One Hell of a Woman
 lyrics:
V1:
Did you trade your soul
To be this kind of a woman
My pick-up line to you
Back when those lines were common
So much have changed with time
but one thing stays the same

Chorus:
Your still one hell of a woman
A woman from hell sometimes too
Your still one hell of a woman
And Im one hell of a man, thanks to you

V2:
We had our ups and downs
Quite rough at times with each other
Some how we made it through
Just as good as the others
So much still change with time
But one thing stays the same

Chorus:
Your still one hell of a woman
A woman from hell sometimes too
Your still one hell of a woman
And Im one hell of a man, thanks to you

hook:
Allthough your days now seem numbered
Your mind appears even stronger and sharper
I would have lost myself to darkness
but your clear brown eyes still keeps me sane

Chorus:
Your still one hell of a woman
Whenever you go I will go too
Your still one hell of a woman
And Im one hell of a man, thank you!

One Hell of a Woman

After watching the news about the volcanic eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula in Iceland, the four-piece post-rock band Laxá composed the first track of their new album as a result. 

Entititled "Eldensgill," which translates as "Fire Angel", it melds post rock and classical elements provided by the Heima Quartet.

The band members are:

Jussi Siglarson - Guitar
Bjarne Guðjohnsen - Bass
Matthias Helguson - Drums
Mike Taylor - Keyboards
Lisbeth Heima - Violin
Sif Árnadóttir - Violin
Natasha Guðmundsdóttir - Viola
Ída Sigurðardóttir - Cello/Double Bass

Eldsengill by Laxá [Icelandic post rock]

Vocal Sampling: Psychedelic Revolution
Batgrowl: Psychedelic Revolution
Instrumental Mix: B Steele

Added some world vocal samples in the intro. I think it’s in Gaelic. Was inspired by Deshi Basara by Hans Zimmer but I wanted to give the chanting a melody. Piano progression was something I played for years and finally developed. Had no idea I had a bit of Dorian thrown in the arpeggios. There’s also some slap bass for the chorus. The strings incorporate the vocal melody and there’s also a dorian #4 in the verses. 

Lyrically, I took lines from The Dark Knight Rises. It’s basically another song of mine about self empowerment. 

Batman: “What does it mean?”
Old Wise Guy: “Fuck if I know. I just downloaded the vocal sample from online.”

Lyrics :

(Verse:)
We saw what you did
We know what you are
Now follow us so we can fix it
Before it goes too far
(x2)

(Chorus:)
Why would you fucking do that ? 
We told you not to fucking do that 
You saw what happens when you fucking do that
So don't you ever fucking do it again

-Verse-
(x2)
(Bridge:)
You don't get to talk to us like that
(x8)
-Chorus-

Uniform (Control)

They shuffle in at nine, dragging their feet
Eyes glazed over, heads down in defeat
Coffee cups in hand, the same old routine
In the land of the living, but barely seen

They clock in and they clock out, like ghosts in a line
You try to get through, but there's no sign of life inside

Zombies in the workplace, they're everywhere you turn
Staring at their screens, with no fire to burn
In the corporate tomb, where dreams go to die
We're all just surviving as the hours crawl by

Meetings feel like graveyards, all stiff and cold
The same old stories, the same lies told
Their bodies are present, but their minds are away
In the cubicles of doom, where ambition decays

They clock in and they clock out, like ghosts in a line
You try to break through, but there's no sign of life inside

Zombies in the workplace, they're everywhere you turn
Staring at their screens, with no fire to burn
In the corporate tomb, where dreams go to die
We're all just surviving as the hours crawl by

Is there any hope, in this corporate tomb?
Can we rise above, escape the gloom?
Or are we all destined, to join the undead crew?

Zombies in the workplace, they're everywhere you turn
Staring at their screens, with no fire to burn
In the corporate tomb, where dreams go to die
We're all just surviving as the hours crawl by

They shuffle out at five, dragging their feet
Another day done, in this endless repeat
But maybe tomorrow, we'll wake up and see
A world free of zombies, where we can all be free

Zombies In The Workplace

Into your ball.
No shadow to cast on the wall.
Into your dreams.
Blue and rocking, like the sea had been that night.

The dawn adorns.
You feel just like you're floating alone.
Turn 'way from light.
Just give me another moment alone with the night.

Caught by a glance of the light from the silvery moon.
Oh, it's you. 
I thought I was alone in the night. 
Caught by surprise by the light of the silvery moon.
Full moon.
I thought I was alone in the night.

The sky grows pale.
Find your spot underneath the sail.
The rocks surround.
An undulating mass of dry ground sprung up out of the night 

The daylight shows.
The paths where all the people must go.
They hurry by.
Their shadows so long as they emerge from the dark of the night.

Caught by a glance of the light from the silvery moon.
That'll do. 
Floating in the un-ending night. 
Caught by surprise by the light of the silvery moon.
Full moon.
I thought I was alone in the night.

Caught by a glance of the light from the silvery moon.
Oh, it's you. 
I thought I was alone in the night. 
Caught by surprise by the light of the silvery moon.
Full moon.
I thought I was alone in the night.


Full Moon

sing along w/ these lyrics

She was the kinda girl who would call you up
Leave you hanging, I've had enough
But when I think I hate it
Yeah but I still taste it

She was the kinda girl who would kiss your friends
Say it never happened, let's try again
When I think I hate it
Yeah but I still taste it

And I'll taste it...again
And again, and again, and again

She was stoned when I got home
Said she used to smoke with Post Malone
He's such a nice guy
And you'd get along

She'd snap a pic, send to her ex
Said "I hate this town but I like the sex"
And you're such a nice guy
And I can't just leave you behind

But when you did
It was all ok
'Cause you never said it was more than that
And I can't complain

Yeah I can't complain
Yeah I can't complain
I still like the taste
Of disappointment

I got you up against your hand-me-down sedan
And it's 4AM and I can't let go of you
When I have you
When you're in the mood to love me

I said "I'm not quite in the state to fuck"
But I guess it didn't really mean that much
We did it anyways
Cause I always always fucking cave

I can't complain, yeah I can't complain
I can't complain, yeah I can't complain
Yeah I can't complain
Signed up for it anyway
I can't complain, yeah I can't complain

But I saw you in my sweater the other day

Can't Complain!

There's a light in the sky.
There's a light in your eyes.
Out of the dreaming, the world comes alive.
There's a light in the space.
There's a light in your mind.
After the dreaming, a world came alive.
Out of the darkness emerges the light.

Brought down by freak minds.
You fell by the way side.
They found out.
You were the last to know.
Sent where the wind blows.
Give me a free mind.
Keep the rest.
 I'll stay on side.
Held on to finally let it go.
The shadows only showed you toward the light.
After the dream...
You come alive.

There's a small glint of light.
In the corner of your mind.
Out of the darkness, you rose toward the light.
There was light at the start.
There is light at the heart.
Out of the dreaming emerges the light.
After the darkness is pierced by the light.

Dragged up, paid no mind.
You drifted toward the dark side.
No idea where to go.
Found out too slow.
Give me my free mind.
Forget your downsides.
Held on to finally let it go.
The darkness only guides you toward the light.
After the dream...
There comes your life.

Hold up the light.
To guide you home.

Preyed upon by strong minds.
Pressed up. 
Passed by.
When they make cuts.
You'll be the first to go.
The light from your window.
Forget your freak mind.
I'll get there in my own time.
Hold on. 
Or let it go.
The tunnel only leads towards the light.
Out of the dark...
You come to light.

Brought down by freak minds.
You fell by the way side.
They found out, you were the last to know.
Sent where the wind blows.
Give me a free mind.
Keep the rest, I'll stay on side.
Held on to finally let it go.
The shadows only showed you toward the light.
After the dream... 
You come alive.
