The Turn of the Tide

What about the dreams we had
I woke up
The golden age we lived in
It’s all gone
The roof above my head
Used to be the endless sky
The price of this land
Old freedom of mine
And now I find myself in such a cruel position
The boy begs me to hold on to the dream of the cosmic scene, while the man tells me to wake up
'When it's gone, it's gone. Time to let go.'
I really do mind
I can't take the time
To be what I used to be
What I'm losing, is me
And this time
It's falling apart
Though I don't want to leave
No longer I believe
In the turning of the tide
What about the sleepless nights
Saying hello to the rising sun
What about the open road
I took a stop and you went on
And all my life I've been taught to stay in the middle, not to stray too far to either side
And now I’m stuck in the middle
I really do mind
I can't take the time
To be what I used to be
What I'm losing, is me
And this time
It's falling apart
Though I don't want to leave
No longer I believe
In the turning of the tide

The Sky
Slit by silvery barbs
The Earth
Scortched trees, a lonely bird
The last of its kind
The ocean, the sea
Dying bed of once mighty reefs
Space
Endless darkness, time makes no sense
(That's all I see)
I walked a thousand miles
Just to get lost in my own mind
I read through those lines
To release the the curse from inside
Ignorance is bliss
And I learned just enough
To earn a fractured mind
And a trembling heart
Day and night
Fear keeps weaving the web
And I'm trapped - beyond help
Life and death
One gets shorter, one comes closer
Every day
The fear of loss
Every time I close my eyes
I stand up again
Just to crawl, to stumble, to fall
I became the star that shoots
From far above
Ascended to fall
Back to oblivion
With a shattered mind
And a trembling soul

The Endless Ring of Life

All fine
Its only that the ship is going down
The water is rising the lifeboats are gone
One way to go and it's down below
No light, no air, straight down to the unknown
Too dark to see what fate awaits the obscure is yawning at feet
Too dark to see what fate awaits the obscure is waiting patiently
The stream runs wild, the swirl spins faster
Hold on to your life
Down the drain a different chapter
Unfolds - maybe (hope?) something bright
All fine
Its only that the room is on fire
The smoke is too thick you can't find the way out
Maybe for a change just let the flames go wild
It'll be a whole new scene when the dust settles down
Through and through and after all no effort to let it fall
Through and through and after all no effort to let it fall
The stream runs wild, the swirl spins faster
Hold on to your life
Down the drain a different chapter
Unfolds - maybe (hope?) something bright
It lifts you up and pulls you under
Hurts and heals the mind
A gentle breeze, (then) a roaring thunder
The endless ring of life

by Crowhammer
Spaced-out krautrock and dizzying drone from this Irish band that packs a punch—the sound of being caught in an asteroid belt.

Big, clanging psych-rock from this Arizona outfit fuses monk-like vocals with slow-winding guitars for songs that feel like strange hymns.
