

Time can’t heal all wounds;

some scars never fade.

Fate will find you soon,

if not today.

When your ghosts break you apart,

they’ll see your fractured heart.

Time can’t heal all wounds,

our erase the pain.

CHORUS

Do you surrender?
