For Ashley and Michael, may your next adventures be peaceful.
lyrics
Bathed in the shadow of a mountain
So long ago it must be myth
There lived a man and now a monster
Beneath the shadows where he hid
A seed was planted in the garden
The love he knew is now benign
Longing for the sunshine on his skin
(begging for the sunshine sunshine)
Trapped in the shadow of the mountain he will die
Buried there in the shadow of the mountain
So long ago now, long ago
He cannot stand the sunshine, sunshine…
Riddles in the dark are all he’ll know
Crawl from the darkness
Into the light
Blinded by fortune
And buried alive
Oh precious lovely silver
Oh what a fool I’ve been babe
But who could ever doubt me lady
Can’t they see the pain I’m in?

Italian stoner powerhouse Tenebra has the heft of Sabbath and the hooks of Saint Vitus in their powerfully imposing tunes. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2022
