lyrics

On a windy day in autumn, across the tawny hue, there rest a lion doing what lions do. When yonder came an archer with his arrows two. One he'd had a long time and the other fairly new. Shiny sharp and new. The archer approached the lion. Wet now, from the mourning dew. The lion yawning widely under the acacia's bloom. The archer and the lion. When the wind was still and solemn, the archer let an arrow loose. The old trusty stalwart flying straight and true. It found it's home in lion flesh but the beast didn't move. This puzzled the hunter and a second arrow flew. He knew the shot had found purchase but again lacked any proof. The archer approached the lion, cautious and confused. A heap of lifeless strength, it's mane a tangled plume. But as he turned it over, he quickly learned the truth. The archer and the lion.

Reaching For The Light
by Demonio

supported by 17 fans who also own “The Archer and The Lion”

I've been a fan of Demonio since their first album, and this one is even better! The music has a lot more blues and psychedelic influence this time around, and it pays off big time. The guitar has a lot of distortion and reverb which makes the riffs feel like you are traveling through time and space. And the bass holds down a solid groove in the background to keep the music moving forward. This is some great fuzzy music and if you are into underground heavy psych, definitely pick this one up. revengebymagick

Original sound, ideas and riffage. Add great vocals and perfect musicianship and you get one hell of an album. These guys are going to be 'zeppelin' big soon. Very Metal
