VORTEX SUN
One soul - one heart
One love - apart.
One world - one mind
One past - behind.
One hope - one will
one dream - fulfill.
One war - one pain
we flee - again.
One trip - one fear
one loss - my dear.
One will - one cry
my hope - good bye.
-
Fear - crawling nothingness
Tears – fall on desert sands.
Sun – drags me out of here.
Strength – start to fight against.
Rising ... rising ... rising ... rising!
Rage – urging force inside
Raise – freedom now untied
Move – home is out of reach
Come – time to end our cries.
Rising ... rising ... rising ... rising!
Where is the harbouring place?
Where are the ruins we faced?
New strong convictions we won.
Enter the reign – Vortex Sun!

Universal Bloodlines
My dear ....
what happened to us when the madness began?
How could we ever move so far apart?
From you, .... my brother?
Say why ....
Did You follow those inhuman lies?
Can't you see - how you are poisoning
our bloodline?
Once your brother - once your love
Once below you - now above
Same old bloodline - same old god:
but you are dead now - and I am not - I am not!
I see ....
You are no longer standing close by my side.
when the commandment came you had to divide
our bloodline, oh brother?
I must see ...
We lost your soul, you changed sides
yes - your divinity will certainly shine:
in destruction - at your end!

Born a Lion (Homeless)

Born a lion (Homeless)
Born a lion
Beloved son of a desert chief
Raised a leader
Strong boy back in better days
Born a lion
Love and hope of his family
Father's lion
Young, wild and a whole lot of dreams
Born a lion
Little hands and a healing touch
Oh a good heart
Playing games in the desert sand
Cried a sister
Sound of war brought by southern winds
Born a lion
God's gun and the terror began
Run! End of former life
Shattered and destroyed
Western world arrival
End up on skid row
Now the lion is dead
But the memory is alive
And the question remains
Without any reply
If it wouldn't have happened
then what could have been?

The Lure (Come with us)
Buddy can't you see
That your life means agony (come with us)
I'm the ferryman
Lead you to the Promised Land (come with us)
We take you to the shore
Where milk and honey flow (come with us)
Pay us in advance
don't you miss your final chance (come with us)
Say you got no money
Leave it to your wife (come with us)
Sell your house and family
buy a better life (come with us)
Misery, my business
Moralizing useless! (come with us)
I don't care for your arrival
nor for your survival (come with us)
Forget about the past
You don't wanna be the last (come with us)
Just a little step
Put your money in my hand (come with us)
You don't wanna float
Better go and get the boat (come with us)
Buy a better life
Leave the agony behind (come with us)

Run to the Plains

Run to the plains
Calling for the run to the plains
Calling for the break of my chains
Calling for the run to the plains
Waiting for the throb in my veins
Calling up the will to survive
calling up the patterns of life
Calling up the will to survive
Waiting for my fear to arrive
Gathering the strength for the hunt
Gather for the march to the front
Calling up the run to the plains
Hunting for the hunted in chains
calling for the run to the plains
Calling for the break of my chains
calling for the run to the plains
Waiting for the time to escape ..
Go! Run! Leave the Hole! My life is shattered!
Go! Run! Eat my soul! I see you fall!
Go! Run! Leave the Hole! My life is shattered!
I see you fall!

Curtains of death
In this common time
souls are joining forces.
No we won't go down
but there is no way out.
They have taken all,
nothing left to live on.
Seize the final chance.
Better off to die.
We won't fight against
overwhelming rulers.
Forge your destiny
Salvation's over there.
They will chase to death.
Words will not be spoken.
Realize at last:
Blunt humanity
As we march towards the distant horizon
Soon approaching the end of our world
In the distance feel faith and hope rising
Reaching out for the curtains of light
Marching on with the fear of the hunted
Feel the breath of the beasts on our neck
Then we're touching the rim of a New World
Realizing the end of our fright
Through the walls
through the curtains - of death
Through the walls
Through the night
through the caverns - of wrath
Through the walls
through the traces
through the curtains - of death
Through the night
through anxiety
through the caverns - of wrath

Melek's lament (Yazidi tears)
See these lights?
Fires burning on the hillside
Northern tribes
On the road to Nineveh
Bent and abandoned - weary and hopeless
Once again
On the run to leave the heartland
Forgotten reign
Oh my people fell from grace
Cry for my children - mourn for their souls
Weep
Remorse. Cry for my children
Weep
Grace. Healing and blessing
Yazata
So run my children
Don't swallow your cries
I stare into those
Black trauma-eyes
Yazata
Cold and starvation
In shattered walls
Mount Sinjar trembles
Our temple falls
Mass emigration
Explosive vests
Boys suicidal
Girls Jump to death

Walking shades
While the guarding night
cools my troubled mind,
we follow eden's call
on our steady walk.
...god is far from here ...
Men behind the lines
keeping: killing times.
They regard our lives:
threatening parasites.
...god is far from here ...
...god is far from here ...
A walk between the worlds,
a growing universe.
Hate and hollow faith
hunt the walking shades.
...god is far from here ...
Loss of our past and walking in hope - fielded and
thrown out again

Ritual of inner Strength
Float - on the ocean
Drift - upon a dream
Rain - from the outside
Cold - inside me
Pain - now we suffer
Dark - is my mind
Pain - oh we suffer
Rain - wish I could ...
...
BURN
BURN
....
For the Sake of our unborn children
With the mind of a hunted ghost
We confess we are strong and willing
Now persist! Let us reach the coast !

Black Space Riders Münster, Germany
NEW WAVE of HEAVY PSYCHEDELIC SPACE ROCK
If you like Black Space Riders, you may also like:
The Burden of Restlessness
by King Buffalo
supported by 40 fans who also own “REFUGEEUM”
Very dark and melancholic and also a progressive album. Beat and atmosphere remind me strongly of TOOL.

Utterly hypnotic, heavy, and ethereal beyond what I can aptly describe here. It'll take you careening down a kaleidoscopic wormhole of audial bliss.

It's only four tracks, yes, but it's four tracks of great cosmic psychedelia. Here's my full review - https://www.7thlevelmusic.com/?p=12710

Sustained by seismic psych riffs, proggy shifts, and vivid sci-fi storytelling, these Milwaukee cosmonauts command respect.
