The Rooster 02:48
You can see it’s all around Our nature of enclosure we decided to bound That’s the land i was born and raised That’s the very old piece of wood we all day praise Sun in the morning feels like’s getting hot Agriculture for the children as their only shot Crashed in the evening cause it is too much Carrying on with al the jumble until loosing touch That rooster at dawn up on the ceiling That rooster at dawn singing on singing on That rooster at dawn up on the ceiling That rooster at dawn singing on singing on She’s my dream but I can compete With all the pack of true believers kneeling at her feet There’s something I can’t articulate Something that our forefathers had banned straight I am wondering what’s behind the fence Confrontation with my people keeps getting tense Mother and father, they just don’t know All the places in the world that I dream to go! That rooster at dawn up on the ceiling That rooster at dawn singing on singing on That rooster at dawn up on the ceiling That rooster at dawn singing on singing on What’s the song I heard that time It was all about the freedom of the human mind Here the music is always the same It is all about the duty and to feeling shame Like the songs life’s is on repeat putting work and praise the lord for something to eat Different day with the same song Waking up to a fucking rooster screaming on That rooster at dawn up on the ceiling That rooster at dawn singing on singing on That rooster at dawn up on the ceiling That rooster at dawn singing on singing on

Way, ways to circle out Ways to drag about Like the devil Toys, toys to break it now Toys to break it now From the cradle Loud, they’re talking loud They are screaming out Praise the bible Doors, nothing coming out Nothing coming out They had it shattered Straight from the cradle As in the people’s faith As in the bible When the people are torn They think nothing it’s wrong Choose, time to give it in Time to obey the man Praisin’ gospels Round, they will circle you out They will cut it out from the apostles Those, tell to give it in Tell to give you in Want no trouble Straight from the cradle As in the people’s faith As in the bible When the people are torn They think nothing it’s wrong

The Train 02:51
Running is like dreaming but you’re flowin’ with it Watching from a distance that old life that I quit This wagon seems to fly out, I’m kerosene This train is my new kingdom I don’t want any king What the road will tell me I am ready to hear What those streets will give me I will take with no fear There is some truth in every chance that I get There is some revelation in every stake that I bet And everytime, And everytime it takes my breath away And everytime, And everytime it takes my breath away Stories matter only if you can risk it all Life’s bazaar is open and I am ready to sell I was living on a bug life decided for me Now i am finding on my own what it means to be free 
 And everytime, And everytime it takes my breath away And everytime, And everytime it takes my breath away And everytime, And everytime it takes my breath away And everytime, And everytime it takes my breath away Going away, Going Away It takes my breath away

Coming from all the side of the country people are united now Come along, dive it trough, this is not a brawl Is not a sterile representation of what shouldn’t or should be These are life’s of the people, is more than you can see We are not here to redeem the sins of our grandfathers long gone We’re here to represent ourselves, we are holding strong We are rebels and we are brothers and we will stay still So, will se how many of us you will have to kill John Henry days are down I can feel that the time is now John Henry days are down I can feel that the time is now These are the people at our side And they’ll come, they will come they will come And will be marching tighter and we overcome Will overcome the apathy of the racial division We’ll state that we are here to stay cause we have the vision You can be sure we are one, that we are not alone We understand that the time is now, that will overcome That will overcome, that will overcome That will overcome, that will overcome John Henry days are down I can feel that the time is now John Henry days are down I can feel that the time is now And if you find yourself in the gutter, you can count on me If you seen yourself neglected, you can set you free Like john henry fought the machine, with his bare strong hands We will embrace this fight we know that never ends We’ll be hitting streets and open roads, and sounding hard We’ll be fighting the power firmly with no regards We’ll be fighting hard, we’ll be screaming loud! We’ll be fighting hard, we’ll be screaming loud! We’ll be fighting hard, we’ll be screaming loud! John Henry days are down I can feel that the time is now John Henry days are down I can feel that the time is now

Motorsound 03:11
Your wheels pushing down the ground How sweet is your motor sound Yours truly, my only friend Through the road that never ends Ways that I rode you Ways that I rode you Ways that I rode you I can't take it anymore First rode back in 89 Never crashed down the line Talking always with myself Doesn't move with no one else Lonesome riders through the trails Waking up the rattlesnakes Scratches on the right side Lonesome road is black and mine Ways that I rode you Ways that I rode you Ways that I rode you I can't take it anymore Early a dawn, started driving on Hundred seventeen, till the day is done Right now, I'm scratching my eyes Help me feeling awake, till the day will die Shapes and forms of the interstate Are a litany for not losing faith Weeks, months, years passed by Early every dawn, till the day I die Early a dawn, started driving on Interstate, till the day is done Right now, I'm scratching my eyes I can't take it anymore First rode back in 89 Never crashed down the line Doesn't move with no one else Talking always with myself Lonesome riders through the trails Waking up the rattlesnakes Scratches on the right side Lonesome road is black and mine Ways that I rode you Ways that I rode you Ways that I rode you I can't take it anymore Anymore

Slowly coming down Watch me passing through your eyes Don’t turn on the light, just let it die Slowly coming down, open doors into your head There’s no pain, no anger, it’s not normal it’s not mad Slowly coming down No more answers you have to find You don’t need no worries, there’s nothing behind Slowly coming down Until he’ll wisper to your soul Coming close to you he’ll stare your face and make is call Coming, coming Slowly coming down Coming, coming Slowly coming down

Tempted 02:49
I can try, I can try Leaning for a kiss Breaking down my barriers in a hit or miss Big boy there, that would be my act Overcompensating that i’ll live in dark I was on a leash for most of my old life Told i had to doing nothing to maintain me safe Years passed by, and safe meant only bore That’s why now I am confident to lose control I was lured by the devil And jezebel is my name I was lured by the devil And for this I feel no shame I was told, i was told Sinners go to hell Then i will burning slowly with stories to tell Big boy there, that would be my act Overcompensating that i’ll live in dark I’ll be mad, i’ll be glad To burn my flesh and bones To spit on face to doom and piss on stepping stones Big boy there, this is now my act Here to represent that I don’t give a fuck I was lured by the devil And jezebel is my name I was lured by the devil And for this I feel no shame And I will do the same And there is nothing wrong And I feel loose myself a bit And there is nothing wrong And I will do the same And there is nothing wrong And I feel loose myself a bit And there is nothing wrong And I will do the same And there is nothing wrong And I feel loose myself a bit And there is nothing wrong I was lured by the devil And jezebel is my name I was lured by the devil And for this I feel no shame I was lured by the devil And jezebel is my name I was lured by the devil And for this I feel no shame

Jupiter 03:34
Straight road crossing the desert Seven miles away Pocket full of dust and stones Seven signs a day I will keep my skin burning I will be the stray Seven darker days coming Fate that fades away Fate that fades away Fate that fades away Fate that fades away Fate that fades away And i can point straight to jupiter Dragging down my cross I don’t have to swear to god For every mass i miss Cause i buried a secret here For my darkest days For the moment, i’ll be stray Fate that fades away Fate that fades away Fate that fades away Fate that fades away Fate that fades away Oh, oh! life’s full of troubles Oh, oh! the fate that fades away Oh, oh! life’s full of troubles Oh, oh! the fate that fades away Oh, oh! life’s full of troubles Oh, oh! the fate that fades away Oh, oh! life’s full of troubles Oh, oh! the fate that fades away

I can see he’s coming Spread his wings over the lake Through the winds all roaring That are keeping me awake Landing strong as thunder But his elegance is a bliss So I start to wonder What is keeping him from leave It becomes the truth When I stand his side Home is never new He keeps coming And it feels like he’s falling But he’s ever in control And I know he’s watching All my pain from up above What if i had feathers? I will spread my wings and leave We will fly together Overland and across the sea It becomes the truth When I stand his side Home is never new He keeps coming by And I wonder why And I wonder why And i wonder why He keeps coming

Home 05:42
Travelling is a hard life if you're going to deep If you're searching stories so much richer to keep When you found the gold but you are heading too far Keep your eyes open Don't loose sight of your star Gone away Gone away Coming down Coming down home Coming down Coming down home If I dig a trench here, I'll be changing no one If I build a castle will be only to shun To shun the memories coming from where I belong To don't have to listen that voice calling so strong Gone away Gone away Coming down Coming down home Coming down Coming down home Coming down home I will growing new seeds Coming down home It will be new for me Coming down home I will start it from scratch Coming down home Sprouts are starting to hatch Gone away Coming down Coming down home Coming down Coming down home

about

King Howl's new album, titled "Homecoming", represents a new chapter in the band's stylistic universe, spurring King Howl's trademark sound while mixing it with new compositional and sound influences. A mix of blues, stoner, psychedelia, and classic rock that paints the soundscape of an on-the-road story set in 1960s America, a narrative plot that permeates the entire work, accompanied by a constant sonic evolution, always on the road. Thus, King Howl returns to the theme of travel, the band's favorite concept from the beginning. In this story, a young protagonist escapes from a rural setting witnessed by the blues sounds of opener "The Rooster" and rock'n'roll anthem "From the Cradle," followed by the beginning of the journey on the Kyussian railroad of "The Train." This leads to the nineties echoed Spoken-word of "John Henry Days" to the classic rock sounds of "Motorsound," a true ode to the big truck engine's vibrations. Consequently, the sonic journey flows into the oblivion of "Slowly Coming Down." Here, doom and psychedelia carry a dark foreboding. "Tempted," on the other hand, is a successful mix of country blues and stoner rock, an influence more and more present in the desertic "Jupiter," a track inspired by one of the characters in writer James Anderson's novel "The Never-Open Desert Diner." At the album's heart, the theme of travel and change symbolizes the animal world with the powerful "The Great Blue Heron." This song is marked by the sound of the Hammond organ, which makes the piece even more granitic. "Homecoming" then pays homage to the great Rolling Stones with the sixties classic "Gimme Shelter." Then it concludes this incredible journey with "Home," an angry but hopeful homecoming. An epic in music, a round trip of growth and change, of damnation, redemption, and rebirth.
