I went down to the river
To wash my hands
The water so cold and clear
It seams to mend
The woods are surrounding me
dresses me in dark
And the air pollen yellow dyed
In the far I can hear a singin' lark
And I know it was you
I realised it was you
The rippling of the river
And the rustle of the leafs
Telling me about your curing hands
Which takes all of my grief
Yes I know it was you
Every stone, stalk and tree
I‘m melting into your water
While the flow takes on me
You are the trees
You are the river to me
Only you can make me breathe
Only you can make me See
You are the leafs
You are the river to me
Only you can ease my grief
While I give myself into your soil

Canyon

My legs are carrying me
Through the canyon
Everything is made
Of glass and concrete
Oh, aha
The first sunbeam is my companion
Yeah, it seems that the walls just bleed
But I‘m still wondering
Cause I don’t know
What is driving me
My hands are crossing
The straight lines
Cause them curl and break
Oh, aha
And I feel like I’m a sleepwalker
Who never should be awakened
Yes I’m still wondering
Cause I don’t really know
What is driving me
But it seems to be a ghost
And I‘m asking for you
Good god of the forest
Of the forest
Could you bring me home?
Bring me home
Good god of the forest
Of the forest
Lead me to where I’ve been born
Yes I’m so close to the border
And the carpet of dust turns to green
Oh, aha
I’m caged in this canyon
And I finally understand
What that means
No, I’m not wondering
Cause I do really know
What is driving me
It has to be a ghost
And I am asking for you
Good god of the forest
Of the forest
Could you bring me home?
Good god of the forest
Of the forest
Lead me to where I’ve been born
Where I‘ve been born?

I‘m about to kill somebody
If you don‘t let me out
Don‘t let me out!
I‘m about to kill someone
If you don‘t let me out
Don‘t let me out!
I‘m a three legged dog
Roaming thourgh your streets
Digging in your garbage
To take what I need
What I need
I got no use for petting
Even chains couldn‘t tame
I rather be your filthy guest
Like a nasty stain
Like a stain
I‘m about to kill somebody
If you don‘t let me out
Don‘t let me out!
I‘m about to kill someone
If you don‘t loose my chains!
I‘m a three legged dog
An ugly scar in town
If our ways will cross
It will bring you down
Bring you down
You don‘t ask for me
Or the riot that i seed
Needle could be your only chance
Wolf becomes a sheep
I‘m a sheep!
I‘m about to killsomebody
If you don‘t let me out
Don‘t let me out!
I‘m about to killsomeone
If you don‘t loose my chains!
If you don‘t ever loose my chains!

Sleep Valley

Plants are awakening
From their long sleep
A voice is rising
And it's calling me into the distance
I’ve been away to long
That I forgot where I’m bound
I’ve been way to blind
That I haven‘t seen your little signs
I’ve left my horse to die
In a cold desert night
I don’t know why I’m still on the run
Or why I should fight
Yes, I’m so tired
That I could not sleep
And, I’m so hungry
That I could not eat
Cause death is my alley
I’m on the ride
Sleep Valley
I'm on the ride
Oh I'm on the ride
Sleep Valley
I’ve been away to long
That I could not find
My way back home
I've left all behind
Just to keep it in my mind
Keep my aim in mind
I wanna keep my aim in mind
I’m so tired
That I could not sleep
I’m so hungry
That I could not eat
I could not eat
And, I’m so tired
That I could not sleep, yeah
I’m so hungry
That I could not eat
Cause death is my alley
I’m on the ride
Sleep Valley
I'm going to Sleep Valley
I'm going to Sleep Valley
Death is my alley
Thats where I go
I'm going to Sleep Valley
Thats where I go

Planting Gallows

I’ve been swallowed by the sea
Don’t you remember me?
I’ve been swallowed by a thought
And I found it hard to sort
I got the seed in my hand
I like to plant now
I’m seeding my thought deep
Just that I reap
promised verity
The roots getting stronger
If I wait a little longer
Promised verity
I’ve been swallowed by the sea
Don’t you remember me?
I got the seed in my hand
I like to plant now
I’m seeding my thought deep
Just that I reap
promised verity
And the years go by,
While the trunk is growing high
take on me
From dust I came
And I’ll end up in the same
Thats verity
And now I see
I’ve planted gallows not a tree
Take on me
Take on me
Take on me
He asks the tree
While he took the rope
Will your arms hold me?
Your neck plunge deep
Into the sky
It’s time to sleep
Step by step the world turn slow
Step by step you know
The soil, your mother, is calling you
To finally get you back

Paralyzed's sophomore effort is an absolute banger and an example of what I hope vintage-styled heavy stoner blues rock can be. Crank it up and rock out.

This Sceptred Veil
by Sergeant Thunderhoofsupported by 8 fans who also own “Planting Gallows”
This is colossal. I’ve been enjoying these guys for years but this album is next level. They seemed to have found their stride & it’s a biggin’. I feel that they’re heading into the Groove/Rock Genre of Clutch but still carry that epic, larger-than-life sound you’d expect from Zeppelin or later era Soundgarden. Their sound is tighter than a fish’s ass (and that’s water tight) & whatever these guys are doing; I’m loving it. And…the vocals are so, so, so good! I’m excited for their next outing.

The Faceless King
by Vitskär Südensupported by 7 fans who also own “Planting Gallows”
A neat conceptual album; as a hardcore roleplayer, I appreciate the module and can't really separate module from album; definitely one of the albums that you want to listen to in its entirety, not just dip into.
