RIVERS OF NIHIL stellen heute `The Sub-Orbital Blues`, die erste Single mit

Ihrem neuen Gitarristen Andy Thomas (ex-Black Crown Initiate) und Adam Biggs als Leadsänger vor. Der mit dem “The Work“ Album eingeschlagene Weg in die modernen Zeiten scheint sich auch bei dem neuen Song fortzusetzen. Ohne dabei den Death Metal völlig zu verdrängen.

 

Adam Biggs erklärt:

“This song is about the dichotomy of living in a 21st century society rife with scientific and technological advancements such as artificial intelligence and ever more sophisticated space travel, while also dealing with the increasing threat of old world problems like out of control governments and the looming threat of world war.”

 

Hören könnt ihr den Song bereits jetzt, das offizielle Video geht um 16:00 CEST online.

Lyrics:

Can you see it?

Believe me that

Our dreams will orbit the earth forever

My heroes left me here in

1917 I fear

To ponder and perform

The religion of dogs of war

But I can only lift that cup long enough to fill my mouth

We’ll suffer, and scorn

Another 800 billion suckers born

And it ain’t lost on me (see it)

That code is all I’m gonna be (believe it)

But our dreams will orbit the earth forever

 

Oh yeah I got ‘em bad

Got them suborbital blues baby

 

Existence

Is oh so temporary (I’ve got my feet on the ground)

We’ve all been waiting (waiting to escape this world)

This obsession (will)

Digitize perceptions

Save us (save us)

We live forever (save me from that hole in the ground)

 

But now I’m light as a feather

Just ones n zeros

Is this heaven?

I don’t feel

I don’t think

Just want St. Peter to let me in

 

Because my sea is a black sea

And the air is trying to kill me

Oh god save me

 

Now they’re dragging out the bodies

To dig their holes in the ground again

Throw your children to the sky

See the widowed mothers crying again

Tell me what will you do? (What will you do?)

Yeah have you heard the news?

I don’t think we’re gonna make It

(what will you do?)

Because government is coming for you.

 

Do you see it?

Believe in it?

(Launch me into orbit)

Our dreams will orbit the earth forever

 

The dead they speak to me

Told me you can’t break free

But they don’t see

What I’ve seen

So I tell them how it’s gonna

Tell me can you see it (see)

I don’t believe it (believe it)

When our dreams will orbit the earth forever
