Several Sins 02:26
All in the name of Jesus All in the name of the son She bites my lips Till the morning comes And there’s a fire in her eyes I felt the heat There were no words Softly spoken But heart’s got broken Here I stand And what we talk about Are several sins The riddeling words talk to each other One eye in the shadow And one in the sun Like a child not charmless But evil inside Honey, you are the one The riddeling words Talk to each other About several sins
2.
With open eyes I raised my head All tears and blood All that was shed A volery The bird was dead What had survived Had madly fled Not one stone Not one bone Not a wall Not a home My Rome will fall
3.
We’re on the road to God knows where and I hope that you are there
4.
The Plague 06:08
The Plague is here to stay away The plague is on its way away The plague is here to save our hearts, my dear
5.
Interlude 1 02:31
Another cigarette and another glas of wine That’s my guiding light We sing the high notes in the choir of the damned
6.
See that pile All dead dogs – gone for a while Should be burnt but there’s no wood So no-one can set a fire Oh hi hello – where have you been? I don’t know how to say … it’s just what you’ve seen Oh hi hello – since you’ve been gone I don’t know what we did … but it went wrong See that flames, burnin’ vanes Well, I don’t understand Where is it from or … is it us that wastes this land
7.
Over the river Over the sea Down the valley Oh, look at me I was searchin’ for glory But she didn’t find me There’s always somethin’ in the shadow That grabs at me And there’s always a light That follows me There’s something between dream and reality That’s warm and guides me Fell in love with a ghost
8.
Mary saw Jesus dancin on water Ignoring the physics Her thoughts stumblin’ around The things to come She knows how the story ends (She says) You better start to swim
9.
The rain has come The hangman’s gone Well done The rain arrived Saved my life I’m unhung
10.
Crowned 02:26
Don’t say my name Don’t speak it out Some things are unspeakable So, don’t speak ‘em out I had a dream last night I dreamt that I walked down in the fields And the colours were gold Yeah, the colours are gold I’m searching for a place Where I’ve been crowned I had a dream last night I dreamt that I met Vincent Van Gogh And I cut his ear off Don’t say my name

about

First full-length album by german Psychedelic Underground Folk Rock twosome The Dead Hands.

The album was released in three versions.

1. Vinyl Art Edition:
Limited to 100 pieces, each one with a unique cover, painted directly onto the canvas by artist Markus Rabe. The covers were then presented side by side in a 3x3 m wall as a complete artwork on several release shows in Germany and Switzerland. The artwork started to fall apart on the first evening of its exhibition when people began picking and buying their favorites off the wall.
This edition is only available when contacting the band or visiting their live shows and contains the extra track "Fell In Love With A Ghost" that's not on the CD edition.

2. Working Mans Vinyl Edition:
Limited to 175 pieces. Each cover handprinted with linoprint by Daniel Shandog. Distributed by Broken Silence and also containing the extra track "Fell In Love With A Ghost".

3. CD Edition:
Different cover. Without "Fell In Love With A Ghost" but with three tracks also available on "First Recordings" Promo-CD.

about

The Dead Hands Germany

Former visionary heads of the Stereo Satanics (German Vintage Punk Rock) turned to the Dead Hands after the split of the Satanics in 2010 to follow their uniquely musical vision on new paths.

The music is quiet, heartfelt, stormy, dark, sometimes beautiful und sometimes nasty. Rough soundscapes meet melodies sweet as kisses from the gone, baleful melancholy, silence, frenzy and noise.
