Tied Up In Wire
06:23
|
|||
|
We plagiarise our hopes and dreams
And hide the truth behind the scenes
Projecting wonder, but living shame
We plan to live, but not today
This sacred life
Tied up in wire
Constrained by minds
Technologised
We bastardise our primal needs
To cauterise our self esteem
The throws of pleasure are spiked with pain
We hope to love, but not today
This sacred life
Tied up in wire
Constrained by minds
Technologised
This wasted life
Of lost desire
Consumed by fear
Of virtual eyes

Animals

Who locked the animal inside the cage?
Who put the poison in the Holy Grail?
Knock down the pedestal, come out to play
There’s nothing sacred ‘bout the hippy shake
No flames in your eyes
No bait for the rise
What’s in a memory without disgrace?
What’s wrong with dreaming of the good old days?
When we fucked like animals, devoid of shame
When yours and mine were really one and the same
No flames in your eyes
No bait for the rise
No dirt in your mind
And I can’t help but wonder why
We gotta find a way out of this fucking rut
Let’s slit the throat of self-doubt before this life runs out
Who locked the animal inside the cage?
Who put the poison in the Holy Grail?
Knock down the pedestal, come out to play
There’s nothing sacred ‘bout the hippy shake

Tether
03:43
|
|||
|
Pure solvent and spice
Red bloodshot eyes
You know I’m feeling the ride
Now I’m flying away
Getting crystalline vibes
Respiration in sighs
You know I think I’m alive?
Not on the same plane
Now we’re standing at the precipice of my mind
Never knowing what the tether is to this life
Treading water while the senses meld and collide
Really hoping I can get to know my mind
Living chemical dreams
That slowly break at the seams
You know I’m happy to be
In this eternal haze
Now we’re standing on the precipice of my mind
Never knowing what the tether is to this life
Treading water while the senses meld and collide
Really hoping I can get to know my mind
Now we’re standing at the precipice of my mind
Never knowing what the tether is to this life
Treading water while the senses meld and collide
Really thinking I should get to know my mind

Avalon
05:39
|
|||
|
These roads are paved with gold and washed with wine
A pathway to decline
But she holds the flames of Avalon inside
And I mean to fuel the fire
Will I prevail?
Will I hold my nerve? It’s on display
Will I enable, to serve my desire?
Of end away
This line is fine and time ain’t on my side
One more sip and it slips away
Will I find the keys to paradise in time?
Before someone loses their mind
Will I prevail?
Will I hold my nerve? It’s on display
Will I enable, to serve my desire?
Of end away
Will I prevail?
Will I hold my nerve? It’s on display
Will I enable, to serve my desire?
Of end away

The Worm
03:19
|
|||
|
You know this isn’t like it was before
Heavy eyes, a disguise from better times
Now I can feel the worm inside my brain
Diggin’ deep down into yesterday
Hide from the morning sun
Escape from the day
Never to leave this island
Across the seas of refrain
And I can’t stand to lose another day
Stuck inside of a mind riddled with shame
Now I can feel the worm inside my brain
Telling me of every word I said
Hide from the morning sun
Escape from the day
Never to leave this island
Across the seas of refrain
As you lie there in the mess you made
I’ll remind you about yesterday
All the memories that you thought were gone
All the fuck-ups, every single one
As you lie there in the bed you made
I’ll remind you about yesterday
All the memories you tried to erase
Hide from the morning sun
Escape from the day
Never to leave this island
Across the seas of refrain

Four And One
06:21
|
|||
|
Make it stop before I scratch my eyes out
No goddam reason, it makes no sense at all
Four times and one, no interruptions or it starts again
As if it makes a difference to a thing
Hey, there’s a glitch in my mind
A repetitive rhyme
Like an echo in time
Repeat the same again and again ‘till silenced
It’s like the record skips at the same time
Four times and one, no deviations, cannot break the rules
As if there’s any punishment to face
Hey, there’s a glitch in my mind
A repetitive rhyme
Like an echo in time
Hey, there’s a glitch in my mind
A repetitive rhyme
Like an echo in time
Help, put a stitch in my mind
Stop it repeating
Like an echo in time

Salty Twenty-Four
04:37
|
|||
|
Well you taught me how to separate the man from the fool
When I was just a young degenerate, but nobody’s cool
And now I can see by the look in your eyes that you’re mine
No fear of knowing that I missed the boat, but let’s get wet on the ride
Times may change, but in the long run
When you call my name I’ll be coming home
Minds may age, but all you need to know
Is while you hold my love it’ll only grow
Sweet sixteen? Try salty twenty-four, she knows what she likes
When we were sharing tale and fallacies like beasts of the night
Times may change, but in the long run
When you call my name I’ll be coming home
Minds may age, but all I need to know
Is when you hold my face, you'll hold it down low
Times may change, but in the long run
When you call my name I’ll be coming home
Minds may age, but all you need to know
Is while you hold my love it’ll only grow

Over

Am I a slave, an automaton?
What can I do to change this ride?
Under the weight of all I care for
Can I escape against the tide?
Fate? If I live or die, is it my right to decide?
Blame? If I close my eyes, would it be mine or those lights?
For those that I leave behind, would any answer suffice?
Sane? If I lose this mind, will it be over?
Am I a waste, another burden?
What can I do to change your mind?
Under the weight of all I care for
Is there a reason to survive?
Fate? If I live or die, is it my right to decide?
Blame? If I close my eyes, would it be mine or those lights?
For those that I leave behind, would any answer suffice?
Sane? If I lose this mind, will it be over?
Fate? If I live or die, is it my right to decide?
Blame? If I close my eyes, would it be mine or those lights?
For those that I leave behind, would any answer suffice?
Sane? If I lose this mind, will it be over?

Faerie Ring return and so does the RIFF, all caps. Faerie Ring take what would be a cookie cutter riff from anyone else and just JUICE it so thoroughly, with passion and energy and melodic interest and the all-important rhythmic groove (much more important to a good stoner riff than loud fuzz), that it just blows out your speaker and makes you mean mug. Guaranteed. I loved the wacky sounds they created in the studio that really push this over the edge from great into bonkers-great.

Italian stoner powerhouse Tenebra has the heft of Sabbath and the hooks of Saint Vitus in their powerfully imposing tunes.
