Oh my enemy, my fellow
We share a weakness
A jail for a soul and a cage for a sparrow
A curse for justice
Oh my enemy, my fellow
We know a refuge
Nestled in the arms of a sorrow
Against the nature of things, we accuse
Cruel is the fate, cold is the rain,
Dust covers our feet, we accuse again.
Time’s always at our heels but never tired
But we hide the truth babe for a bitter break
Strugglin’ with our own beliefs and doubts
While voices are calling from our deepest ache
The ache of the end
The end we can’t relieve
Things we don’t understand
The aim we can’t achieve
So we continue to blame
Whereas God forgives
We always judge and condemn
Without a reprieve.
Oh my enemy, my fellow
We use the same ploy
Refusing to reap what we sow
For a sense of solace without joy
My enemy, my fellow
Shall we go along with the gist?
And never know ourselves in the raw
The mind where we touch the mist.
A will to disarm, A way to exist
It works like a charm to lower the fist
Time will always push us forward
As a friendly call to say what’s done is done
From a distance, memories may seem stalwart
But everything will be swept away by the run
The run to the end
The end’s an echo
So that we understand
There’s neither ally nor foe
There’s a flame
A long time ago
No need to judge and condemn
I just want you to know
That we share a flame
A long time ago
No need to judge and condemn
What we have to know
Is that we share a flame
A long time ago
We just have to play the game
We gotta let it grow !
We gotta let it grow !
We gotta let it grow !
We gotta let it grow !

With its gradually-unspooling grooves and danceable beats, the debut effort from Swedish psych band Hollow Ship entices with every listen. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 8, 2020
