lyrics
They died standing up,
frozen with palms at their sides.
A second December,
no less bitter than the first.
Further and further beneath,
dreams decay,
And days flew by like grains of sand,
with no one to catch them in outstretched hand.
One by one the walls came down ... never to be built again...
Turned from the pain
A body of empty regret
Faced in the end
With what you could not forget
The shadows grew longer against the old stone walls,
and the ox refused to pull the wagon forth.
The wellspring which had turned the hills to green,
dried up and bled them gray again.
Time tugged harder against the revolving wheels,
until they were silent and spun no more.
A quiet descended from the heavens and covered the land,
and buried our acts in the veils of the past.
Turned from the pain
A body of empty regret
Faced in the end
With what you could not forget
Turned from the pain
A body of empty regret
Resigned in the end
To what you would not forget
frozen with palms at their sides.
A second December,
no less bitter than the first.
Further and further beneath,
dreams decay,
And days flew by like grains of sand,
with no one to catch them in outstretched hand.
One by one the walls came down ... never to be built again...
Turned from the pain
A body of empty regret
Faced in the end
With what you could not forget
The shadows grew longer against the old stone walls,
and the ox refused to pull the wagon forth.
The wellspring which had turned the hills to green,
dried up and bled them gray again.
Time tugged harder against the revolving wheels,
until they were silent and spun no more.
A quiet descended from the heavens and covered the land,
and buried our acts in the veils of the past.
Turned from the pain
A body of empty regret
Faced in the end
With what you could not forget
Turned from the pain
A body of empty regret
Resigned in the end
To what you would not forget

Behind The Sun Rehovot, Israel
Behind the Sun play the heavy music of the northern desert, a storm of sound cutting the wasteland to reveal ancient spirits
and modern madness.
Behind the Sun was formed on the edges of Israel’s vast Negev desert. The music and lyrics on their debut album speak of their personal trials and tribulations living in this heavenly but harsh land.

Second Coming of Heavy Chapter One - Geezer/Borracho
by Geezer/Borrachosupported by 16 fans who also own “Second December”
Are Geezer the heaviest heavy blues band out there? Probably, but if you’re unsure, just listen to these four songs and decide for yourself. And while your eyelids get heavy from all that smoke, Borracho have the cowbell to lead you home. This is a stoner rock goldmine, folks, so bet in the van whilst you can. We got nine more of these trips to go!

A great album from a great band, this one is a bit more straight up hard rock than the more psychedelic later albums.
