lyrics

IT’S BY A PALE LIGHT NOW THAT I SEE YOU
IT’S BY A LONG FIELD THAT I WALK
IT’S A SLOW DRIP DOWN FROM A WELL
FILLED WITH THOUGHTS
LIKE DANGEROUS TIMES IS FORCED INTO A GLASS
I HAVE A HYENA SLEEPING IN MY LAP
AND IT’S BY THIS PALE LIGHT NOW
THAT I SEE YOU MY LONG LOST YOUTH

IT’S BY A PALE LIGHT NOW THAT I SEE YOU
IT’S BEEN SLOW DRIP DOWN TO A WELL
FILLED WITH THORNES
WAKE UP WAKE UP MY ONLY FRIEND
WAKE UP AND RAISE YOURSELF IN UNDILUTED ANGER
LIKE DANGEROUS TIMES ΙS FORCED INTO A GLASS
IT’S BY A PALE LIGHT NOW THAT WE MEET

riza

As a Frenchman, I discovered VIC very late (2019-2020). I fell in love with Age Of Aquarius. Well, I have to say: I love Riza even more. If you love Greece (I've been there 4 times), you'll love VIC: a rock marked by traditional Greek music and instruments. Slasher ✨
