fabiosdw This album is very special, not only because it's the debut of an amazing band with unforgettable live performances, but also for embodying everything Hard Rock was meant to become after the 90s and wasn't able to...

Listening to these songs, so well orchestrated, so tasteful and well crafted, brings you back to an era of music most love and cherish...

The Sun In The Tenth House is the debut album most bands would dream of having... Favorite track: Red Rover (Song Nr.1).

Nine Lives to Waste Ten thousand times I walked the line From the edge of misery No end in sight, just compromise The answer’s still a mystery Wherever I go, no matter how far You’re there to twist my course Some call you Fate or synchronicity The Weaver of Time I’ll say I’m ready When I call you by your name On through the thick and thin I’ll plow my way back I’ll say I’m through When the Sun is cold as ice You’ll never have your way I’ve nine lives to waste A pointless run to throw it all away Down by the riverside I’ll beat the odds and even the scores I’ll rise and soar the skies One more chance to see it through One more run to the Holy heights Sing for the world to shiver And dance to shatter the ground

All We Are 04:42
All We Are Once they came for the outcasts For the ones that were lost and grim There was a feeling of hysteria People felt so unsure Then for the first time I knew Deeds of evil hide in plain sight And I feel my turn is drawing near Will you stand by my side? Wake up, it’s time Let them know you cannot be tamed For every inch of your dreams cut out of your soul A thousand are reborn All we are From the cradle to the grave All we’ll ever gonna be It’s a gift we cannot waste All we are Since our Mother brought us to this land We are free in our soul; our mind is our own Until the day we die Then they came for my Father He was the one that didn’t back down They took him out to no man’s land And silence never been so loud I know it now, clear as the sky My time is long overdue Will you see me and give me your hand? To be by my side in the end
3.
Rise Above The Storm I don’t wanna have to look at you Through the lens of a camera I don´t really enjoy to hear Your voice through a speaker phone I’m sick and tired of scrolling Through all the channels on TV Feeling empty every single day A hollow shell without a soul When we’ve lost all our hopes and dreams? When we’ve sold away our deepest desires? Walk away, please just open your eyes And rise above the storm Do you ever raise your eyes? Do you ever look at the sky? All your life is passing by And all the world is left behind When we’ve lost all our hopes and dreams? When we’ve sold away our deepest desires? Walk away, please just open your eyes Don’t be dead and so empty inside And rise above the storm

Revolution Blues Pray for the morning light To lift up my soul Crave for the long walk That leads back home Still my restless heart That burns in my chest Bend the space and time And put me to rest Blame it on me I’ll take it all I cry to the seven skies You’ll never silence my voice I’ll die before you bend my will No one will take it away Down this avenue Of pain and deceit I will vindicate And vanquish my foes Lies and iniquity Don’t hurt me no more I’m tied to my resolve Like never before Look in my eyes I have nothing to fear My pleading is over Open the gates I’m here to let light shine through
5.
I’ll Go All The Way I saw you in the dark Afraid and lonely With tears in your eyes With no salvation No one to give you closure No one to hear your cries So deep the loneliness When the soul dies You’re down and out now With nothing left to fight for Your skin is bare to the bone Naked for all to see When it seems there’s no way out I’ll go all the way Just to give you my hand I’ll pass through the fire To make our final stand To be by your side Through the barren wasteland I’ll go all the way There was a time when all you want was to be free To be a beacon of autonomy and liberty Treading the road and walking down the way Living those days as if they were our last We can have it all back… Just hear the sound of my voice Let it wash from your heart all your sorrows The sun will rise once more CHORUS I’ll go all the way Just to give you my hand I’ll pass through the fire To make my final stand All our lives, all our dreams All the things worth fighting for You can believe 2x I’ll go all the way

City Of Lights Walking down that boulevard Heading straight to the river shore Streams of memories flow entwined With the waters of beloved Seine The Bateaux Mouche passing by Brings back tales of a time long gone My own reflection on the river bed Greets me back home once again City of Lights, shine on me now Let me be yours for a single day City of Lights, listen to my vow I’m so vagrant here as I am away Left my heart in Saint-Lazare And travelled to the setting sun A land I felt as mine But a stranger, I am to this day I feel afraid and alone My home is not here or anywhere I’m always an uninvited guest A misfit, an immigrant, I feel oppressed City of Lights, make me reveal For once let me be your lover and child City of Lights, hear my appeal For as long as I live, I’m forever exiled Dark night, ravens in flight Long days, barren and grey Street lights, one hundred fights The path to redemption is still out of sight But I still try, hard as I might To unveil myself as true light

Battle Horse 04:25
Battle Horse Never tired, never scared to walk the line Never stiff, never want to look back Never ending, never mind I’m heading for the sun Contradiction, overthink and overload Realizing I will never break free But I’ll never stray away I’m ready for the fray Step down I’m here to set the record straight Right now I’ll never be afraid again This time I’ll be the one who says What is in or what is out, I don’t care anyway I steer the wheel, I set the course I’ll ride through life like a battle horse All the stones along the road All the fences and pits to trip me off I waver but I never fall I carry on with a grin on my face Sick of all your schemes and hypocrisy Your devious ways make me wanna spew You’ll never have my trust I’m standing on my own Chorus I hear the bells of Jericho Playing their mourning song I’m through the walls and out the gates My way can’t go wrong This time I’ll be the one who says What is in or what is out, I don’t care anyway I steer the wheel, I set the pace I’m not afraid to fall from grace Chorus

Back In The Bayou Cold rain running down the edge of the roof tiles to the ground No soul in sight, no motion, from the night comes not a sound I’m lonely and I’m broken by the phantoms in my mind I feel guilty for the chances that I had and left behind Cold rain running down my face Drowning away my fantasies Bitter wind cutting through my bones I’m all alone, bursting at the seams I’m back in the hole I got to get away Black veils spread through the night with no hint of falling back The howling of the wolves is the voice of my regret All the shots I missed, from afar or by a hair All coming back to haunt me and spear me like a bayonet No tears running down my face I’m drained and bare of sorrow and fear The sky above is heavy and grim But I’ll succeed, I’m still alive I’m back in the hole From where I clawed myself I’m slipping in the sludge I got to get away Even the darkest night gives way to a shining morning From the mud of the flood new seeds shall sprout Cold rain waters my resolve And the wind will blow my sails away This time I won’t be tangled I’ll soar the skies like a bird of prey I’m out of the hole Never to be back again I’m free of the sludge Unburden and clear

So Good 04:30
So Good Maybe our life is just a thread In the pattern of existence Woven and entwined together With so many others we ignore Do we choose where we linger Or we move to another end Does it matter what we say Or it’s better silent and still You set your goals and make your plans Is the rudder set to where you think? Will the wind and tide take you there? Are you really the wheelman? Will you fail or overcome Will you thrive or fade away Be yourself or someone else Does it matter anyway? Slowly passing through our life Is there a reason for it all? Is it beside oneself? It was so good to realize A year will pass or is it a week? Forever or only a day A sudden moment or infinity Flashing through your eyes Golden gates and silver lines All will burn and fade away From the dust of our beliefs The seed of Fate is born Slowly passing through our life Is there a reason for it all? Is it beside oneself? It was so good to realize

Red Rover (Song Nr.1) Say you remember The high Summer Sun Running down the stairs With purpose and joy Role playing games And making up rhymes Of witches and Queens Larger than life And I treasure the days When we were wild and free The troubles of life Were still yet to be And we’ve rolled with the punches With a grin and a jest Making our way And wishing the best A call from outside And you were ready to go No matter the reason Or the hour of the day Together we’ve ruled Kingdoms and worlds We’ve fought and we’ve loved Like heroes and fools I look for the child inside me I know I’ll forever need to be United with life and love Making dreams come true
