On a lost road, a trail to everywhere
Following a bad, bad road
At last all the lies seem to be clear
Walking on an endless road
Mountains in the distance never come near
The wasteland reaches as far as you can see
The sun turns golden before it disappears
A thousand eyes are watching you
Senseless and clueless, awake in the darkness
Hands are bleeding and your head is melting
From taking this last trip into the wilderness
On a lost road…
The street is a river
Treading through blood
Above it vultures are circling the sky
Rain pours down in an endless flood
You find yourself at a crossroad
And Life seems almost reality
Easy to know but hard to understand
A beautiful landscape can hold such malignancy
Standing there the wind touches your bones
The flesh lies behind as a trail of redemption
In the light of a sun that is dying
You see that there's no such thing as damnation
777 really hits its stride from track 3 onward, making it very difficult to choose a favourite. Yes, the music and vocal delivery are heavily influenced by Electric Wizard, but this is no bad thing given that EW are the undisputed Lords of Doom. Still, Goya are a distinct entity, carving out their own style, and this is pretty damn good for a debut album. The stoned and spaced guitars are amazing. Also, I wish that my past lovers had been as filthy as some of the bass tones on this recording!! Master of Alchemy
