lyrics

THE MIRROR

I hear old souls breathe
Up on the hill by the old pine trees
Plant your flags upside down
Where the nameless haunt the ground
They hold the mirror
They hold the mirror

Unheard spirits call
Where empires wait to fall
We’re stuck on that page
Where nations come of age
And face the mirror
And face the mirror

Old souls on the rise
Old country children hide
Far from home and dirt poor,
Warriors die on frozen floors
Then haunt the mirror
Then haunt the mirror

Suburbs crawl where rivers once ran
A nation’s sins live on streets across the land
Our lost romance
As warriors sweat and dance
And break the mirror
And we crack...

No country right or wrong
Clear your conscience in a protest song
Plant your flags upside down
Where a stolen child’s ghost haunts the ground

HAAZ - "ANDRA"

This was something a little different that kinda reminded me of Homme-esque things at times EODM, Desert Sessions and TCV. A trip to somewhere new. Doom King

Happy to Be Here.

supported by 5 fans who also own “THE MIRROR”

Absolutely love this album. I really like the keys, the horns, the grooves and tone that sets this album apart from being just another rock album. It has both power and an atmosphere to make it something even more special to me. some of the lyrics hit close to home as well. The performances are great, and the mix of it all has a certain tone throughout. Anyways, brilliant stuff! Lion Trail

A really decent album with stoner, grunge and noisy rockiness which has beautiful undertones to it. Darknight

The London indie group's debut "mini-album" is filled with self-described oddball pop tracks. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 27, 2023
