lyrics

smells​ ​of​ ​wet​ ​leather
and​ ​wings​ ​without​ ​feathers are​ ​locked​ ​in​ ​the​ ​room
from​ ​countless​ ​endeavours these​ ​curious​ ​treasures light​ ​up​ ​with​ ​the​ ​moon
how​ ​scattered​ ​the​ ​prize so​ ​precious,​ ​so​ ​fine
too​ ​good​ ​to​ ​ignore
all​ ​those​ ​boxes​ ​exist
sweet​ ​amethyst
and​ ​there’s​ ​still​ ​room​ ​for​ ​more
hundred​ ​years​ ​gone​ ​by
all​ ​I​ ​have​ ​is​ ​encased
I​ ​remember​ ​the​ ​time​ ​you​ ​came for​ ​my​ ​curious​ ​ways
but​ ​not​ ​before​ ​I​ ​tried
to​ ​keep​ ​them​ ​in​ ​their​ ​place
wooden​ ​doors​ ​are​ ​left​ ​open the​ ​long​ ​lost​ ​has​ ​spoken
of​ ​its​ ​fabled​ ​throne
triumphant​ ​unrest
as​ ​the​ ​stories​ ​suggest of​ ​the​ ​great​ ​tupelo
dusty​ ​skulls​ ​hang​ ​up​ ​high
rusty​ ​railroad​ ​ties​ ​are​ ​piled​ ​on​ ​the​ ​floor
hundred​ ​years​ ​gone​ ​by
all​ ​I​ ​have​ ​is​ ​encased
I​ ​remember​ ​the​ ​time​ ​you​ ​came for​ ​my​ ​curious​ ​ways
but​ ​not​ ​before​ ​I​ ​tried
to​ ​keep​ ​them​ ​in​ ​their​ ​place
taking​ ​off​ ​running
your​ ​pale​ ​star​ ​is​ ​coming
and​ ​soon​ ​it​ ​blooms​ ​over​ ​the​ ​sea
a​ ​haunted​ ​collection
a​ ​furious​ ​spectrum
is​ ​hidden​ ​and​ ​kept​ ​far​ ​away
sharpness,​ ​not​ ​weakness​ ​will​ ​help​ ​you​ ​see​ ​through​ ​this and​ ​keep​ ​you​ ​from​ ​turning​ ​too​ ​fast
despite​ ​all​ ​your​ ​hopes
you​ ​are​ ​pulled​ ​by​ ​the​ ​ghost
and​ ​fall​ ​through​ ​the​ ​looking​ ​glass
all​ ​the​ ​weary​ ​and​ ​desperate
come​ ​the​ ​day,​ ​you’ll​ ​manage
find​ ​a​ ​world​ ​that​ ​shelters​ ​you offer​ ​and​ ​reveal​ ​the​ ​truth
and​ ​when​ ​you​ ​find​ ​your​ ​safe​ ​return a​ ​wild​ ​wind​ ​will​ ​blow​ ​you​ ​in towards​ ​a​ ​fire​ ​that​ ​doesn’t​ ​burn
so​ ​keep​ ​pushing​ ​on,​ ​wanderer
collection​ ​near​ ​complete
my​ ​pockets​ ​are​ ​full
my​ ​deep​ ​roots​ ​will​ ​awaken​ ​me gonna​ ​carry​ ​me​ ​home

about

Holy Grove image

Holy Grove Portland, Oregon

Holy Grove is a band of true believers―blurring the lines between classic heavy metal, doom, and prog, unafraid to take long, strange trips, peel off shit-hot guitar solos, and scream as if their lives depend on it.

The band has supported the likes of Yob, Wayne Kramer’s MC50, Windhand, Elder, and High On Fire, even earning a slot on the prestigious Psycho Las Vegas festival. ... more
