- From the album "Passover".
Lyrics:
Oh, the empires calling,
Trying to hear his voice,
While he's preaching to the choir,
And that choir is death and noise.
And he closes up his fist, and he sees if they exist.
Angels with broken wings,
Melodic harmonies she sings.
She brings you white daffodils,
You place them on your windowsill.
Then you open up your fist, and you see if they exist.
Well you sit in dark forests,
You've been there for quite a while.
And when they come to take you,
You just sit and smile.
You say, "Hey, you take this. I'm gonna see if you exist."
Oh it's time to leave here,
And I still have my knife,
And it's pressed up against my body,
Tonights gonna be the night.
And I cut my own wrist, just to see if I exist.

quickly becoming my favorite band
***** RIGHT?! :D
I've only known them a few months and I'm entranced!! Best neo-psych I've heard in a long while.
I remember hearing these for the first time when they supported The Black Keys at Manchester Academy in 2006. They opened with this and me and my dad turned to eachother and just said "Jesus Christ". They absolutely blew me away.
I really like that you and your dad were going to shows together.
Sometimes it gives me a 70s doors-like feeling...I love it!
I wasted so many years of my "musical apprenticeship" attempting to master my instruments and write busy sounding and complex music. Simple and diving tunes like this beats everything. There is way more texture and atmosphere in this song than in so many "over played" type songs.
Yea, I've learned as a drummer people like a steady, constant rhythm flow instead of fills every other riff.
the soundtrack our lives... rock n roll yeah
PSYCHEDELIC GARAGE ROCK AWESOME
A dark, absorbing, and strangely mysterious kind of sound. Awesome band, too.
@litos1251 Hell yes! I started to notice that dark music is really the only kind worth listening too.
awesome....Velvet Underground meets Jefferson Airplane..
This is the kinda band iv been waiting a long time for.
Their songs take me away to another place, where I'm at peace. Few bands make me do this. This just goes to show how incredible they are.
This is back to the roots...
some spiritual empire from beyond
All the black bands are great...black angels....black rebel motorcycle club....black sabbath....black eyed peas...well....not the last one.
black gun fire
uta! que madres con esto...? hipnotiza y teletransporta segun el nivel de hierva que fumes..y aun asi vale un pequeño comino o piñon!!!! . poca su madre de cancion.. buena seleccionn señor.. viva el mar! .. ahi se mata todo!
Such an interesting selection by a very creative group, these black angels.
the drums are relentless...i like stuff like this..its dark.."and he closes up his fist to see if they exsist" maybe a reference to druggies / sheep...my fav black angels tune
This song is unbelievable o.o Really underrated.
*_* They've imploded my face with their awesomeness. THIS SONG... This is beautiful.
yes, this group is friggen sick ish! And I'm not even crazy about new rock, but came across them on the new Fable 3 commercial
Wow. . . Just wow!
I heard this on the radio some time last summer, I think. It had been a long time since I heard any rock music that really blew my mind and haunted me for a while. Unfortunately, I didn't hear the band's name, so I eventually forgot about this song. Recently, I heard it on the radio again, and I was lucky enough t hear the band's name. Keep up the fantastic work, guys!
such a well written song........ badassery
This song is beyond epic: it's haunting.
first seconds and I thought it will be All Tomorrow's Parties. whatever.. excellent!
Amazing band!!!!
Certainly to be the Masters o' the Fuckbeat, this stuff just throbs, breathily seeking a vinyl backseat on a warm summer night, yum...
This song is really great to get blazed out to .. damnit man .. this shit is so crunchy.
Hi I'm here to sign up for the cult
@marvelac because sadly enough people fall for trends in music and are easily influenced by what the present social hype is. specially with todays technology. these guys, and girl are awesome
My new obsession.
WOw that band !!!! :O
This song makes me think of a man, who loses his mind in solitary confinement.
Don't We have a Special place, where We do that, without being convicted of something?
this is great shit!dig it !
reminds me of some old late 60's-70's psych,sort of Pretty Things,Pink Floyd,Hawkwind.
groovy.
Haunting...
how come good music is not popular?
Welcome to Dubai!
im gunna stop this song here and listen to it next time im tripping
this is......amazing X_X
just saw them at bonnaroo, unbelievable
Pozdrav za Andjelku.
this is fucking great music!!
omg!!!
Coo song.
black mountain too
@Nicookr I agree, im 13 and i hate the shit of today. The 90's were the best (to me), then the 70's. then there's newer bands like black angels, the whigs, and kings of leons older stuff is pretty good.
DJ420 Des Moines IOWA , NICE!!
@malawri67 hawkwind for sure! these guys are a trip
Another dark song to commemorate the death of a civilization on a fallen world.......
Saint Patrick
Fuuuuuck.....this is good.
@marvelac - Majority of people find it hard to think original thoughts for themselves. Taste is original. It's what you like despite what other people say you should like, for reasons that are your own. Thus, most people have no taste.
this riff after the chorus is so dark
Spec ops: the line
@Jimmertime Sometimes it's because they ''accidently press it'' It's happened to me lol -.-
The Emire of God is sterted to be created on the planet Earth! I am here to tell you the truth that everything is LOVE... The begining is in Poland on my/our Blog - "Wewnętrzny spokój" and this is mean "inner peace", so lets the party on this beautifull planet begin!
Fuckin ace!
This song reminds me of Apocalypse Now..
What is that sound at the start?!
GOTH!
@Mosixman wtf man? is it really that crazy. i tried some and my experience was just extreamly brite colors.
but yea if i knew about these guys earlier i would be tripping balls
@mormegil231
I think he means "In Soviet Russia, song marries YOU"
ahh fuck yes this song is epic. EPIC! i cant stop listening to this track.
Saw them live in sydney and might i say, fucken awesome. only regret was not droping a tab :(
I'm sorry but I am in part the cause of the demise of your enjoyment and satisfaction from listening to this music. Its only natural to love sharing something you enjoy with the hopes that others too will enjoy them. Besides how do you know they wont go down in history as a band like pink floyd, or ccr, or the who or other bands with similar standings? Be optimistic bro, it suits you more :)
I coulda swore that sound in the beginning was a bong
I don't know. This band is pretty obscure. Are you sure you've heard of them?
@juangamez16 Master Yoda?
dont ask me y....but i have to burn something down
Pyro! That's sounds cathartic
I don't think this track was in that game, only Bad Vibrations and The First Vietnamese War, right?
@marvelac - Also, tastes vary : )
@chaseduran wat
:)
@juangamez16 Well you have to take the right dose. Also look into DMT.
@juangamez16 lulwat?
@number676766 haha here's the head of sasquatch what's next
in Russia marry this song you
8 people don't belong to this empire.
Did you listen to the song? The empire is an evil one.
And?
I really don't see how they are reminiscent of the Grateful Dead...
Morgan Shepard i agree the ded connections not there if someone had mentioned the doors i would have agreed
velvet underground infuence!
@de4dr4bbit oi. i resent this as a "pubescent teen" myself. maybe a majority prefer that shit, but its not that large of a majority anywho... just saying man, it hurts to be discriminated against like that.
We do! But we're in the minority.
keep music evil
They're way better than the Dead. Just saying. Country Joe and the Fish were way better than the Dead too.
No, it doesn't. Don't be a selfish hipster, the band doesn't exist for you and a select few.
