about

Following on the heels of anthemic rock track ‘What Color Is the Rain’, the band’s latest offering is a spellbinding sonic propulsion of intoxicating rock energy, fueled by electrifying guitar lines and cast in an avant sense.

‘Queen’ tells of the bewildering and lugubrious turn nostalgia can take, laying bare the internal conflict between progress for the future and succumbing to the seductive allure of past memories. The band drive through the conflict with a heaving undercurrent of head-spinning textures culminating in the outro’s blistering guitar solo. ‘Queen’s lyric video portrays the turmoil with visions of queens and hearts morphing through the song’s passing.

lyrics

If love is the ace of spades
If heart is the jack of all trades
I'll crown you and you keep what you save

You dig deep down in that hole
You find whatever you own
You vent it till I am born, come on

The stands that shake up the world
Are always thought to be dead
They creep up from the back in red

Connect the lump in my throat
You're re-deciding my mould
I'll love you like a ghost, dissolved

If love is the ace of spades
If heart is the jack of all trades
I'll crown you and you keep what you save

If there was a chance you could wait
This sadness and madness should fade
I'll crown you and you keep what you save

Whatever dirt that we cross
Whatever the shape of loss
There's blossoms in my head they're yours

With every thought that is pain
With every mind that is slain
There're senses that reshape and escape

If love is the ace of spades
If heart is the jack of all trades
I'll crown you and you keep what you save

If there was a chance you could wait
This sadness and madness should fade
I'll crown you and you keep what you save
