Lavaborne Shares a New Single – “Stones of the Damned”


Hot on the heels of their excellent recent album Black Winged Gods (Wiseblood Records) , the band has dropped a new single – “Stones of the Damned!” The track features Zebah Latifi who provided guest vocals for “Master of Medusa” from the last album. Jam out to “Stones of the Damned” now!

 

We recorded Stones of the Damned originally for Black Winged Gods, but we decided to cut it to improve the pacing of the album. So now you get to enjoy it as a single! This one shows the doom side of our sound, heavily influenced by Candlemass. You can also hear quite a bit of Alice in Chains inspiration here.

 

Guest vocals on this song by Zebah Latifi – if you recognize her voice, she also provided guest vocals for “Master of Medusa” on Black Winged Gods!

 

lyrics

Licking the blood from your own wounds

When they heal you will want more

Venturing from your solitude

Getting up from your stone-cold floor

Playing the martyr, playing the victim

Just to see what you can score

What will you do when you become him

Never to be, you always swore

 

Forced to cut off your puppet strings

Away from the liars you lie

Free from under Satan’s wings

But he taught you how to fly

The stones have been cast, you feel the stings

You fear your tears won’t dry

They’ll fear the bite the cornered beast brings

Avengers come, you’ll defy

 

Pick up the stones, let’s begin the game

So we can see who has the better aim

Those who will atone and know the game well

Or could it be those going through hell

I can’t tell…

 

(Guitar solo by Freddie, with harmony by Brandon)

 

Picking your wounds, they’ll never heal

It’s enough to keep you occupied

Kept on the floor, forever kneel

You’re cursed by the ostracized

Bound to the mast, they’ve sealed your fate

Endless cycle, lottery planned

The Stones have been cast, crushed by their weight

These are the Stones of the Damned

 

Pick up the stones, let’s begin the game

So we can see who has the better aim

Those who will atone and know the game well

Or could it be those going through hell

 

Pick up the stones, let’s begin the game

So we can see who has the better aim

Those who will atone and know the game well

Or could it be those going through hell
