Mother of the sun
I can feel your warmth
Moving so slow
I feel the change come around
How’d we get here?
Where did time go?
I wanna be free
But I’ve lost control
If he was real
He’d set me free
But your light only shines
Bright in the dark
Stranger in the dark
Won’t you come in close?
Your touch is cold
I feel the change come around

Ancients

I can’t believe the world you want
Where you take the poor, toss them aside
Don’t you see how the world will work?
When people do not fear, what they all know
Your ancient ways will crumble down
Your fear is no excuse at all
To snatch away a life
Please turn your mind and heed the call
Or justice will just rot and die
Your ancient ways will crumble down
I’ve seen it all, seen it all before
Your will is strong, not strong enough
We’ll take it back, take it back from you
Your ancient ways will crumble down

The Seeker

Spirits come down from the hill
They are calling your name still
We’re all hoping you don’t crash
Telling the truth shouldn’t be so hard
When the black sun sets
It leaves a scar
It doesn’t have to be this way
And you never show your face
Seeker don’t look to your past
The future holds a stronger path
Not one reason to wait
Slipping into the abyss
As you raise the glass to your lips
You can’t even look me in the eye
You silenced your demons now
And your hero smiles down

Voices

The tower smokes into the skyline
The engine boils and churns
Faceless workers in the breadline
A place to starve is what they’ve earned
Don’t try
All I ask is “Why?”
Through the eyes of a child
As the landscape fades away
I’m gonna drift off into space
You look for answers in the darkness
But a book of lies is your only light
And the voices in your head they can’t help you
Don’t you try to understand this life
Don’t try
All I know is time
Through the eyes of a child
As the landscape fades away
I’m gonna drift off into space

Gone

My love
She left me on the side of the road
Didn’t turn back to see my body turn cold
Left me out to rot lying with the warm stones
Sun sets she’s gone
She’s gone
All my blood is spent and flows into the hard earth
I can’t find a reason to lift my head and fight on
This wretched story reads just like a sick joke
Night falls and I’m gone
Our love is once in a lifetime
My heart is yours for the taking
Tears fall
Rain down into the chasm of my parched soul
I remember that I’m living in a strange world
But this one life is all I’ll ever get to know

Badlands

Sun goes down
Coyotes howl
Bow our heads to the arms of the world
Lightning chasing
Bison grazing
This is not our domain
Melting castles
Serpents rattle
Badlands sing a song to the dead

Vultures

|
I know where I belong
Under the mountain’s shroud
Set free from human sound
It’s so far from me now
How can I win?
With the weight of the world
Pushing down on me
I cannot breath
Goddess of the earth
There’s blood in my eyes
Strip it all away
So I can see clear
Surrounded by the crowd
I’ve tried to make them proud
Clarity I have not found
They’re waiting for me now
You will not keep
Keep me from myself
I will break free from all of this
Your chains are strong, but not strong enough
I will be in this place no more
I will not wait
Darker become the clouds
And the vultures circle around
They hungry for me now
And I welcome them down
I don’t know where I belong
I don’t know how to belong
I don’t know if I belong

Dead Man Blues
05:20
|
|||
|
Dead man in living clothes
Wanders earth all alone
Evil thoughts bore into his soul
Like a gloved hand catching his throat
See his pale face
Can’t look away
Might kill today
Lying naked on the cavern floor
Hit the bottom, still a long way to go
The pills are bitter, don’t work anymore
His mouth is moving but the words won’t flow
She’s his only hope
See his pale face
Can’t look away
Might kill today

BLACK LUNG Baltimore, Maryland
In the deadly cold winter of 2014, Black Lung emerged from the underbelly of Baltimore with unprecedented amounts of volume. A union of Adam Bufano, Elias Mays Schutzman (of The Flying Eyes) and multi-instrumentalist Dave Cavalier, the trio toes the line between sonic pain and melodic bliss. ... more

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points. This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+...

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art? But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space.
