lyrics

We sleep late and wake up early
But at least we sleep and wake up

We build cities, monstrosities
Stone by stone
Day by day
You, Sisyphus, are the leader

We build and destroy
We should no longer be involved in wars
You, Sisyphus, our leader
You pose a threat to our calm

We don’t respect our calm

Running after a rolling stone
Day by day, year by year
You, Sisyphus, always lose but at least you try
And you try, and you try again
Say it! Again

We have met before
We have played together
You, Sisyphus, were the leader
You, Sisyphus, the poor star

Can you really talk with your mouth closed?
And what’s for
Do you really pray with all your heart?
And what’s for
Be awake

Sleep late and wake up early
But at least we sleep and wake up

We've waited a long time for Thee Holy Strangers' second album! But yes, it was worth the wait, the band delivered a sophomore made of gold. Rocky, dusty gold, mind you, crude yet pure and beautiful! This is an indie-rock anthem with the distinguish americana style that the band established from the debut. It seems to have a conceptual flow and works really like a time-stopping spell. Great job, it's such a pleasure to hear THS music once again! BoneWalker
