Awakening
03:31
|

Toxic rain, Illuminating skies.
Forgive us for our sins. Paralyzing lights.
Vanishing lands, failure of conquests.
Oh, such heavy hearts, claimed what we thought was ours.
One for us all, pay for the sins.
It gathered here, a tremendous force
and at the break of dawn, behold the rising sun.
And as all turns to dust no one will mourn.
The rampage of man, not ever again.
One for us all, pay for the sins.
Maybe this is a lucid dream
where nothing is what it seems.
Believing is dreaming yet we lived in a lie.
Death by defeat, cursed by denial,
why are we here, why have you left us astray?

Dark side of the Cross
04:04
|

We who bear the Devil's mark hide in the shelter of dark.
Afterlife awaits the condemned. Souls who were shall be again.
Thirteen now one, we' ll meet at the dark side of the cross.
The hour has come.
Thirteen now one, we´ll meet at the dark side of the cross.
The hour has come.
Daughter of the sun, oh, too fain, on the pyre praying for rain.
Close your eyes and bide your farewell.
Wake up in the bowels of hell.
Thirteen now one, we'll meet at the dark side of the cross.
The hour has come.
Toads and bats, serpents and rats, dancing in the fire.
Pagan nights, nocturnal rites, slaves to our desires.
Thirteen now one, we' ll meet at the dark side of the cross.
The hour has come.
Thirteen now one, we´ll meet at the dark side of the cross.
The hour has come.

The Wizard's Ball
05:36
|
|||
I 'm leaving here, I 'm breaking free from the shores of sanity.
Magic wind blow me away, blow my mournful mind astray.
Needle traveler in the skies see the world through different eyes.
Dive into the eternal void, a freak in a freak world looking for joy.
People think and people say I ve always been a cast away.
Setting sails in cosmic breeze across imaginary seas
to another world just for rent another time already spent.
I stare into the wizard's ball and I see a life worth dying for.
In my veins the universe
seems to move in reverse.
Behind closed eyes somehow I see the dawn of time, infinity.
Gaze into the endless black to find the past and take it back.
Now I roam eternal night, lost in search of second sight.
Elastic mind about to burst and touch the sky that spawned my curse.
Trapped inside the crystal ball sealed away far from the shore.
In my veins the universe
seems to move in reverse
Behind closed eyes all I see, nightmares become reality.
Down the hall I hear them call.
Friends I betrayed, debts unrepaid.
The wizard 's ball, the wizard 's ball.
The promise you gave lost in the oceans grave.

Danse Macabre
04:18
|
|||
Actors of the mournful life charade and all of the madness you portray.
Your masquerade will come to an end. Soon the final curtain will descend.
Kings and Queens, murderers and thieves. Drop the act, and fall into ease.
Come rest in peace.
Join my dark realm in a night parade.
Danse Macabre, twist and turn in our graves.
In flames of red and gold we leap into.
Faces pale and white and lips of blue.
Dead and swingin on the gallows pole.
Dancing though we have grown too old, stiff and cold.
Join my dark realm in a night parade.
Danse Macabre, twist and turn in our graves.
Restless in a casket underground.
Clap and turn the other way around.
Roll the dice, a lottery, and tread the stage of misery.
We all await impending doom, owners of a future tomb.
Rising sun or fading star, you can't resist the reaper's call.
Progeny of wolf or sheep, we all unite in our final sleep.
Our savior reaching out a hand. A serenade in black for all ye damned.
A graveyard jam.

Labyrinth of the Mind
05:42
|
|||
Grow up and die in a blink of an eye as a mayfly.
The sooner we learn that the hours take turn to escape.
So we
'
re begging for more but we don't know what for when we have it all.
Life is brief and time is a thief so hard to please.
Throw our lives away every second awake.
Way down inside I know I got to go.
What lies beyond this world I
'
m dying to know.
And did you swim in the mainstream,
laugh and pretend?
Drowning in it
'
s boredom as the years come to their end.
Glitter and haze, lost in a maze of illusions.
Forgotten is all that I can recall of the truth.
A world unaware and I ought to be there but I
'
m elsewhere.
Trapped in my mind at the end of the line and beyond.
Throw our lives away every second awake.
Way down inside I know I got to go.
What lies beyond this world I
'
m dying to know.
And did you swim in the mainstream,
laugh and pretend?
Drowning in it
'
s boredom as the years come to their end.
There
'
s more inside than meets the eye.
come to see what no eyes have seen.
Open doors where there were only walls
and step inside my embryonic dream.
I run and I run under the exploding sun.
I run and I run to end up were i begun.
Riding electric skies through the vortex of envious eyes,
leaving the world behind, through the labyrinth of my mind.

Shattered Hopes
03:18
|
|||
Take another step onto the never ending stairs.
Scanning the horizon with a razor smile and a thousand mile stare.
Standing on a diamond mountain.
God of light you shine like the sun.
But the path you`re on is dangerous.
You can 't be sure if tomorrow will come.
Your hands are shaking.
Trembling steps on a newly born sky.
The quest is in your veins.
Asleep from day you learn how to fly.
Shivers down your spine.
Climb beyond the monsterous wall.
Tomorrow never waits.
Collect your thoughts you might need them all.
Take another breath.
Waiting for the sun to rise.
Still searching for the distant horizon.
Watching the world with restless eyes.
If you lose dont lose the lesson.
The night is young but you 're tired and old.
You're losing all your friends.
The winds of change are blowing cold.
The night is young but you 're tired and old.
The winds of change are blowing cold.
Searching for something that canVt be found.
Now it 's too late to turn around.
You 've bent the earths rotation.
Your mind is going it`s going down.
Starlight eyes fading in tears,
surrounded by a million years.
A lonely chair, a lonely rope.
Get in the line of shattered hopes.

Searching for heaven, finding hell,
since we stole your dreams out of the wishing well.
Searching for answers, obsession of your mind.
Dive into your doubts and you will find
that left is right and right is left behind.
All that you 've seen soon to be gone.
All that you believed in proven to be wrong.
Seeking the truth in a book of lies.
Gaze at the dawn through twilight eyes.
Nocturnal voices from another sky
giving away all the lies you buy.
All that you 've seen soon to be gone.
All that you believed in proven to be wrong.
Have you ever seen yourself through the eyes of somebody else?
We are and will always be united in trinity.
Oh, don't you know, above as so below.
The path you're looking for leads back to your own door.
A brief time alive for eternity dead.
All the words we speak a thousand left unsaid.
And you cant forget what you can't forgive.
Waiting for a life that you forgot to live.

The Prisoner
06:02
|
|||
In a world of unknown pleasures, of agony and pain.
Desires that i've never known have come to be my strain.
Stuck in ceaseless hunger for blood and anguished cries.
In a scent of woe tangled up, entranced and mesmerized.
Maliciously I gallivant throughout the fog of tears.
Seeking out and suppress the chanting and the cheers.
Dystopic in my nature, blithe about ill repute.
Spiteful eyes prowl the alleys searching for dispute.
Apostle of disobedience, violence and war.
Downfall and destruction nothing pleases me more.
Is there a fire in my head or is the world standing in flames?
Through eyes of blue I see red. Looking for someone to blame.
In this cage of torment they call society
I'v been beaten and deprived of my humanity.
Down the banks of labour we sacrificed our dreams.
Bound, but not eternally, working their machines.
At night I dream of fire, riot and mutiny.
Release the armageddon. Chaos, set me free.
Is there a fire in my head or is the world standing in flames?
Through eyes of blue I see red. Looking for someone to blame.
Death is the solution. Our lives the only fee.
Prisoner of hatred, never to be free.
Eternal slavery.
Eternal slavery.
Eternal slavery.

Spiral Skies Stockholm, Sweden
Stockholm based SPIRAL SKIES is an orchestra who plays what can most easily be described as "On other planets kinda Rock". Fronted by the charismatic singer Frida whose voice has been compared to Grace Slick and Kate Bush, Spiral Skies´s sound is a fine blend between 70’s psychedelic rock and 80's heavy metal, with lots of spices of doom, folk and fuzz all mixed in a whirly brew. ... more
