Tales From A Past Life (Single)

by Riffsage

supported by

pinkytheent This song punches far above its weight! I love Riffsage’s melodic sensibilities; the marriage of huge fuzzy heft with engaging and exploratory melodies in the vein of Elder. Definitely gives me that adventurous feeling of some of the best bands of the borders of metal/rock/kraut/prog. Hope to hear more from you, Riffsage!

lyrics

I looked in the skies of a past life
From the range of the Scandes Lands
In Halls Held High are my kinsmen
All Died battle-born and brave

From stories filled by crows and thunder
And a goddess of war so fair
Where do I fit amongst these gods
A purpose far beyond my stare

I set sail for new horizons
But my compass points unclear
My fathers words they guide me
Although the fear grows ever near

All the values held in the old wars
Propped up with high esteem
With all respect to the Nordlands
They don't mean much to me

I'm but a lost soul in the world of yesterday
All eyes are on me but my heart still strays away
