9.) Taken from their myspace.
"Dominion is a goth rock band, from Manila, the Philippines. cited as one of Asia's more relevant & longer running goth rock bands to date.
Although western rock influences are evident in the band's look and sound ; Dominion are believed to have uniquely injected eastern chord structures & authentic filipino symbolism & instrumentation in their brand of songwriting identitiy,
Their song "Luksa" is proof of this, considered the first tagalog "goth" song of it's kind. although some band members are non-filipinos ; the band has maintained this concept and ideology.
Formed in 1994, the band was a vehicle to deliver originally written music in the gothic rock vein to the unsuspecting local filipino underground.
Founded by Doi Porras (*drums/vox) along with recruited members Mike Strange (*vox/guitars),Iman leonardo (*bass), Raymond Paras (*guitar) and later Ady baysa (synths), They are noted to expose and be a main influence in today's filipino gothic scene.
Influential enough to be covered by national TV and print media,their album "Hand of cain" although not a commercially successful release is regarded as an important relic that has cemented the road for later bands to follow.
Although an independent band; Dominion achieved National tours sponsored by major brands such as Jack Daniels, Colt 45 , San Miguel Beer, Philippine Airlines and Axe Cologne;
They have also have appeared constantly on Abs-Cbn TV ; RPN TV ; MTV Asia; and have co-billed with Kozi (ex Malice mizer / Japan), Angina Pectoris (Germany), & Eve of destiny (Japan) aside from relevant Filipino bands like Dahong palay,Razor back,Alamid, Advent call, & Sugar hiccup,
Dominion articles, Blurbs and press has been published by important reads such as Pulp Magazine , Philippine daily star, Philippine inquirer, Manila bulletin and lately in British Goth documentarist Mick mercer's book. "Music to die for"
Many fans of underground music credit them to have pioneered the spread of goth music in the Philippines since the early nineties.
"This is a definite for any fan of The Sisters of mercy, The Mission Uk, The Cure, 69 eyes and Him" -Gerard Bumanglag , MyGothicheart.com "

Prism
Dominion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why bow to those in charge
No questions follow aimlessly
Time to give away your mind
Collide with accepted opinion
You're making it hard
For yourself - in this so called choice
Recognise this dormant attitude
Don't listen to those who destroy
This instintive direction
Who is anyone to lay judgement and
Judge you if you don't follow on passively
You're fucking with destiny
Down to your own inferior declne
We can't beat them but won't join them
We won't rise up to their ideals
Lies, destructive lies
We criticise you in the public eyes
Down but not out
They criticise us in the public eye
Lies, destructive lies
We criticise you in the public eye
Dare to differ and do you fear
Being the outcat
Afraid of what they might say
Turn your back
And let prejudice criticise you
Who's the real loser
The lyrics of Dominion's song "Prism" are an anthem against conformity and the pressure to conform to the expectations of the society. The opening lines "Commercial crucifixion, Why bow to those in charge" express the idea of conformity as a kind of sacrifice to the interests of the "powers that be", which control how society thinks and behaves.
The lyrics also highlight the importance of imagination, rejecting the "dormant attitude" that comes with blind conformity. The singer urges the listener to "collide with accepted opinion," to challenge the status quo and break free from the constraints of mainstream culture. The song encourages the listener to be true to themselves, to follow their own path, rather than swallowing the lies and destructive ideas fed to them by the media.
Throughout the song, the singer maintains a defiant spirit, rejecting the judgment of those who criticize those who dare to be different. Ultimately, the song speaks to the struggle between individualism and conformity and encourages the listener to embrace their own identity, even if it means standing apart from the crowd.
