Crown
When your eyes slam shut and the sun has lost its glow.
Just another round in an endless circle
Are you the one that they all look upon?
To get it done and go out tomorrow for another round
When your love runs out no matter how hard you try
Everyone sees it cause I wear a crown
Just take another round, wait for me on the other side
Am I above the rest or is it wearing me down?
Yeah the ruling kind, why can't you see what they really are?
Sitting way up high, waiting to cut you down
You told me about sleepless nights and how your father cried
I feel the rain on my face, it reminds me i am alive
Would it be real fun, just to see me gone?
Everyone sees it cause I wear a crown
I know when the madness starts, I’m slipping out of my mind
Am I above the rest or is it wearing me down?
I feel like breaking down…
Now… I see you disappear
Now… I see you fade away
Now… I see you coming down
Yeah going down
Yeah you coming down
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Illusion of meaning
On the wrong side of right
But the right side of us
The way she moved
Made the armies hesitate
Ill fitted prosthetics
Fully functional toadlets
She is different
Just like everybody else
Ornate explanations
Makes no difference
Anywhere but here
We live an illusion
A time for everything
Sit down and listen
You are the reason for everything
But the answer to nothing
I’ve been treated like a fool
For gazing at the stars
But who is the fool
When you are all stuck
In the same boring routine
One end leads to another beginning
And at night we feast because we are doomed to continue
Silence is the new noise
Wrong is the new right
Where is nowhere?
Empty like a temple without a god
You will know him when you see her
She commands you to follow
But I am here to tell you that your ruler is you

Shun the sun
It’s the rum runners curse
I know the bastards have been watching me a while
Set the new destination
The colonies need their shine
Shun the sun
Shun the sun
What in the hell have I done
Can’t stay here so I run
This ship is sure not stock anymore
I have named her the bird of Nas
Eight storms on jupiter
Now a just a memory that's gone
Shun the sun
Shun the sun
What in the hell have I done
Can’t stay here so I run
I slip away
Shine
Free from the constraints
of orbital mechanics
Travelling different routes
From everybody else
That's how I hide
That's why they pay me
The colonies need their shine
Thank fortune it is forbidden
I slip away

Zombie Machine
You built a shrine on what I hate
You cover your scars with bright tattoos
What is the truth?
The truth is a game
Let me know the last thing you knew
Let me know the first thing you forgot
Bigger the smile, greater the pain
A path of salt left behind
Hide your tears in the rain
I do not choose you today
Lover and nurse, blessing and curse
This is how I know the visions are true
Worship deities unprayed
The last of my thoughts that are sane
Sweet fumes hallucinate
Ride on Valkyrian
Let me know the last thing you knew
Let me know the first thing you forgot
This is how I know the visions are true
I admire your fakeness…

Shadow King
Saw the shadow of a ghost today
It startled me then it ran away
I chased it until I could no more
The colours drained from her face
I heard a unknown voice today
It told me to stay away
I had to look and pulled the drapes..
With a flicker the flame was gone
We have forgotten how to listen, we never learned how to see
We talk and talk and nothing is done
All we can do is feel, but we don't understand it
I am the Shadow King
Unaware of my own shortcomings
Consumed with one thing
Overstimulated and bored
Driven to win but already lost
When you lose yourself
You are the last one to know
I give to you my angels share, if it is mine to give
A gift of life from me to you
The sweet vapour of my soul, inhale the fumes to warm your bones
We have forgotten how to listen, we never learned how to see
We talk and talk and nothing is done
All we can do is feel, but we don't understand it
I give to you my angels share, if it is mine to give
A gift of life from me to you
The sweet vapour of my soul, inhale the fumes to warm your bones
Shadow of your kingdom
Darkness in your mind
In this shadow, I am king
In the darkness I am everything

Dirty Red Velvet
Dirty red velvet sofa
Did not provide much comfort
Still tired, still drunk
Mouth tastes like rotten flesh
Nostrils burn from cigarette smoke
Stuck a note in your hand
Could not stay around so I ran
I just hope you understand
That what I did was not my plan
I feel bad and now it hurts
Drawn to the light
Unaware of how it burns
Stuck a note in your hand
I could not stay here so I ran
I still wanna be your friend
But I know that it must end
I’m looking for the Devil cause i need to make a deal
Get that bitch online and hook me up
All these years I’ve learned that most things burn quite well
Post your shit on snapstagram and you will burn in hell
Stuck a note in your hand
I could not stay here so I ran
I still wanna be your friend
But I know that it must end

Book of oblivion
I don’t know her anymore or who she used to be
Got no feelings anyway, nothing left in me
This will be the first time, that I show you how
She don’t owe me anything, neither favours nor gifts
Changed my mind about everything, all feelings set adrift
I run my hand across her and feel the warmth she gives
One day I could not find her, she did not answer my call
I had been careless, she had gone out alone
I heard all the stories, and they turned me to stone.
Break...
You turn away, walk away, but I know where you will go
You hide your face, in the shade, but I have seen it before
Your violent deeds are not forgotten, your wanton needs are unfullfilled
I’ll write your name in the book of oblivion.
Keep it clean, gasoline, with a fever burning
Roll your wheels, draw your steels, let’s see them shining
Ride hard and go far with the pistons pumping
Smell the smoke, masterstroke, encased in oak
And all the losers keep track of the score
Bang the drums, draw your guns, watch the fools running
Ring the bell, peeping Tom, leave the lights running
Hear the howl of the Banshees in your mind
Spray my mouth, witness me and my silver smile
If you don’t live for something, you will die for nothing.
Now you know my name

Fantastic album from front to back! Incredibly catchy, fuzzy riffs, great songwriting and powerful lyricism. A classic of modern heavy psych / stoner music!

OMG, late to the party but this is some of the best occult infused doom stoner tackle I've ever heard. Reference points include Sabbath (obvs), especially with the Ozzy-esque vocals but there's also the melodiousness of early Heep mixing with a more contemporary occult rock sound. It starts in the 70's and makes it to the present day. The riffs are huge but it's their way with a hook that elevates this from your average doom/stoner fare. Very wonderful indeed!
