Kingdom of Fear Pt.1
06:39
|

|
I am king in a kingdom of fear
I am king in a kingdom of fear
I hide my light in the shadow
so no one comes near
a dog that bites is a dog that fears
a dog that bites is a dog that fears
and if he dies alone at night
who will shed a single tear?
come on babe
come on be my queen
come on babe
come on rule with me

Playing War
09:49

how do you know that you’re awake
if you never dare
to pick a hole
into the everyday – into the everyday
and how do you know that you’re alive
if all the words
that build your mind
are bricks before your eyes - your naked eyes
how do you know that you‘re in chains
if you never try
try to step out
and leave the cage - leave the cage
and why
can‘t you see
why can’t you see
we’re playin‘ war with no enemy

Who Am I?

|
where would I go, who would I be
where would I go If I were free
and all ‘em boundaries
were just a dream
where would I go, who would I be
where would I go If I were free
and all ‘em boundaries
were just a dream
we built our own prison cell
create our own little hell
we kill ‘n’ kill ‘n’ kill our time
while in my dreams I’m free to fly
tell me who am I
who am I
tell me who am I
who am I

oh pale shadow of a man
tryin’ his best to get his share
boy don’t you understand
you’re goin’ down down down down down
a one way tram
oh pale shadow of a man
come on tell me once again
just try ‘n’ make me understand
how great great great it is
what you have or can
oh pale shadow of a man
tryin’ a impress the best he can
boy don’t you understand
all you need need need has always been
in your hand
in your hand
in your hand
in your hand

Kingdom of Fear Pt.2
03:05
|
|||
|
I am king in a kingdom of fear
I am king in a kingdom of fear
I hide my light in the shadow
so no one comes near
no one can see me if I don’t wanna be seen
no, no one can see me if I don’t wanna be seen
I’m just a stranger passing by
where no one knows where I’ve been
I am king – would you be my queen?
yeah I am king – won’t you be my queen?
won't you rule rule rule
rule out my fear with me?

Feed on Me
09:25
|

|
I got a world in my window
it’s shiny ‘n’ new
keeps me spinnin’ like a windrose
traps my eyes like glue
so c’mon feed on me
oh baby feed on me
eat me – to my gut and bone
milk me – till there’s skin alone
feed me but keep me hungry
feed me but keep me hungry
and take what you need - off me
take what you need - off me
there’s a man in my window
wanna sell me his dreams
wants me driftin’ where the wind blows
triyin’ to keep me hungry
so c’mon feed on me
oh baby feed on me
eat me – to my gut and bone
milk me – till there’s skin alone
feed me but keep me hungry
feed me but keep me hungry
and take what you need - off me
take what you need - off me
I got a world in my window
still it’s shiny ‘n’ new
the wheel keeps spinnin’ like a windrose
this time it might be you

When Gods Were Man
09:10

when gods were man
our mother was saint as was the land
when gods were man
like clay I lay in her hand
when gods were man
when gods were man
when gods were man
I was a fool but a hunter in her night
the stones as tools, a levin brought light
when gods were man
we labored long to build a heaven
a heaven we could lift up high
but now the space that we create
is filled with a pain that isn‘t mine
when gods were man
you and I lived in a silence
an asylum of a mountain’s height
and there was nothin’, really
not a thing we had to fight
when gods were man
our mother was saint as was the land
When gods were man
like clay I lay in her hand
when gods were man – I was one and one of them
when gods were man – I was one and one of them
when gods were man – I was one and one of them
when gods were man – I was one and one of them

Wild Woman

|
I love my babe, love her when she's wild
I love my babe, love her for she's wild
with her fierce and playful mind
I’m with her in the depth of her night
I love my babe, love her when she's wild
I love my babe, love her for she's wild
in a ray of pale moonlight
you can see her and her wolf-like smile
so come on take me, make me stray the trail of light
come on take me, take me down your old path of night
wild woman take me, make me find my own wild inside
I love my babe, love her when she's wild
I love my babe, love her for she's wild
with your fierce and playful mind
wild woman take me - on our soul-ward ride

Lingering Thoughts
12:38
|
|||
|
I hear ‘em thoughts howl babe, like a wolf pack in my brain
I hear ‘em thoughts howl babe, howling all throughout my brain
they keep on rushin’ by my ears
like blood rushin’ through my veines
anywhere I go babe, any place I try try to flee
anywhere I go - my thoughts keep followin’, followin’ me
any distant goal I reach, any need I try to please
they will be there, waitin’ for me
and when I’m lyin’ late at night, tryin’ to get some sleep
yeah I’m lyin’ late at night – my thought keep raisin’ hell with me
even though I try to breathe
they just won’t, they just won’ let me be
won’t let me be free
and when I try to kill my time – what shuts my head ain’ never enough
oh when I try to kill my time – what helps me forget ain’ never enough
whether it’s whiskey or your love
all that starts can never last
can never last
Oh river – oldest friend
Oh river – come take me in
Oh river – oldest friend
Oh river – come take me in
help me part the true, the true and the fraud
Oh mother – let me in
Oh mother – where have I been
Oh mother – let me in
Oh mother – where have I been
help me get past my lingerin’, lingerin’ thoughts

Samsara Joyride Vienna, Austria
What started at the beginning of 2020 with spontaneous jam sessions in a Viennese living room led within a few months into the locally produced “Stranger” EP. And those kindred spirits who soon agreed on the band name SAMSARA JOYRIDE continued to relish their melange between heavy-blooded seventies blues rock and the bone-dry psychedelic sounds of the 1990s. ... more

To be honest, the vocals are a but hit or miss for me but the heavy blues on display here - the modern offspring of Double Trouble, Cream, and The Jimi Hendrix Experience - is truly excellent. Any fan of blues licks and rock ‘n roll will find a lot to love here.

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this.
