lyrics

Here upon my knees
Can't feel that kind of torture
I always feared I would feel when I'd leave

I look in to your eyes
They, too, come from a culture
Even though we hide it like a sin

Uncanny is what's around
Find shelter in the mirror
And all the things I know just vaporize

White sheep up the hill
Grazing in the grassfield
Maybe they're just too true to be good

Old folks are back and eager
To dance with all your brides
Thousands thoughts but just one liver
Thousands lies

Unknown is kissed blown out the candle
Ancient rites dwell in one's chest
Fastened thongs around her ankles
It's my hands

Will you cry?
Will you cry!

Just an other lil' bit in their town
And they will toast when we leave.
Ain't no aces up my weekend sleeve,
Lost it spinninng a wheel.

And the wings of music shake off their old feathers
Leather kisses and ties downy legs
And She begs and comes over and over again.
I bargained for her silence, false or uncouth.
Ruthless my sweetheart, my revenant
Please your servant in his leisure.
No half measures is an utopian shelter.
Surrender still is far.

I was told that in dreams
It's always as it seems
But I'm still having troubles with this frame

Woke up in a song
To what should I belong?
Will a shower wash all of my sins away?

With my friend of the day
We went through truth-lie games
And basically that's all that I recall:

If what I bequeath is ok
Then I should stop feeling pain
But then it wouldn't be this fun at all.

Zahir Montevarchi, Italy

Zahir knew their start in 2013, only getting to a complete formation in the summer of 2014.
'70's blues and rock are a major source of influence for the band, with a touch of prog, and often dwelving in more acoustic atmospheres.
'Portrait of Zahir as a Young Band" is the band's first EP and a snapshot of their music in its early days. ... more
