Losing Life 06:54
The victim of a flare called forbidden curiosity With the addiction, create a life of hell I can see us changing becoming the reality Of the olden tales reflection in me A sea of smoke surrounds me I breathe it in to clearly see The fires lit right in my hand Something’s burning up inside Tied in my destructive desire A fading cry Inside Tied in my destructive desire Mercy neglected and denied What once for recreation becoming a fatal tragedy With the addiction, create a life of hell I can see us changing becoming the reality Of the olden tales reflection in me A sea of smoke surrounds me I breathe it in to clearly see The fires lit right in my hand Something’s burning up inside Tied in my destructive desire A fading cry Inside Tied in my destructive desire Mercy neglected and denied I see they’ve come to take me to a place for the damned A culprit of arson I try to hide Running out of breath and I am Giving up and I’m done, there’s no getting away

Wheel of fortune keeps turning, stars one day will shine for me World so crowded filled with dreams, still I hold on, I believe So many times, I’ve tried and failed, picked up the pieces and what’s left of me Times are hard but they will turn around, I keep holding on and I believe Let me be the wind of change Somewhere high is where I want to be Let me, be the wind of change Lights they fade as I leave behind my home and what I used to be I will go to where this road will take me, a stranger with unknown destiny Let me be the wind of change Somewhere high is where I want to be Let me, be the wind of change

Locked inside a prison with no walls Please release me Running after the things that never mattered I kept you waiting Now you’re gone away I feel there’s no escape Now you’re gone away Like the setting sun All alone I burn away Would you take me Take me back to the start Light up my darkened heart Take me back to the start Light up my darkened heart Or let it fall apart You’re buried within these stones And I’m ready to let you go How do I make up for all the lost time As I cover you up with dirt Every breath that you take away from here Every breath that I let go A burden that is here to stay Why couldn’t I let it go All that was lost once is found Breathe again to see it Walls that surround me are burnt to the ground Breathe again I know we’ll never be the same I try to make a false hope I know we’ll never be the same I try, would you take me Take me back to the start Light up my darkened heart Take me back to the start Light up my darkened heart Or let it fall apart You’re buried within these stones And I’m ready to let you go How do I make up for all the lost time As I cover you up with dirt Every breath that you take away from here Every breath that I let go A burden that is here to stay Why couldn’t I let it go

Battle Cry 05:18
You dare invade my land Kill Gods chosen men To arms! End waits to begin You let the devil pull your strings His one-eyed servant brings An army of unbelievers I yell out the battle cry, millions ready to fight and die To make a restless ocean of blood, two tides collide When you hear my battle cry When you hear my battle cry, see your death inside my eyes It’s time you meet your maker I see you behind the rest, smiling at our plunder and unrest I slay another in HIS name, it won’t be long when you are next When you hear my battle cry When you hear my battle cry, see your death inside my eyes It’s time you meet your maker When you hear my battle cry When you hear my battle cry, see your death inside my eyes It’s time you meet your maker

Sins Remain 08:23
Like a beast you fell, bleeding away Staining the leaves that tried to ease the pain O soul, you must pay the toll It’s your heart that has always deceived Everything you believed And the death of the sinner is all the same Begging for forgiveness but it’s not in his hands and now As his vision begins to fade Gone are his memories but only his sins remain Now the stained move on, they carry on With a burden that tried to hide, no one would ever find O soul, this torment is eternal Conviction has perceived And the life of the stained is now inane Concealing his existence just to hide the pain and now As he puts on another face Gone are his memories but only this one remains Sky cries while you hold the pain inside Sent for you to wash it away The barren soil of this grave cursed till the end of time Yet you stand a symbol of hope for the rest You wait for him to meet his fate But it’s not his time now Wait for him to meet his fate You wait for him to meet his fate But it’s not his time now Wait for him to meet his fate You WAIT!

about

From Pakistan, the unlikeliest of places, we see a heavy metal band that's creating quite a stir in the region. Black Hour are all set to release their sophomore debut album via Rearts Records, presenting five epic songs with immense soul and sublime musicianship. Musically comparable to the classic traits of Iron Maiden as well as the modern soft improvisations of a band like Sentenced, the band forges a sound that is bound to hold appeal to any metal fan, old or new. Long, flowing compositions are spiced up with gritty vocals and punctuated by widely lauded harmonised dual solos which make the songs difficult to forget in any case. Impeccably produced and presented in a standard-setting quality, here's heavy metal music that will give you goosebumps all over. The time has come. Black Hour will strike.
