Emptiness 05:42
EMPTINESS
 There's nothing to hold you 
Nowhere to run to
 Nothing much left to say

 There's no one to talk to
 No arms to enfold you
 No voice to tell you to stay 

There's no place to hide you 
No way to disguise the fact that you are in this alone
 There's no fear just questions
 No plan just protection from the things that might lead you astray 

Emptiness

 There's no one to judge you
 Nobody to punish you
 No fingers pointed at you

 Nothing to cling to
 No line to fuse to
 No beginning and no end

 There's nowhere to hide you
 No way to disguise the fact that you are in this alone 
There's no fear just questions
 No plan just protection from the things that might lead you astray

 Emptiness

 There's someone who loves you 
Somewhere to go to 
Someplace beyond your mind

 There's something to wish for 
Someone to die for
 Someplace beyond your mind 

Emptiness

Phantasm 04:13
PHANTASM
 Phantasm-She hangs above my bed
 pulls off the covers and sees my naked flesh 
Phantasm-She hides within my dreams 
open my eyes-and I'm breathing heavily

 Phantasm--She's walking through the rain
 Smiling grotesquely framed in my windowpane 
 Phantasm--She takes my breath with hers 
Sealing my fate-reborn with eternal kisses 

Phantasm--light and shadow move 
I knew that you'd return to my darkened room 
Phantasm-in the candle dance and sway 
In light and shadow play with me 

 Phantasm--She's walking through the rain
 Smiling grotesquely framed in my windowpane 
 Phantasm--She takes my breath with hers
 Sealing my fate-reborn with eternal kisses

 Phantasm-our night is almost done
 embrace my mind for another turn 
Phantasm-you're fading in the early light
 You slip away through dream time 

 Phantasm-You're walking through the rain
 Smiling grotesquely framed in my windowpane
 Phantasm-You take my breath with yours
 Seal my fate-I’m reborn to eternal kisses

EVOLUTIONARY MEN
 We are different
 We are unusual
 Individualistic 
pragmatic dogs
T he sum of our parts
 Four directions
 Outside and in your heads
 We're dancing visions 

 We are the Alter Boys
 We'll hold your hands and walk you down the aisles
 We'll drink the sacred blood 
And we'll swallow the body whole

 Into the future
We throw the past at you 
Unlock the ancient secrets
 Ring the bells, bells!
 We know what moves you
 Shakes you to the ground
 Inner monotheistic
 We'll be your Gods tonight

 We are the Alter Boys
 We'll hold your hands and walk you down the aisles 
We'll drink the sacred blood
 And we'll swallow the body whole 

 We are alien 
We know no space or time
 Connected
 Evolutionary Men
 We like the deep end
 Of the cosmic pool
 Subterranean singing
 We're drawing down the moon

ALL I NEVER WANTED
 Just let it go 
Don't pick it up off the floor
 Don't take it home leave it alone 
Just walk away and let it go

 Let it die
 Don't save it's life don't even try 
say your goodbyes-bury it tonight
 And let it die

 Soaring to the edge of the sun
 I leave behind
 All I never wanted

 Well it might drown 
It can't swim up from underground 
It won't grow anymore-it's not allowed
 So let it drown without a sound

 Watch it burn
 Don't lose your turn to win a hand in this round
 See what you've learned
 Throw a match to the ground-and watch it burn

 Soaring to the edge of the sun
I leave behind
 All I never wanted 

Lest we never forget
 Last week I'll never forget

The Station 04:36
THE STATION
 At The Station
 Across the hall
 I remember
 When we depart

 At The Station
 They call our names 
I don't see our friends all gathered here
 Where have they gone?

 And the World is shrinking every day
 Through the viewfinder I see the flames

 At The Station
 Waiting in line 
Flashing lights are everywhere 
Don't be afraid

 At The Station
 We have arrived
 We’ve found our way out of there 
Together my love

 And the World is shrinking every day 
Through the viewfinder I see the flames

 And the World gets smaller in your eyes 
I will follow you forever my love
6.
EDGE OF INFINITY
 Pierce the sky
 Divide the night 
Peer into the eternal chasm

 Look over
 Above the abyss
 The Edge Of Infinity
 ...Awaits

Moongarden 03:49
MOONGARDEN 
The Moon wept
 And the sister cried
 The Moon bled
 And the sister died 

Her flesh 
was painted blue and red 
The moon leapt
 And the sister went She went home

 The garden
 Was wet and sweet
 With candy
 And icicles swinging 
She was swinging 

The garden 
Beneath the sea
 The garden
 And she was free
 She was free
 She was free
 To go home
8.
Flood 04:25
FLOOD
 Why do I play this game to win? 
How much does sympathy cost?
 I walk downstairs to the underground
 There's no more room at the inn

 Too many people
 wandered to nowhere 
Too many lovers are lost

 Too many tears roll down
 Black and blue skin
 Too many lovers are gone 

So many children
 No mother or father
 Too much blood on our hands 

Too many babies
 Not enough arms to
 Hold all the love in the world

 The mirror reflection is not the same
 I live beyond this realm
 A sea of people drowning in themselves 
I swim my way up through the crowd 

Too many people
 Wandered to nowhere
 Too many lovers are lost 

Too many tears roll down
 Black and blue skin 
Too many lovers are gone Too many bodies
 Make all the wrong choices 
Too many lives to save

 Too many babies
 Not enough arms to
 Hold all the love in the world 

Too many people 
Too many bodies
 So many children
 With no mother or father

 Too many tears roll down 
Black and blue faces
 Too many babies
 Not enough arms to 
Hold all the love in the world

about

The follow up to our EP, "The Beating of the Wings", "The Station" expands and cements Revel Hotel's sound. As an album that harkens back to the days of turntable & headphone dedication, we want people to sit down and listen from start to finish. There is a journey to take here and we hope that you enjoy it.

about

Revel Hotel New York, New York

Formed in Spring 2008, Revel Hotel was birthed by several prominent New York musicians. The band shifts in sound and style, drawing inspiration from dark glam rock, venomous post-punk, meandering psychedelic atmospherics, and shameless synth pop.

The band released their debut studio EP, The Beating Of The Wings , in early 2010, followed by a full length LP entitled The Station in fall 2011.
