Distant howls float with the breeze
Creations of darkness is all that I see
The blood is dripping from the trees
And I have dragged you down with me
Draged you down into the cold
I am thirsty for your soul
Think I'm young but I am old
As you realize your tears they flow
I've been waiting for you
And I've been dying to meet you
Frost is in the air tonight
No warm light is shining bright
Nothing on earth could make it right
Still you don't put up a fight
Life it falls right through your hands
And land on the dry earth as a pile of sand
Your eyes are frightened and you don't understand
That you can do nothing, only I can
I've been waiting for you…
You had it but I stole the key
No breath left with which to scream
The blood is dripping from my feet
Even in death I drag you down with me
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
