Shadows of the Past 06:47
lyrics

Shadows of the Past In our early days we played all this metal  Whoever tried to knock some sense into us all.  They said our music and our life was dead and gone  They said we're all just gonna be the second to the none!  Not for money!  Not for money!  Not for money – we were born!  No surrender  Crusaders of metal! Denim and leather will survive. All for money, world is wasted  And that's not our music's fault. And don't they ever really dare  To shift the blame on my rock!  But their time has gone, Wiped from the earth  Shadows of time. And there'll be no more dreams, Illusions are gone  And no hesitations. The crowds of pop starts Have occupied the top  It's just the money matters, they will never stop! Machine of show business will chew  And spit you out. Is selling place in charts, that's what is all about. All for money. All for money! All for money – it's your life! And you, freaks are not allowed  Into this shining paradise. All for money, grief and pleasure  You just flow with the stream. You will understand sometimes  That someday you've lost your dream. But their time has gone, Wiped from the earth  Shadows of time. And there'll be no more dreams, Illusions are gone  And no hesitations. But times are changing,  And it's not your bloody turn. We'll have our own chances for metal we were born! And let them call us savage, they’re no power here  We'll go out and play and then just have more beer!  Life for money, Love for money, They are wasted and they're damned! But we'll never sell our souls  For this glamour paradise. Not all in this life is for money  Let our music be the proof  Take away that life long pain  All we did was not in vain!  But their time has gone, Wiped from the earth  Shadows of time. And there'll be no more dreams, Illusions are gone  And no hesitations.

Loki 05:49
lyrics

Loki You live between the worlds as old legends tell  You change you shape, you know the spells.  You've found the truth, you know what's coming damn too well  The end of this and all the worlds.  Releasing out just one lost name.  A misty face just barely true.  You're wrecking chaos  Fomenting malice!  You're quick like fire  Disturbing the peace.  Lies are like mist  Just shadows in blue.  You disappear  Dissolving in the rain.  The ages fly like arrows for cunning trickster god  Mischief and chaos didn't pay.  Forgotten, chained to the rock and left to rot...  Nobody takes this pain away.  It seems that all is said and done  But you still have a cunning plan.  You're wrecking chaos  Fomenting malice!  You're quick like fire  Disturbing the peace.  Lies are like mist  Just shadows in blue.  You disappear  Dissolving in the rain.  Among the tribe of all the gods  Are you the one who pulls the strings?  You're the father of the wolf  And of the serpent of the sea.  You're the same as they are  And yet you feel you don't belong.  Deceiving deities just for fun  For you and them it's just a game.  No dark and no light  For one thousand years  You 're fighting like hell  No resting in peace.  Just go heal your wounds,  Strike first or just die!  One glorious hour  You turn into dust.

The Toothless Wolf 06:25
lyrics

The Toothless Wolf Ever dreamt to be the fastest guitar man, Playing BC Rich as fast as no one can? Shredding scales all day long like a psychopath But instead of Waken, your place is on the couch! Life's not an easy game of chess. You hate those who stole your success. And you let yourself to be destroyed But pretend you're strong enough to fight. Hey, listen, you don't like all this rock! And all you do just talk Of bullshit stuff and nonsense. You're pointless! Hate brings you nothing good, You're just a toothless wolf. Your life is just a mess. You're pointless! Now you understand your midlife crisis 's not so far. And another string has snapped on your guitar. Mortgage, taxes, bills and latest fashion trends, Hipster fancy clothes, latest fancy brands. Now, since your childhood is gone. No deal in music, all is said and done! You're nothing and your life is none An enemy would come up handy here! Hey, listen, you don't like all this rock! And all you do just talk of cash and all the savings. It's pointless! Hate brings you nothing good, You're just a toothless wolf Your life is just a mess You're a loser! Hey listen, you're just a toothless wolf You don't like this rock! Herbivorous predator! And you just talk. The years go on and on You're life is all messed up But it's all just a fuss You're a loser!

Somebody’s Life 04:48
lyrics

Somebody’s Life Parallels and meridians  Chasing the light of dawn.  Searching for the new frontiers  Your spirit is gone.  What's meant for you  will only stay with you. But like the shadows on the glass  The mysteries vague mist. Somebody's Life  Fragile dreams. Somebody's life  Is yours forever. This weird film  Your destiny. You will be there  Inside  Till the end. Strange ways, and strange roads,  And "interesting times". No yesterday and no tomorrow.  But still there' the same wall.  Invisible companion  It always stays with you.  What are you aiming for,  Behind this line?  Somebody's Life  Fragile days. Somebody's Life  Through days  And ages. This weird dream  Your destiny. Somebody's Life  Act out  Till the end. Somebody's Life  Fragile dreams. Somebody's life  Is yours forever! This weird film  Your destiny. You will be there  Inside  Till the end.  Somebody's Life... Somebody's Life… This weird dream  Your destiny! Somebody's Life  Act out till the end.

Sinister Piper 03:59
lyrics

Sinister Piper Will judgments from armchair experts Teach you the ultimate truth... His cradle stands close to his grave and It stands on his own way. Borrow from those, who give you a coin And run from them through the mist and the rain. Or it will be too late to run Not from yourself and the others too. Go fast, as fast as you possibly can? Or else you stay for good in this dirt You'll lose the better part of yourself And you will not like what is left! Comfort and career, be welcome! A tiny cog in this business. The wheels of it killing all hopes You're lost in the mirror of visions. Borrow from those, who give you a coin And run from them through the mist and the rain. Or it will be too late to run Not from yourself and the others too. Go fast, as fast as you possibly can? Or else you stay for good in this dirt You'll lose the better part of yourself And you will not like what is left! If you're a keyboard crusader. Remember: the windmills have power! The roads are mastered by walking You leave your footprints behind. What makes you so sinister, The piper that leads us away? Like rats, like children powerless Into the last crusade… Belief in dawn is unshakable Even in long darkest nights, Hey, don't be so sinister! Let the rats go away! Let all us run away...

Personages of a Damned Dream 05:51
lyrics

Personages of a Damned Dream You're living your life like an old silent film  But lights go off and it's dark on the screen… Your world 's being smashed from the yesterday's papers  Lies of from these pages give you the light. No stars, No tears, Question it  You'll get a punch… No future and  No yesterday Just we  The soldiers  Of these damned days. This is epitaph. That’s the epitaph! There shines crownwork of the city of dreams. Easy to be a wall but hard to be the wind! Wind is the culprit, he'll burn in the fire  He is unwanted  In the kingdom of lies. Where there's no stars, Where there's no tears  And the sun beams  Are seldom here. No future and  No yesterday… We are  The dissidents  Of the bygone days. Imposed are ideas  For life alternatives  The deeper contradictions  More petty is the game. I'm dissident aggressor! My head is the processor.  It has a lot of nonsense  But no kindness. Silently broke all the world of your dreams,  You're falling down - but it's too late to care.  Easy to be a wall but hard to be the wind - But It’s too late to decide that your fate was wrong.  No stars…  No tears. Keeping silence  Avert their eyes. No future and  No yesterday. We're  The personages  Of the damned dream. This is epitaph. That’s the epitaph!

Heading for the Oblivion 04:08

Heading for the Oblivion We surf the world, We like to wonder in the dark. We see the light But not inside. Answers We seek In darkest days. And what Doesn't exist Is meaningful. Start, Search And fail... And start, Search, Fail... Go through the time To stars that are fading This dream Is calling us. Grey boring days Oblivion heading We are just pushed By fate. We showcase The other people victories. We want the sense, Get no replies. Go through the time To stars that are fading This dream Is calling us. Grey boring days Oblivion heading We are just pushed By fate. When the world just goes insane Light and dark will dance again, There's no way out. Go through the time To stars that are fading This dream Is calling us. Grey boring days Oblivion heading We are just pushed By fate. When the world just goes insane Light and dark will dance again, There's no way out… Wall of silence will rise again, Quick as oblivion. Rising high from darkest deep Behind our backs.

On My Watch 10:21

On My Watch I stay here all day long  And wait. I wait  And days just fade away. Stand ready for the loneliness,  But just the trail of former days  I stand and watch as time decays. Hey! I'm here! I'll be right here anyway  I just exist. Hey! I live! I live, but this is just  Imperative! On my watch. This war is far  From happy end.  And I can not  Be saved, my friend. And happiness is changed  Just cold lonely internet  And loneliness is what you get… Hey! I'm here! I'll be right here anyway  I just exist. Hey! I live! I live, but this is just  Imperative! On my watch! We thought that life was  Just a game. With many masks you feel the same. And getting lost in this  Kaleidoscope of troubled years  Let's go see the dawn of tears.  Hey! I'm here! I'll be right here anyway  I just exist. Hey! I live! I live, but this is just  Imperative! On my watch!

Jörmungandr We're sailing through the roaring waters  Destination - lost!  Sail away  As long as you have powers  Into maelstrom. Misty waters  Hide the deadly movement  Bringing certain death! Looking for deliverance in darkness  Someone throws the net!  Jörmungandr - malice and poison, Jörmungandr your words are frozen, Jörmungandr will lead us all away! Jörmungandr gets somewhere close  Watches you with deadly wrath. Jörmungandr the serpent of the world!  Deepness  Hides the ultimate beginning  And the end of times!  On the surface you will see just nothing  But the heavy waves. But remember all the ancient omens  They are not just myths. Midgard Serpent sleeping in the darkness  Evil, strong and quick! Jörmungandr - malice and poison, Jörmungandr your words are frozen, Jörmungandr will lead us all away! Jörmungandr gets somewhere close  Watches you with deadly wrath. Jörmungandr the serpent of the world!  Jörmungandr the serpent of the world,  Jörmungandr the serpent of the world!  Ouroboros has curled up, Biting up on his tail. Light and dark are just dancing  The Universe won’t fail! Evil child of the cunning Loki  Waits for Ragnarock! But it's not yet the time for the battle No snake, just cat! Cat! Acrid breath will wait until the times  Of destruction come. We are not supposed to discover  Secrets of the game. Internet - malice and poison! Internet - your words are frozen.  Jörmungandr will lead us all away! Jörmungandr gets somewhere close  Watches you with deadly wrath. Jörmungandr the serpent of the world!  The serpent of the world!

about

Heavy/Speed/Power metal act HOLY DRAGONS is ready to return with a new release!

“Jörmungandr - The Serpent of the World” will be the 16th album by the Kazakh band, the 5th released under the wings of Pitch Black Records!

The album’s 12 songs - far from a “radio edit” approach - gradually capture the listener with an arsenal made up of speed, melodies and solos. This is the second album with guitarist Thora Thorheim also handling vocal duties where she uses her voice as an addition to the instrumental background in such a way that it is quite unique and different from today’s usual female metal vocals (opera or growling style). Thorheim sings in a rather unrefined and harsh manner, making songs more raw and explosive and certainly more old-school.
