There were birds in the trees There were fishes in the seas There were people in the streets Laughing in between Now all that is left is a solid quietness Yet not a pleasant peace, Just a misery There's something inside of me, crawling. Yet, just a void from foreign species afar, planted In my head, and in my veins And as we try to carry on The Sanity seems all gone, We know what's right to do, But it is not for me nor you. Can we awaken from this slumber We drift away on the Endless sea, No way to fend off what is to come, waited too long. All will be gone, Distant voices, gruesome choices, Embodies me, encouraging me To set sails and look beyond and foresee Can we awaken from this slumber We drift away on the endless sea, No way to fend off what is to come, Waited too long. All will be gone. Can we awaken from this slumber We drift away on the endless sea, No way to fend off what is to come, Waited too long. All will be gone.

They say fortune favor the bold, heroes live forever and never grow old. But for my deeds i am dying in a cell, rewarded with damnation by the court of hell. Why do we stay? Got to climb out of the deep. Come out and play while the Devil is asleep. There’s no pardon for what i have done, no turning back once you crossed the Rubicon. But in the dead of night i climb the devil's cave, to intrude and haunt the living from beyond the grave. Back into the light of day, my soul ain’t theirs to give away. Fate i disobey, got to climb out of the deep. Come out and play while the Devil is asleep. Of a different breed, lonely and in dire need of your company. I waste my death away, got to climb out of the deep. Come out and play while the Devil is asleep. Back into the light of day, my soul ain’t theirs to keep. A grave break away, while the Devil is asleep. Back into the light of day, my soul ain’t theirs to give away.

Can you hear me calling? An echo from the deep. Can you hear the drums thunder in your sleep? Pray to the dark and it will take you away. I’ll guide you through the twilight when you’ve been led astray. And I will mend that aching heart. Now you will learn why you’re afraid of the dark. Dancing into the night, follow me far beyond the moonlight. Riding the sea of time, you’ll never know who or when you will find. Were the past and the future together make bay we waltz from tomorrow into yesterday. You have got to believe that everything will be alright, if you dare to take my hand into darkness we take flight. And I will mend that aching heart. Now you will learn why you’re afraid of the dark. Dancing into the night, follow me far beyond the moonlight. Riding the sea of time, you’ll never know who or when you will find. Surrender to the void, trip the dark light. The chosen one to reign at the edge of time. Awaiting your homecoming to claim the throne of white, beneath and out of sight. Dancing into the night, follow me far beyond the moonlight. Riding the sea of time, you’ll never know who or when you will find.

The wicked smile inside of me oppressed the light, but it will shine tonight. Preacher of the night, somewhere in the dark, yearning to be whole again. Unholy lord, receive my soul. Worshiper of he who can't be named, inside; a flame that can’t be tamed. Soon I will be gone. Preacher of the night, somewhere in the dark yearning to be whole again, Unholy lord, receive my soul. Unwept, unhonored and unprayed, I reek of death and decay, though it’s not the end. Preacher of the night, somewhere in the dark, yearning to be whole again Unholy lord, receive my soul. Preacher of the night, somewhere in the dark, yearning to be whole again Unholy lord, receive my soul.

Tonight i seek an audience with a king divine, light my path with magic, in the sky the stars align. Destiny is calling, gods will know my name, here to seek my fortune, divinity in my veins. I’ve passed where mortals fear to tread and heeded every word you said. Heart of darkness calling to me. Bound to your fate, a slave to your greed. Heart of darkness calling to me. Cursed by the dusk, a shadow to be. Death is but a door, i bow my head and kneel. From one life to another, a sudden flash of steel. With the spirits in attendance I break the cursed spell. A bridge to span the worlds of heaven and of hell. Through the skin and to the soul, into black, out of control. Reborn and now depart to air, send me of with chant and prayer. I’ve passed where mortals fear to tread. Now the path is blocked ahead. Heart of darkness calling to me. Bound to your fate, a slave to your greed. Heart of darkness calling to me. Cursed by the dusk, a shadow to be.

Nattmaran 05:51
Where darkness dwells, she seeks your deepest senses. In pursuit to grasp your fright A beldame of the night, a malicious reeper That drinks your deepest fears at night You will transform into a human ride The Mare of the Night The mare of the Night. Slaying your dreams and destroy you beliefs, No time The Mare of the night, your body she rides in the break of the dawn she will be long gone This time I am your Journey to the end, I am your nightmare. There is a sorceress which your mind curesses. Voice of satin linger on, yet lurking in the dark. A soothing gentle breeze that whispers in your ears Enjoy your final sleep six feet underneath. The Mare of the night, mare of the night. Slaying your dreams and destroy your beliefs, No time. The mare of the night, your body she rides, in the break of the dawn she will be long gone, This time: I am your Journey to the end I am your nightmare Hell Nattmaran rider sinnen nedåt helvetet vi rider Hell Nattmaran mästrar sinnen, bärsärkagång I ditt minne Hell Nattmaran i denna dunkla natt. Dräper din själ, i avgrunden syns du icke mer.

Time 05:27
Time, all I have is time Inside, my mind, all there is: just time, in here Though I keep on pretending I am free to make my own path And though I keep Comprehending No one changes the fact, That nothing can be ruled over… Time, in my state of mind, alive It defines where the darkness dwells I can not be free Watching eternally thru these walls of decay Waiting Eternity, in my grave of guilt Trapped in a world underneath Chambers of guilt and despair, Regret is my crown made of thorns I bear it night and day, For my sins I´ll have to pay, Neglected emotions and broken bones piles up within these walls. I make a mark and pay by day. Counting, breathing, sleeping, nothing rules over… Time, oh the thing about time, I can't give you mine, and I can't buy yours, and you can't sell mine Hours seems like days to me And I count them until I’m free Until time releases me

Mirage 05:03
Moving closer to the sky, So marvelous I want to cry Oh the sun sends its warmth Down the hills we are alive And the warmth is to blame Follow the truth And the heath caresses my soul Pupils like dimes I have seen the light I have wandering the dunes My role is part of something big again For days I have wandering the dunes And in my head i sense sweet tunes And in my mind these voices. keep talking Says you stay alive if you keep walking And the warmth is to blame For I am dried out And the heath caresses my soul I have seen the lights It is just the beginning, it is not the end My role is part of something big again The hills and dunes are perfect they are alive and I see dunes reflecting colors of the spiral skies Into oblivion I wanna go I got to go I got to go

We who are the people of a no man's land, rulers of a barren waste of dust and sand. A prison in a corner of reality, trapped in our own chains and we believe we're free. Tales of intervention rock us into sleep, hypnotic lies of trust and comfort in repeat. But no one comes to atone for our crimes and bring a new tomorrow at the end of times. The silence of our future echoes from the past, history repeats itself way too fast. The ever smiling sunshine slowly fades to black, borrow from tomorrow giving nothing back. The tower of correction grown to steep to climb, saints of imperfection leave their fate behind. Starbound we are raging through the endless skies. Lightspeed vessel travelers escape their vice. No more frontiers to reach, no more boundaries to breach, nothing left to learn, nothing left to teach. Rise to search the empty space profound and deep. Rise to search the empty space profound and deep.

about

Stockholm based SPIRAL SKIES is an orchestra who plays what can most easily be described as "On other planets kinda Rock". Fronted by the charismatic singer Frida whose voice has been compared to Grace Slick and Kate Bush, Spiral Skies´s sound is a fine blend between 70’s psychedelic rock and 80's heavy metal, with lots of spices of doom, folk and fuzz all mixed in a dark and whirly brew.

Spiral Skies has enchanted their audience and listeners since 2015, and released their highly appreciated debut album “Blues for a Dying Planet” in 2018.
The band gained a lot of attention for their unique music style, combining a lot of different elements such as melancholy, fast riffing and blackened surf guitars. The band played at Sweden rock and toured in Europe, opening for several acts such as High on Fire, Orange Goblin, and Truckfighters, to name a few.
