No time to stand up on a hill
And build a farm on lands we till
No time to count the trees we pass
Or pour some more, or mow the grass
No time to pat each other's backs
And ready them for known attacks
No time to measure those humble chests
And tell them how they fail the tests
For lands we till and hills we break
Were never really ours to take
The grass we roll, the trees we pass
All, and each, weren't meant to last
The backs we pat, the chests we beat
All destined for a crying defeat
Cause all will burn and all will drown
When love forever leaves the town
And all has burned and all has drowned
And love forever has left the town

A stoner-rock opera with dystopian themes, the Italian band's third LP fuses apocalyptic fury with psychedelic splendor. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 29, 2023
The psychedelic escapades of mr. Harlon and his flock of dead crows are a new discovery for me, but one of my favourites in the past few years. Dark exploration of the human state, but with a tint of hope and determination. Vanja
