Spiral Skies - The Prisoner

Follow us:

This song is taken from their upcoming album "Blues for a Dying Planet" to be released on May 18th, 2018.

We're honoured that swedish 70s rock music quintet Spiral Skies join forces with AOP Records

With influences ranging over decades, Spiral Skies has created a sound that can most easily be described as “On other planets kinda Rock”.
An unique blend of folk, doom and 70s rock music. The band has been compared to band such as Jefferson Airplane, Curved Air and The Devil's Blood, to name a few.

The band has spellbound their audience with their unique visual performance with intense and enchanting live shows, and their earlier releases EP “A Queendom to Come” gained a lot of attention on Bandcamp, resulting in the following single “Event Horizon”.

"An orchestra from the labyrinth of your mind, the sound of light years passing by, the sound of the ride of Spiral Skies"

Lyrics:
In a world of unknown pleasures, of agony and pain.
Desires that i've never known have come to be my strain.
Stuck in ceaseless hunger for blood and anguished cries.
In a scent of woe tangled up, entranced and mesmerized.

Maliciously I gallivant throughout the fog of tears.
Seeking out and suppress the chanting and the cheers.
Dystopic in my nature, blithe about ill repute.
Spiteful eyes prowl the alleys searching for dispute.

Apostle of disobedience, violence and war.
Downfall and destruction nothing pleases me more.
Is there a fire in my head or is the world standing in flames?
Through eyes of blue I see red. Looking for someone to blame.

In this cage of torment they call society
I'v been beaten and deprived of my humanity.
Down the banks of labour we sacrificed our dreams.
Bound, but not eternally, working their machines.

At night I dream of fire, riot and mutiny.
Release the armageddon. Chaos, set me free.
Is there a fire in my head or is the world standing in flames?
Through eyes of blue I see red. Looking for someone to blame.

Death is the solution. Our lives the only fee.
Prisoner of hatred, never to be free.
Eternal slavery.
Eternal slavery.
Eternal slavery.
