    Our single "Moth" is now available on the limited "Golem II" Vinyl Sampler. We've been teaming up with our favorite place to play and culture hub called "Der Golem" and a bunch of brilliant artists from the dutch & german jazz/psych/prog/indie-scene to compile this sampler. The LP comes with a coloured woodcut on one side and a photography on the other. Every single LP cover is a unique masterpiece made by Golem artists Haimo Hieronymus and Stephanie Neuhaus. Featured bands are: Yenga, Darjeeling, C.A.R., Black Monsoon, Josephine Odhil and Henning Neidhardt Trio.

lyrics

The earth is still turning / sun is still burning / people are yearning for more / mother is crying / mother is trying / to reach through concrete / but we buried her deep / she only gave us an inch when we asked for a mile / so we burned down her trees / it felt good for a while / now we want more and the fire spreads / we add fuel to the flames / just to cloud our heads / it’s not our fault / it’s how we’ve been taught / we are parasites / it’s not our fault / we follow a master-plan / we take all we can / with our never ending appetite / it’s not our fault / it’s how we’ve been taught / father is grieving / father is leaving / we have killed in his name / and we would do it again / so we pray and we hope he forgives our sins / but the sky is empty as it has ever been / who will conquer the throne / who is next in line / guess we’ve paved the way / for big brother to rise and shine / it’s not our fault / it’s how we’ve been taught / we are parasites / it’s not our fault / we follow a master-plan / we take all we can / with our never ending appetite / it’s not our fault / it’s how we’ve been taught / brother takes his chance / invites us to dance / no need to step out of line / cause we feel safe in his arms / but dressed in shepherd’s clothes / rises the alpha wolf / and we must kneel to the beast / and make sure that it’s pleased / it’s not our fault / it’s how we’ve been taught / we are parasites / it’s not our fault / we follow a master-plan / we take all we can / with our never ending appetite / it’s not our fault / it’s how we’ve been taught
