Goddamn! it's been a long time Beating the hell out of my strings Channeling my emotions, internal explosions Searching for a way outta here Let me, please, maybe, forsake me Way down in this situation Goddamn! Im told so often How an adult should behave Let me tell you something You can keep your morphine I just need to pay the rent Let me, please, maybe, forsake me Way down in this situation I need relief, I need relief . . . So, is this the way that my life now is meant to be? Sorry but I decline, this is not made for me I know that sadness comes when you forget your believes I’d rather be happy while I still have Cosmic Relief I'm told so often how an adult should behave I keep on trying harder every night and day But I guess that working my ass off won’t make it right 'Till the end of the night, in the endless time, so Let me, please, maybe, forsake me Way down in this situation

The Drill 04:20
The bosses of the state They lie and never wait They're gonna say to you The things they never do They're gonna tear apart To pieces all your heart I know just how you feel But I know that you know the drill The bosses of the state Don't wanna leave the stage They gonna say to you The things that you should do They wanna tear apart To pieces all your heart I know just how you feel I know just how you feel I know just how you feel But I know that you know the drill

On the deck now At the sunrise On the starboard side Set full sails and in the morning We will set new course to go Nowhere Yes, my orders have been messy I will take the truth Anyway, now you must follow Or I will punish anyone that says 'No' Sailing down to the syntropy Decay of that distant galaxy Searching dead stars of Lucifer Around the Seventh Moon of Jupiter. We've been trying to understand you We've been trying to break loose We've been trying to obey you Now you're gonna feel the noose Because: (Let me tell you something) Got no money Got no time Got no place now To call Mine Sick and tired of your saber I wont hold my voice Sick and tired of the labor On this ship there is no choice Because: (Let me tell you something) I'm the captain Of my soul Everybody On their own All hands on deck

Yesterday I found it out I hit my head against the wall She made me realize I was not so amusing No answer was at the bottom of a glass No bottle was gonna give me any flash Everybody here knows How I took all the blows ‘cos it’s harder to rise Than is to fall under the administration that the evil calls It’s harder to rise But I stood tall. Trying to outstand the night Day after day not feeling right She made me understand That my acts were so confusing No answer was at the bottom of a glass No bottle was gonna give me any flash Everybody here knows How I took all the blows ‘cos it’s harder to rise Than is to fall under the administration that the evil calls It’s harder to rise But I stood tall . . . Into the rabbit’s hole Oh, my! Here I go ‘cos it’s harder to rise, yes Than is to fall
5.
Lizard men are plotting the rapture Evil minds are those who you pray to Paul is dead but don't try to capture The hints that The Other Three say I ain't fooling Those who are ruling Won't be down on your shoes 'cos I heard it on the News Let me tell you now about the webs they spun Let me tell you now about the chips they make Let me tell you now about the research that I've done Let me tell you now about what's true and what's fake I ain't fooling Those who are ruling Will be down on your shoes 'cos I heard it on the News Buffalo's chief storms the Capitol and I wonder now what I'm gonna hear next year

Too Late Now 03:52
It was a hot summer night We went out for a ride Oh, mean machine You should've seen my pride Taking lanes astride You know what I mean But we didn't see our fate I don't know how But it's too late now We had rode that same old road so many times I don't get it, no I had sharpened my driving skills that night Oh Lord! I swear it What we didn't see our future. I don't know how But it's too late now... My brother is gone So is my mind I won't bear it Now I find myself alone I have plenty of time to regret it I didn't see our fate And I don't know how But it's too late now. . .
7.
Well, I've been working some extra time And it hasn't been from 9 to 5 But it doesn't matter, they won't approve My odds are even 'It's up to you' They say now You need groove to prove yourself Some people may like all this abuse That's not my case, babe, It burnt my fuse So now I'm looking some kind of peace Of mind and body, so I can leave mine for lease You need groove to prove yourself Is this sufficient? Is this enough? Higher and higher, playing every night Driving many hours, carrying the stuff Taking care of business Do I have to live like this all my life? You need groove to prove
8.
Something holds, light years away The storm that strikes the pennant of my ship 'Try it twice as hard this time' says The voice that whispers in my ear Feebly as is my command The vessel shall release a deadly feel The enemy now is myself Shall I declare the end is somewhere near? A beam of hope I think of home Pray to the Lord Don't let me go down As pride arises, down goes shame Alas the system collapses into pieces No gravity or sense of smell That tells a man how danger ever ceases I made an oath I swore to keep A man's word should never be misgiven Yet no matter what I left behind Mission is over. I pray to be forgiven A beam of hope I think of home Pray to the Lord Don't let me go down

about

SPACE OPERA - A concept album by ZÅLOMON GRASS

A record of timeless aesthetics and sound, where maritime allegories will keep you company on a journey accross near galaxies to reach the center of the most intense human emotions.

With this new and long-awaited reference, Zålomon Grass culminates a cycle and opens the door to a universe full of sonic possibilities with a conceptual album, rich in analog nuances and full of veiled and subtle nods to classic works of the genre, both lyrically and musically; thus consolidating their personal style and navigating throug a unique sound, which fearlessly addresses the entire spectrum of Rock and Roll with capital letters, from the most classic notes to the most avant-garde subtleties.

Motherships engulfed in flames, thunderstorms of plasma and crews on the bringe of mutiny; this is the staging that the band have chosen to discuss universal issues such as frustration, the abuse of authority, or how to finally break free from the chains of an anxiety that outbreaks and expands faster than any virus on earth. . . Hold fast and enjoy the voyage.

SPACE OPERA - Un álbum conceptual de ZÅLOMON GRASS

Alegorías aeronáuticas en un disco de sonido y estética atemporales que os transportará a través del cosmos, un viaje intergaláctico por las emociones humanas más intensas.

Con este nuevo y esperado álbum, Zålomon Grass culminan un ciclo y abren las puertas a un universo lleno de posibilidades sonoras con un disco conceptual, orgánico, rico en matices analógicos y repleto de velados y sutiles guiños a obras clásicas del género, tanto en lo lírico como en lo musical. Consolidando así su estilo único y navegando a través de una propuesta sonora que aborda sin miedo todo el espectro del Rock and Roll con mayúsculas, desde las notas más clásicas a los toques mas vanguardistas.

Naves en llamas, tormentas de plasma y tripulaciones al borde del motín, éste es el escenario que Zålomon Grass han escogido para hablar de temas universales como la frustración, el abuso de poder o cómo liberarnos de las cadenas de una ansiedad que se expande más rápido que cualquier virus.
