Heathen - 'Sun in My Hand' (official live video)

I climb the ladder but I slowly descend
Into a dark place that’s dead at the end
I watch the world decline
Or is it just my mind?
Restraining the need to transcend

I will live
To see another day
I will fight
And die to...

Choke on air and drown in water
Burn in flames with the sun in my hand
Earthly sacrifice unto the altar
Burn with the sun in my hand

The path is laid out and paved with fear
My shadow looming, drawing near
When I leave this world behind
What will my acts define?
The past is the future unclear

I will live
To see another day
I will fight
And die to...

Choke on air and drown in water
Burn in flames with the sun in my hand
Earthly sacrifice unto the altar
Burn with the sun in my hand

Held in the grip of time
Part of the grand design
But will the choice be mine?
To make the stars align
I will touch the sun

Choke on air and drown in water
Burn in flames with the sun in my hand
Earthly sacrifice unto the altar
Burn with the sun in my hand

Τον πρώτο "ζωντανά" ηχογραφημένο δίσκο της καριέρας τους θα κυκλοφορήσουν φέτος οι Heathen. "Bleed the World: Live" ο τίτλος και αναμένεται στα μέσα του πρώτου ανοιξιάτικου μήνα με το δελτίο τύπου να μας δίνει τις λεπτομέρειες:

«Mirroring the band’s crushing Bleed the World tour set list featuring “Sun in My Hand” and “The Blight,” Bleed the World: Live is the perfect audio representation of the Heathen live show, encapsulating the Empire of the Blind world tour as a moment in time.

Produced by guitarist Kragen Lum and mixed by Zeuss, Bleed the World: Live transports the listener into the concert hall with a crystal-clear yet heavy production and captures the interaction between band and audience that makes every Heathen live show special.»
