Time To Pay so now you have to pay for what we did now you have to eat all our shit and even if you find a place to hide we'll be lurking with our vicious sight we will beat you with all our force but you keep smiling ‘cause that’s what you want we will rape all your dreams and then we’ll crown you worms's king we have fed you from your first breath with plastic and poisons to make you serve us best we will clone you like a sheep poor rich bored trapped in a screen the majority says yes so now you are the fool you… we did our best when you where just a kid at school we gave you education, we gave you rules we gave you candies that rot if chewed. born killers and we don’t need a mask born sinners and we don’t need a priest ahhh..it’s so much fun looking at you crawling, striving happy to inform you it’s time to pay all our debts, all our crimes born killers and we don’t need a mask born sinners and we don’t need a priest

This House 03:45
lyrics

This House this house..you are never alone no door to knock just rotten walls there is a place here waiting for you here are no rules but there’s nothing to do this house..watch out your feet the floor is filthy there’s no need to clean all around only an apparent mess the flush is broken but joy fills the air this house..nothing pretty to see another day, another night to live this house..that’s the place to be you’re gonna like it come yourself and see, come to me the day comes forth and I give you my word but yet my fingers searching money on the floor piling coins like towers of shade the heat of the desert it’s too hard to escape I don’t even realize and I’m down on the street nothing to do, not even mum to deal with my man is waiting, waiting for me the day’s promise which I’ll never keep, yeah, I’ll never keep this house..nothing pretty to see another day and nothing decent to eat this house..like the reign of a king you’re gonna like it close your eyes come and see this house.. this house..

In The City 04:55
lyrics

In The City smell of piss, 6pm downtown, they are out when sun goes down wheelchairs, useless newspapers to sell, someone sings a sad song loud look around, the strife takes many forms but all is clean on the advertising board in the city all glitters on the surface in the city the light’s for those who own it no good no evil no one here is innocent so don’t trust the preacher, contradiction is everywhere guests in a prison with bars made of desires repeating every day a necessary pantomime in the city all glitters on the surface in the city that’s where I come from no future no dreams, nothing looks serene or bright a fix is warmer than a blanket in the freezing night in the city all glitters on the surface in the city sun shines just for some and that’s where I belong

Machines 04:06
lyrics
buy track
Machines outstretched fingers sink into the vibrant core there’s nothing left to steal, no reason to dig more and I just can’t believe what I see a row of faces with no name that look like me on our burning land machines devour everything there was no hesitance, slaves by our own will and I can’t believe what I hear a row of shadows singing a music made ​​of tears the information is written in the D.N.A. eyes pointing to the sky but cling along the way and I can’t believe what I see infected souls oozing tears

The Other 04:07

The Other I’m gonna be your no one, I’m nobody’s friend you passed me the other day mistaken for someone else I am the postman crossing your way I’ll be watching the traffic day by day I’m gonna sell you flowers there at the corner I’m the taxi driver coming from nowhere I am your neighbour, I’m the pain in your ass I don’t have a name ‘cause I’m the mask and I will be the witness of your guilty fact I'll follow all your footsteps and catch you right in the act and I will be in your room when you’re sleeping at night invisible like a ghost, discreet like a spy I'm the other on the other side when you don’t see me I steal your life I’m the other I’ll take all you have you better fear me and keep me away and I will be in your room when you’re sleeping at night quiet like a ghost, cautious like a spy I’ll keep your secret for me I’ll keep your secret for me I'm the other on the other side I’ll steal your money, I steal your life I’m the other, I take all you have you’ve learned to fear me and keep me away I'm the other on the other side when you don’t see me I live your life I’m the other I take all you have I take all you have, all you have

Another Day On Earth weekend he waited for all week hoping the mask at the end would fall remaining motionless stuck like a bird in tar love and die and never know feel like a bomb about to explode longing for happiness hiding behind a gentle smile he hardly wakes and it’s still dawn blaming the mirror he gets ready for another bitter laugh under a sudden storm another day on earth trying and failing once again hey, today feels way too much to bare he wears his favourite dress but there’s nobody to impress he hardly wakes and it’s still dawn blaming the mirror he get’s ready for another bitter laugh under a sudden storm another day on earth just a little man but under rain and wind he goes on he dreams of saying no when darkness falls hating those who exploited him a lifetime long another bitter laugh, another broken love another day on earth

Ice Skating 04:13
lyrics

Ice Skating a subtle line of cold, a stone that turns into gold it’s another way to say I feel alive again! what if the ice will break, what if I make a mistake if at the end I’ll burn after I’ve looked at the sun walking along a thin line of fear moving so fast it feels so real so, come ice skating with me, we’ll be so light and free and we will have some fun, we’ll throw all dices at once I know that ice can break, so fragile yet so great I know that sun can burn if I just turn walking along a thin line of fear living so fast to feel it's real I'd rather die, I'd rather burn, I'd rather lose look in my eyes to see me through and more it hurts, more I like it, more it strikes, more I buy it what if your face falls in the water your frozen eyes cannot re-open walking along a thin line of fear moving so fast it feels so real I know I’m playing with fire, it’s just the stress of staying alive and I can’t close my eyes the light attracts me like a little fly what if the ice will break what if we made a mistake if at the end we’ll burn blow off your ashes and turn inside a sense of loss cold crater in my heart remember how began how ended far

about

Born from Berlin’s underground scene, named after the ancient Mesopotamian city, Ur’s Music is kaleidoscopic, experimental and psychedelic, with a visceral trust in the power of rock music as a tool to shake consciences.
Ur's Music reflect the strong identity of the band and the wide background of Jacopo and Nico, creating a unique sound out of multiple stylistic influences, moving freely between Punk, Progressive, Stoner, Psychedelic and Electronic Music.
The title of Ur’s first album “City of UR”, alluding metaphorically to the vanished Mesopotamian city and society, invites a reflection on the terminal state of contemporary civilisation
