BURIED ALIVE After luring her into the woods with a song on his flute he followed her tracks in the snow with his fist he delivered the blow he could have killed her with his knife instead the woman was buried alive It was then that he discovered she was the mother of an only child he lured the boy out of the house and hit him straight to the ground he could have killed him with his knife instead the boy was buried alive But the boy also had a father who himself had a sister and brother setting up a trap took some time one by one he lured them inside he could have killed them with his knife instead the woman and men were buried alive There were cousins, grandfathers, grannies nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles half-witted, blended, extended many degrees, all genders and colours not one of them he killed with his knife instead the whole family was buried alive When you put your ear to the ground you could hear a hell of sounds moaning, screaming, scratching, pounding in the distance, near, all around he could have killed them with his knife instead he all buried them alive

DOCTOR 02:40

DOCTOR Doctor, please help me, doctor I feel like a load of stones Like the hills on the horizon I feel unbelievably deep Like the ocean troughs Can you make me lighter, doctor Can you give me some hashish Doctor, help me, please I suffer from life Like Christ on the cross I collapse from life Like the walls of the house You can make me lighter, doctor Can you give me some hashish, please I am talking with Haros He's loud and clear He tells me my time has come I plead with him to have some One last time to smoke Before the bouzouki stops Doctor, help me one more time Haros will soon be here Like a storm coming in from the sea Haros will soon come to eat Like the last song for me You can make me lighter, doctor Can you give me some hashish, please

MURDER CALL Just another murder case a cut off head, a ripped off face burned bodies in a shallow ditch skinned alive, cooked in pitch sawed to pieces in an old shed limbs and entrails in a plastic bag poisened blood and acid rage strangulation with a shoe lace each one my murder case Half a bottle just to fall asleep smoked, single, blended, whatever it takes the liquid medicine that is crystal clear for the darkest and mudiest of dreams the sleepless dark, the horror streams I awake in the void until the murder call the murder calls murder is calling I awake in the void until the murder call the murder calls murder is calling us all This morning a father and son tied with rope, heavy with stone under water for long winter months the evidence's gone They washed upon the shore the water had pushed them out from the deep, from the dark away from outside of the light I got no proof, but can you feel it Box of bones bucket of blood bashed in skull ripped out heart cut off arms chopped off legs a bag of ears a pile of heads let it all rot, it will never stop

THE PHONE The telephone rang in the middle of the night I woke up in a shock thought someone was dead or had an accident someone I liked or loved but it was my grandma who'd been dead for many years she called me to say disaster was near I told her What's new? but she'd hang up I guessed she called me cause I'd ran outta luck and she was right she was so right disaster came that night the house burned down my car blew up I had nowhere to go it all just stopped they put me in jail and then the madhouse and they fed me pills and liquid crazyness in my veins and brain chained me to a wall in a windowless room I thought I was dead that I'd gone to hell that I'd see grandma soon she must be around here somewhere then one day I just woke up I thought I heard ringing one of the nurses came to tell I had a phone call and I asked is it again outta hell? but is was my brother which is just the same I mean, he's totally insane he once chopped off one of his pinky fingers cooked it with onions and ate it with soda and fries he told me, he's gonna get me out I asked him from where? but he'd hung up then I got truely scared I told the doctor to lock me up in a dark hidden room in the deepest cellar in ancient catacombs with chains to the wall refusing any call and then forget about me just leave me be leave me be in my premature grave

STONE 03:12
lyrics

STONE Stone is the nature of this harsh country an unforgiven crust with nothing to lose No road, path, trail only grit leads to the hidden house build in solid rock At the bare foot of the mountain in deep shadow away from the heat The house is a hole a room, a cave it's a solid box with sand and bones Stay out of the heat stay out of the wind stay where you are Don't come after me The walls bear paint and hands, fish, beasts a world long gone, telling how the moon was a stone that broke at dawn into gravel and dust the driest rain the hottest snow dispersed by the wind in a world of stone in a world of stone This ghost and spirit realm of snakes and lizards where mummies live in the mist of sand winds Of sun bleached bones sand polished skulls strange blue objects in the glow of the moon Stay out of the heat stay out of the wind stay where you are Don't come after me

THE EVIL KIND The night I was born A storm raged and the wind howled The night I was born Thunder and rain brought the misery down The night I was born Death took my mama by the hand I have come To bring you the evil kind The night I was born All stars just disappeared The night I was born The moon turned a fire red The night I was born Was just like the gypsy’s spell The night I was born Meant the end for all happiness I have come To bring you the evil kind I have no mercy I'll kick the deaf and lead the blind I will get you all I'll get into your minds I have come to bring you the evil kind

VITAMIN SHOT 02:46
lyrics

VITAMIN SHOT Everyday he took a vitamin shot Shooting lemon juice up his veins He was famous for his orange blood He never missed a chance to say What was on his mind When he left the house What he drank last night Who he missed that day If he had any doubts About what he did not tell When he came back home What he planned to cook But never what he ate If he had any guests But never who, when What was on his mind He dreamt about having cancer He woke up faking a heart attack He was struck down by a virus He bought lemons to ease his mind Everyday he took a vitamin shot Shooting lemon juice up his veins He was famous for his orange blood Now there's nothing more to say

SEGUIRIYA I woke up this morning in the crap and mud I woke up this morning in the shit and mud my head is all fog and the taste of dirt lay me in the ground when the cork is done lay me in the ground when the cork is done life is miserable when the wine is gone the sound of the seguiriya sharpens spirit and sense the sound of the seguiriya sharpens spirit and sense without that magic drink I would be dead and gone on the bridge's edge the cold water lured on the bridge's edge the cold water lured I fell backwards spin and roll in the dirt I cling onto stones let me stay dear lord I cling onto stones let me stay dear lord the devil is pulling my hair my fate is sealed, and sold

ONE MORN 05:43

ONE MORN Eyes burn in the moonlight A bright green fire He whispers Everything’s all right In his hands golden trinkets And many a diamond ring He offers a life Beyond the one within He offers powers That belong to gods and devils alone His words are sweet as candy One morn I awake Where the moon always shines His premonition A world unknown A world of many riches Endless money and gold The pyramids Shine with precious stone His house, the highest Steep stairs to the top The altar still warm with blood One morn I awake Where the moon always shines Descending bowels Lead you fast into deep earth There’s a giant dome A world beneath a world He’s on the shore Waiting by the boat You pay him no silver You pay him no gold You pay him what’s yours You pay flesh and bone You pay him what’s yours You pay flesh and bone One morn I awake Where the moon always shines The bleak truth of fear and lies

about

MURDER CALL is my 9th album with songs. I have recorded it in a bunker, and in a way secluded from the world. The album is mono, because mono is more direct, louder and more inclusive, and reminds me of powerful music from the past, before the stereo format was invented. The official release of the album is on 2 January 2022, on all the streaming platforms. As pre-release it's already on cd and on BandCamp.
