Ogre Tones
"Ogre Tones" is the eleventh full-length studio album from hard rock/progressive rock band King's X. It was released in 2005, and is their first record for InsideOut, which is a label that is devoted to progressive music (other InsideOut artists include Ayreon, James LaBrie and Riverside).
Reception
Greg Prato of Allmusic gave the record 3.5 stars of 5, saying that "While there are a few catchy tunes — especially the album opener, 'Alone' — for the most part, riffs 'n' ranting play a prominent role here." He also said that "not all of the lyrics hit the mark", citing a line from the song "Bebop" which apparently quotes "Tutti Frutti", by legendary rock singer Little Richard.

Ogre Tones
by: King's XNo I'm not sad about it
No I'm not mad about it
Sort of getting used to it
Everybody leaves sooner or later
No I'm not hurt about it
No I'm not sure about it
Must be good at chasing away
Everyone I love sooner or later
Now I always think about it
Yeah I always think about it
There's never nothing left to say
Everybody does sooner or later
I don't know what it is about me
That magnifies my self conscience
Operation numb the pain
Gonna take you higher sooner or later
Gonna keep on trying
Gonna stop this crying
It's just another day
It's just the way
No I'm not mad about it
No I'm not sad about it
Sort of getting used to it
Everybody leaves sooner or later
