lyrics

it was a warm wet night
the moon came up behind the hill yellowish,
had the shape of the dagger I bought long ago in Cairo
the air was thick, everything was still and silent
and then a whisper that became louder as the moon climbed all the way up at the top of the sky
a whisper or maybe a hum or a moan that chilled my spine and froze my heart

there is a wind calling my name
and I think i am insane
I am riding this race straight to hell

and the moon is so bright
it is burning me inside
oh the moon wears a face on its face

I thought it was a soft breeze
passing trough the needles of the pine trees that stood solemnly at the side of the hill
but as the whisper got more intense I remembered a voice coming from the past, speaking softly caressing my ears it became sweet and sour and then bitter
and suddenly
the whisper stopped
it stopped with a yell

there is a wind calling my name
and I think i am insane
I am riding this race straight to hell

and the moon is so bright
it is burning me inside
oh the moon wears a face on its face

Well, I liked your lo-fi period pretty much, but this one rocks even more. Indie with a good shot of psychedelic and always this characteristic, driving, sometimes pushing guitar. Thank god the doors wasn't the last band that could play the psychedelic strut. See you in Freaktown. Charon66

One of my favorite albums. It was my companion gliding down the greek highway last year. It gave me an intense greek experience far from the zorbas bouzouki cliche Charon66
