lyrics

St. Thomas’ Gate

Flowers adorn the streets
Kids play tag at peace
Artists create
Vendors debate
In my dreams I’m there
At Al-Marjeh Square
Cheerful voices fade
Colors turn gray

Black flags fluttering
Drawing closer
How could we ever have stayed
Restless heartbeats
My hope retreats
History repeats

What if we’d fought the war
Broke what our ancestors swore
This could have still been our place
Now left behind, a fading trace

The south-bound ride again
Dusty windowpane
Making headway
It feels like yesterday
Leaving for the Golan Heights
Passing by landmark sites
By a Street Called Straight
and ancient Thomas’ Gate

Black flags fluttering
Drawing closer
How could we ever have stayed
Restless heartbeats
My hope retreats
History repeats

What if we’d fought the war
Broke what our ancestors swore
This could have still been our place
Now left behind, a fading trace (repeat)

about

Nine Orders Sweden

Sweden's Nine Orders is a new unique addition to the world of heavy and progressive music. Full of riffs and rhythms that groove, and harmonies spanning the melancholic and dramatic, their sound is as massive as delicate. With melodies carried by wide-ranging clean vocals, they take a 90s progressive sound into new territory, remiscing a bit of contemporary Evergrey. Enjoy! ... more
