about

'The Black & The Whole' is our brand new EP, written and recorded live in Vienna, on 26th of April 2015.

lyrics

Confined, there is no space
Through holes in the plank
To watch them raise fences
Whilst the ship sank
The sea has been rough now
For more than one night
But maintains the blood flow
Keeps feeding the fight

There is a fortune to be made
Encouraged by greed
To look down on the famished
And people in need
To abandon all trust
In the hope to succeed
Leaves the ink to dry
On yet another terrible deed

Yet under the waves,
The ways we weigh the world begin to fail,
The loss of your breath, lifts the veil,
Come back to the air,
Pressure's lifted from your chest you're stripped to bare,
Now do you care, we'll meet you there

Come find me displaced,
With hell on both sides
From peril to peril
To build a new life
Drowned in the voices
On the edge of a knife
With those who could help us
Adrift in the strife

Home is now so, so, so far away
Where will we be going
Will we find a way
Searching for safety
And a place to belong
A thousand lost people
An ordeal so wrong

Back to the air take us
How do you dare forsake us
We paid the fare take us
Back to the air

Name tags empty,
Meek,mast,history,
Keepers of plenty,
Moats and mystery,
Give us something for our suffering
Lead us back to the air
