Seeking a quiet stage, we met among the trees
where the plains bind the mountains to the seas.
And we were operating by sunclipse,
proceeding by the fire, oh
we were bold and aimless.
In the red glow and bitter vapours,
we were flying alone.
"Follow me, follow me
I'll show you things you cannot see."
I'm hearing your breath from a certain distance.
"I will blow you to my lands!"
Will you only save me from the turmoil of your streams?
"Well, everything has already been sealed.
Now, close your eyes and tame your hind brain
with silence and discipline,
for once, shall you try."
"Face your fears and find balance in yourself.
Now, let it slowly drive your ego away.
And shall you calmly explore disarray.
Soon, shall you realize all intertwined
as slowly thaw the meanings from your mind."
We lied beyond the edge in which our thoughts are hold,
borne by the seeds from which our minds have grown.
Left with no words
to face silent tapestries.
Colours long forgotten
far beneath the constructs of our own.
Humbled and soothed,
laughing at certitudes.
When exaltation dimmed
we drifted to a state of peace.
And when the light gently reveals the next day,
we'll talk about our prospects of a new way.
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
Big, clanging psych-rock from this Arizona outfit fuses monk-like vocals with slow-winding guitars for songs that feel like strange hymns. Bandcamp New & Notable May 2, 2016
