1.	Blue Devils 02:38	lyrics	buy track
Don’t tell me about tomorrow Don’t tell me about new day I can’t control my eager thoughts I have never been so calm Dusty rains wash down my eyes My eyes are bleeding sores Blue devils Can you hear a blessing From a cold dry stone Can you feel the frozen breeze? In a desolated dome I have my mind been hanging Hanging from the past Blue devils It is time for us to try Finding a way to talk It is time for us to be quite There is nowhere to resort Don’t tell me about tomorrow Don’t tell me about new day I can’t control my eager thoughts I have never been so calm I keep the fire burning Burning down my soul Blue devils
2.	They Live Under Streets 03:50	lyrics	buy track
It’s believed they live under streets that every day we walk on in the eye of the storm in a black hole On further stars where no human eye can see It’s believed they forgive us all for what we haven’t done before we have changed the main street names we have forgotten their tongue We can’t break this unwritten law, we keep on living I light a fire for you; I light a fire for them all This is dedicated to you is dedicated to them all If only I could thank all of them for what they’ve done before I am so electrified; I wasn’t able to do so It’s believed they live under streets that every day we walk on in the eye of the storm in a black hole
3.	She's a Dancer 04:46	lyrics	buy track
Poor light of evening when the sun is going down Since there is dark she is going to get out Wearing a white dress She doesn’t need much to Born blind she has never seen her mother’s face She has to guess the sight of anything perceived Walking barefoot She needs some more to feel She is a dancer Letting hair down Fascinating footsteps Attract them all around She’s a dancer Flitting like a bird Whirling in fury To get away from harm Once was in a feast day and music played loud Boys and girls in floral clothes looked proud Wishing to find their mates And make their own life She appears from nowhere and starts to play her game Jumping up down during her favorite air All have been looking at her Nobody could compare to Since her crazy dance seems to have no end The so called brides have been getting mad They kick her out of party But how could you forget her? She rises to heavens on a bright cloud Down the people have their eyes stuck on The stars become a ballet A wedding dress around her
4.	Coming Back 04:55	lyrics	buy track
We don’t know, may nobody can, When this war will have an end, why so? Still I don’t know, I can’t even guess Against whom we seek revenge and what for Still I don’t know why I am trying hard And for whom and why, I wonder All our friends already gone Nobody but enemies remain to command and reign Still I can’t perceive what we fear Fear has a face or it is unreal Still I don’t know why I am trying hard And for whom and why, I wonder Where now there are ruins Once was a crowded town You may doubt us or you may believe We have been here and we’ve lived for a long time We don’t know, may nobody can, When this war will have an end, why so? Still we don’t know why we are coming back And for whom and why, I wonder
5.	Getting Vertigo 04:00	lyrics	buy track
Strike an airplane Sink a boat Tear down a building Blow up the Hall Burn the forest Contaminate the coast Devastate highways Black out the town Beware of twins Standing by the cliffs Revenge or justice Both are relentless Silent - Violent Drink the poison Breathe in the smoke Execute innocents Sacrifice a goat Having betrayed Your own mate Disappoint your relatives Having been ingrate Beware of soldier Stained with blood Revenge or justice Both are relentless Noise and fusion Pain and pleasure Passion and anger Signifying danger I regret to tell you We are thrown off We are getting vertigo Through an endless cloud
6.	In the Nightfall 02:59	lyrics	buy track
What do you call these birds keeping on flying during a rainfall? In the nightfall children recite lyrics Carrying out plays in the hall In the nightfall these children recite lyrics Carrying out plays In the morning they are encaged and trapped A poisonous river flows in veins Cracking up on stage Cracking up on stage All the night they have been sitting up late Being afraid What do you call these birds keeping on flying during a rainfall? Can’t stand the pain Failed to explain the manner of dealing with fears Whatever you give is less than they need Whatever A ticking time bomb and nobody knows When it is time to explode? A ticking time bomb and nobody knows How to disarm it at all? Helping each other Stay away! Don’t bother As long as they breathe they live They will remain They will remain They will remain in the air
7.	Follow the Liar 02:27	lyrics	buy track
This place is like a war front We are all entirely confused These days are so crucial No Messiah will come down We are certain to fail when We turn a blind eye to the lie We follow the liar We follow the liar We do believe the leader telling Exactly what we would like We blame the prophet spelling Which of all will come true? We are certain to fail when We turn a blind eye to the lie We follow the liar We follow the liar Here come the loonies. Can’t you See the monsters that hide Here come the killers, oh demon What else we do have to deal We are certain to fail when We turn a blind eye to the lie We follow the liar We follow the liar
8.	Desperate Ghost 03:48	lyrics	buy track
I am frightened of the ones who love to hate and hate to love But even more I am terrified of those who are getting numb They have no guts to face the truth They keep on keeping on staying Unfair and veiled Unfair and veiled I am sick of those who are beating birds leaving from their nest But even more I am scared of those who quietly do consent Dangerous vultures swoop and snatch A harmless innocent dove They hit and run They hit and run I am cautious of the ones who attract so as to get you trapped But even more I really stand back of those remaining calm Behind of charm the sirens call Dead sailor lying on the coast Like a desperate ghost Desperate ghost I am ashamed for hideous crimes that ever have been done Poor people have been kicked and punched Poor mothers dressed in black Derailed souls and fatal blows History is painted in blood In the desperate land Desperate land
9.	Sisyphus, the poor star 04:41	lyrics	buy track
We sleep late and wake up early But at least we sleep and wake up We build cities, monstrosities Stone by stone Day by day You, Sisyphus, are the leader We build and destroy We should no longer be involved in wars You, Sisyphus, our leader You pose a threat to our calm We don’t respect our calm Running after a rolling stone Day by day, year by year You, Sisyphus, always lose but at least you try And you try, and you try again Say it! Again We have met before We have played together You, Sisyphus, were the leader You, Sisyphus, the poor star Can you really talk with your mouth closed? And what’s for Do you really pray with all your heart? And what’s for Be awake Sleep late and wake up early But at least we sleep and wake up
10.	Here is the River 05:11	lyrics	buy track
Here is the river, there is the shore I am crossing the waters carrying a metaphor This may be a way or this may be not My heart still is playing an acting role I live in a body of pain from which I have to be released I give you joy, I give you hope This may end to the core of love Eyes are playing, I remain in the room And staring at the fields of light in the desert of the night I live in a body of pain from which I have to be released Looking to find you on the seventh floor Our world divided into pieces of stone Keep on trying to collect them one by one This was mine this was yours This was nice and this was false It’s a long way if you want to get to Rome Looking to find you on the seventh floor I am in the river and going to the springs But I still stay dry under my skin Take care of your wishes scattered to the wind Man, don’t be screaming on the edge of the cliff We are living in the past made of words Looking to find you on the seventh floor

Diary of the Shadow
by Thee Holy Strangers

We've waited a long time for Thee Holy Strangers' second album! But yes, it was worth the wait, the band delivered a sophomore made of gold. Rocky, dusty gold, mind you, crude yet pure and beautiful! This is an indie-rock anthem with the distinguish americana style that the band established from the debut. It seems to have a conceptual flow and works really like a time-stopping spell. Great job, it's such a pleasure to hear THS music once again! BoneWalker
