Second star to the right
Straight on ‘til morning light
It seems like a hundred years ago
Did we forget how to fly
Did we fail not to grow?
I whisper ‘hello, boy’ as we sit on your lawn
But days of Neverland are long gone
After all this time
Is it too late now?
Clap your hands if you still believe in me
See through this metaphor
Just what I’m trying to allude to you
- Thimble
After all this time
Is it too late now?
Oh, I never tried to lead you on deceivingly
Thimble
For our heart’s unforeseen vicissitude
Violets for remembrance
For the faded semblance
Of all the pirates we fought together
Back in the day
When time was some abstract word to say
Age just a number far away
Can we yet grasp on what it takes at all?
For both our sakes, don’t let me fall
After all this time...
Thimble
For my heart’s unforeseen vicissitude
Snowfall from snowfall
Summer through summery breeze
You’ve always been there
Now let me be there for you
And put your mind at ease
After all this time...
Thimble
For the heart’s unforeseen vicissitude
Oh, give me a thimble
Can’t you see it’s a symbol or what it represents
Thimble, after all this time
All this time
Give me a thimble
Can’t you see it’s a symbol or what it represents
Thimble, for your heart
And mine
Really good, heavy, darker rock with a sound that will surely refuse to become dated by the passing of time. To me, it sounds somewhat like a darker Suzi Quatro, Joan Jett, or Pat Benatar might. I highly recommend this album. The choruses and ‘chanting’ (for lack of a better term) are catchy and compelling to sing along to (especially the chorus of Golden Serpents). Vocals, song structures, and band chemistry are great. Thanks, Dool! I look forward to your next offering. 8/10. Alrihkh
I remember hearing this album way back when it just came out, listening to it on YT on repeat. And now I have it in 2022 on CD! Excellent for fans of prog metal, with a nice balance of genres. PunkGalFury
The Indonesian act Kekal leaves no genre unturned, colliding black metal with industrial music with melodic post-rock on this stunning LP. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 25, 2023
A mind-bending psychedelic rock opera with the songs to match, “Xafyre Dynasty” has its controls set for the heart of the sun. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 24, 2022
This album might need a few spins before you hear the true depth of this slowly building up album that makes a wonderful finish on The Machine. GazpachoX
