lyrics

Broken backs bending to the ground
We're merely mimics of the trees around
Dry and arid, squalid as these red sands
Just fading corpses into the barren land

In the dead of the night I remember her
A perpetual grey inside my head
We traded our bodies for those walls
We sold our dreams before they were born

Sick and tired of the ways on this addled place
We signed our pact with the Land's rebirth
All about work and blood, that's true
But labor is the only thing we ever knew

In the dead of the night I remember her
A perpetual grey inside my head
We traded our bodies for those walls
We sold our dreams before they're born
To build a temple where we are outcasts
To know the heart of human trash
We knelled before the kings of men
We sold our very souls to them

For whoever loves this town is already dead
A ghost inside or maybe dying, fallen on her cold bed
The artificial lights pouring languor upon the listless asphalt
In the end, this will be our funeral vault

(In this nonchalant city / In this graveyard in the form of buildings)

“A data de hoje tornou-se duplamente histórica para o Brasil porque a gloriosa evocação do passado junta-se agora à epopeia da construção desta nova capital que acabamos de inaugurar. Saudamos assim a um só tempo, o passado e o futuro de nossa pátria, através de dois acontecimentos que se ligam no ideal comum que os animaram: o de fazer o Brasil afirmar-se como nação independente. O sonho dos inconfidentes de 1799, tem nessa realização de1960 a sua etapa derradeira, pois agora encontra o Brasil o seu verdadeiro destino e poderá caminhar mais solidamente para a completa emancipação”

- Juscelino Kubitschek (Brasília, 1960)

The Waning Moon
by The Waning Moon

supported by 23 fans who also own “The Coffin City”

This is the kind of gothic rock I absolutely love. Oldschool, guitar-heavy music in the vein of Love Like Blood. I'm really hoping for a full-length LP. WotanAK

It's so hard to pick just one favourite track. The whole album is just so magical, so special! It's like a warm shroud of enveloping, nourishing darkness. Onyx Tomb

Casa Luna

supported by 19 fans who also own “The Coffin City”

Casa Luna is so dreamy and feels like entering a different world... I had gotten into Lycia's older stuff first, so when I discovered that they had new releases that were just as beautiful, I was so happy, it just gets better :-) strawberryspacecraft
