Lyrics:

here it ends around the bend 
my biggest fear is my destiny 
left behind for what it’s worth 
save your sorrow, scrape the earth 

don’t belong here, never will 
sold my soul with every sin 
so long 
no mercy, no remorse 
I’m quitting 

I severed all of the ties and wasted night 
did my part and now I’m done 
I’m on a quest for rest 
now give this lonely man a gun 

grim eminence, the cold expense 
kiss it goodbye, suffering done 

this is home not some asylum 
a setting sun and a world to come 
between the hills above and the valley below 
where I astray forevermore 
lay my head down low 
for the quietus 

visions of another world 
blizzards, winter’s on the loose 
visions of another world 
blizzards, winter’s on the loose 
dawn goes down the drain 
nothing gold can stay 
visions 

dawn goes down the drain 
nothing gold can stay 

ready the gallows 
gear up your loins 

survival of courageous and wary 
scavengers 
rise to something more instead 
build it up with my own blood 
a life of resentment 
had enough 

survival of courageous and wary 
scavengers 
there’s no way to be free 
you murderer 
for a man like me: no sanctuary 

grim eminence, the cold expense 
kiss it goodbye, suffering done 
the only way, the only one 

dawn goes down the drain 
nothing gold can stay 

this is home not some asylum 
a setting sun and a world to come 
between the hills above and the valley below 

here it ends around the bend again 
my biggest fear is my destiny 
left behind for what it’s worth 
save your sorrow, scrape the earth 

grim eminence, the cold expense 
kiss it goodbye, suffering done 
the only way, the only one 
I’m on my way 
dead and gone 

the quietus 
rise 
I’m ready 
let it go 
die

BIOGRAPHY
Your Highness emerged from the swamps of Antwerp. Armed with a huge DIY-spirit and a first full-length (Cults 'n' Cunts, Hammerheart rec. 2011),
they started bulldozing the underground scene in Belgium and abroad. 
They released a 3-song EP (Blue Devils, Hoogheid rec., 2012) and a split-LP with Hedonist (Roughtrade, 2014). Both received positive responses from fans and promotors and got them to play Desertfest Belgium, Ieperfest, Rock Herk, Antwerp Metal Fest, ...
and support bands like Corrosion of Conformity, The Sword, Torche, Karma to Burn, Acid King, ASG, Fucked Up, Saviours, Weedeater and The Shrine just to name a few.

Starting 2015, City in Ruins was released: a new full-length album, written, recorded (with the help of Epic Productions) and released over the course of one year.
More sweetness to come as Your Highness is joining hands with Trix Antwerp as Artist in Residence and are playing Roadburn, Groezrock, Graspop, Into The Void, Akkerpop and many more.
