lyrics

I am like the devil
Looking up at you from levels far below
Was it love that cast me out?
Or was it doubt the kind that springs from fear?
If I earned a second chance
And won a brief forgiving glance from you
I’d be sure to fail again
And so there’s no one I can blame but me

Leave me to my ring of fire
As long as I can see you higher
Safe here in my sad desire
I feed off these flames

Beauty was my master
And she led me to disaster and decay
And you are a quiver
Full of arrows that deliver shafts of pain
Once I was the prince of light
And gazed upon eternal night and cried
Now I am the man you pity
Roaming out across this city without peace

Leave me to my ring of fire
As long as I can see you higher
Safe here in my sad desire
I feed off these flames

about

The High Dials Montréal, Québec

The High Dials are an indie pop band from Montreal.
While their melodic sensibility, harmonies and jangling guitars owe an obvious debt to the 60s and power pop groups, they also draw upon shoegaze, new wave and folk sounds to create rich and varied albums. Their most recent album “Primitive Feelings” is a predatory summer mix of lo-fi grooves, acid rock guitars and razor-sharp humour. ... more
