Soaring Above
04:35
|

Triumphant the morning sun shatters the night
The slumbering earth shall welcome the light
The shores of my homeland will whisper their chant
As waves fall eternally on the hot sand.
My hands spread like wings as I run to the sky
The mountains now beckon to meet them up high
Their summits ablaze with the Sun's early pride
This distant land was my radiant bride.
Her evergreen valleys beam beauty untamed
From high up above, one can't see her chains
Glistening feathers now cover my hand
and Soaring Above I reconquer my land.
No thunder, no lightning will stifle my mind
No cold-hearted tyrant can keep me confined
My anvil the valleys, my hammer the storm
I crown you with Pindus, my queen stellarborn.
Her evergreen valleys beam beauty untamed
From high up above, one can't see her chains
Glistening feathers now cover my hand
and Soaring Above I reconquer my land.
Oh mother Earth and father Sun
Bless the anthem of your mortal son
I hear your whisper through swaying leaves
Show me the path to Elysian Fields
Oh dearest land and fairest of all
Know your son will one day break his thrall
I heed your calling, a thorn in my heart
Someday I'll land and no more shall we part
Her evergreen valleys beam beauty untamed
From high up above, one can't see her chains
Glistening feathers now cover my hand
and Soaring Above I reconquer my land.

Your Faceless Beauty
06:22
|
|||
Your deathly grace of endless night
Your wicked beauty of unearthly light
Your spectral charm from outer space
Your coming spells the end of human race
Faceless one, heed our call
Faceless one, Man must fall
Unleash the horror of your might
Unmask the faceless one with bleak delight
The mists of Time are swirling fast
And in this anthem what was first is last.
Cleanse by fire, the eternal flames burn higher,
A crimson giant emerges, and the face of earth he purges
He will summon winds to motion, to evaporate the oceans
And alone the Sphinx stands guard, to an earth by fire marred
Cosmic silence is Man’s dirge, until new life will emerge
And its conscience will awaken, on a planet all forsaken
It will hail the newborn Sun, and the race will be rerun
Countless infants, just one breath, ‘till the Cosmos’ thermal death.
Man must fall.

For countless moons my father walked this virgin land
Teeth of spotted beasts rattling on his chest
Our fearless clan would hunt and tread the path of life
Pride and free, before the coming of the pest.
Then came the outlanders with the narrow heads
Claimed our valley being rightfully their own
Along with them, the winter rode, colder than before
Freezing rivers and our children to the bone.
And with greed in their eyes
They dragged away our sons and wives
Hatred burns inside them unexplained
And with greed in their eyes
They took away our very lives
Nature will avenge us in the end
Rocks and stones and cracking bones until the dusk
As we fiercely defend our treasured kin
So strange are the invaders, they retreat and charge again
But so similar the animal within.
If my skull is shattered by a foreign axe
If I embrace the mud, victim to this war
My final breath will wreak a curse upon their horrid kind
They must die by their voracity for more.
And with greed in their eyes
They dragged away our sons and wives
Hatred burns inside them unexplained
And with greed in their eyes
They took away our very lives
Nature will avenge us in the end
And with death in their eyes
Their laughter drowns our dying cries
Even newborn infants were not spared
And with fire in their eyes
They slaughtered all the old and wise
Nature will destroy you in the end.

Dreams Down Deep
05:53
|
|||
A white sky adorned with dark rising stars
A sonorous prayer from Yuggoth to Mars
Entangled in visions of mystical past
Unspeakable secrets of pain unsurpassed
Our gaze is all empty, the hands point up high
As if we surrender to the seas’ lullaby
Slowly descending to fathomless depths
Cyclopean towers will welcome our deaths
Drown – Dreaming Dreams down Deep
Drown – Haunting Dreams down Deep
Our deep-dwelling brethren embrace us with glee
Revived in the seabed and now we can see
Our lungs burst with water, the gills tear the skin
The sea-gods emerging and all from within
Drown – Dreaming Dreams down Deep
Drown – Haunting Dreams down Deep
Drown – Ancient Dreams down Deep
Drown – Haunting Dreams down Deep
Eyes glowing from way down deep
Strange shadows from way down deep
Forgoing away down deep – Ia! Dagon!
Life flowing away down deep – Ia! Dagon!
Ia! Dagon! Ia! Ia!
Ia! Dagon! Ia! Ia!

Hands As Wings Athens, Greece
Epic/Doom/Folk metal from Greece.
Founded in 2015. It occurred to us like a flash of lightning: composing, recording and playing with Hands As Wings is by far better than just working and waiting for pension, and ultimately, death.
