MorKroM this beautiful little album reminds me of old Skyclad combined with some epic Bathory influences ... i love this !!!! ...the lyrics are pure misanthropic poetry and some lovecraftian lore on Dreams Down Deep ...delivered by one of the most natural sounding vocals i`ve heard since a long time ! ... fantastic stuff !!!!! 🤘😎🤘 Favorite track: Your Faceless Beauty.

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 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.

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!

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.
