lyrics

I was born to seed death
In a land where I didn't age
The oracle could not be clearer

But innocence led me to the land
Where the fourteen gates stand
Before I know I am the King

I'm trying to solve a grievous riddle
In my ignorance I swear to kill
The man I curse and blame for the people's wail

Next day come a second warning
From an elder of strong persistence
I drive him out while he insists

"You'll find the man who caused the sorrow
He was a native all along
He was a native all along

He'll march blind, but will clearly see
He'll learn he's the brother of his sons
Husband to mother and the seed of his victim"

Suddenly here I stand
My chamber looks like an earthly grave
My wife's hanging dead

No one can force the gods to speak
Words they dare not say but still

No, the one who dares to kill
Is not afraid of words

Two golden brooches adorn my eyes
They don't deserve to see the sun
Toss me, sons, into the sea

Toss me, sons, into the sea
Farewell, daughters, you shall not suffer
You shall not suffer as I will

about

The Road Miles Athens, Greece

The Road Miles are a southern gothic band based in Athens, GR. Their fuzzy sound combines rock’n’roll energy with dark aesthetic under the influence of psychedelic blues.

They drag their guitars through reverb sounds and fuzz pedals while filtering the vocals with low-fi microphones, telling stories from a world full of heat, dust and red suns reflected on the steel hood of a deserted sedan.
