lyrics

In the desert the sinners sleep
to hide their souls from temptation's greed
As if it wasn't
their own ambiguous breed
So I walked through Jerusalem
To meet a man who choosed death to live
And he whispered
into my longing ear:


Hold your breath and count to ten
To make your world rotate again
So close your eyes to spin the wheel
And all you might conceal


You're living dead on the breakdown lane
So give or take what you can't retain
In search of balance
Your sleep's hard to defy
But I looked for truth in Judas' eyes
and encountered seven deaths to mourn you
Among others
I'll force myself to sleep


So hold your breath and count to ten
To make your world rotate again
So close your eyes to spin the wheel
And all you might conceal


In deadly shadows they hide
can't you hear their howling?
Dogs of doom will seal world's demise


Hold your breath and count to ten
To make your world rotate again
So close your eyes to spin the wheel
And all you might conceal


Hold your breath and count to ten
To make your world rotate again
So close your eyes to spin the wheel
And all you might conceal


Don't breath (and count to ten)
Don't look (and spin the wheel)
Ignore (the grinding steel)
Tell me: Shall this be real?


In deadly shadows they hide
cried the man with doll's eyes

In early 2014 the first EP has been recorded in Lübeck and the band is playing live regularly, the first full-length is being reeased in April 2016. ... more
