lyrics

Oh black bells ringing down
hollow tones over hallowed ground
mercury rises without a sound
the poisoned mother defends her crown
ease up, ease up, ease up child
the nightwalkers neither meek nor mild
your mother carries a heavy weight
walking through snow up to her waist
chin up, chin up, chin up child
the night is heavy to release the wild
my eyes are blackened from sleepless nights
the sun is setting but i need the light
it wasn't til' i woke up that i fell asleep
nightwalkers at rest and i am put to ease
popping pills ain't counting sheep
cutting the chains to my own release
oh i'm at ease, i'm at ease

Fantastic album from front to back! Incredibly catchy, fuzzy riffs, great songwriting and powerful lyricism. A classic of modern heavy psych / stoner music! Brett

I love this album. Wonderful rolling thrums of sound, beautiful bass and chest-humming vibrations of music. Good music to live to. ~

The surprisingly comical new video from roaring metal group Red Fang is a tip of the hat to the original “Predator.” Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 12, 2016

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. frankwurst
