lyrics

Across the frozen mountains,
 Across the burning land, 
A realm of golden towers 
She rules with sword in hand.
Her hair of brilliant ebon; 
Her lips like blood-red wine; 
Her heart as black as iron; 
For her we ride and die ….
Her heart as black as iron; 
For her we ride and die.

In courts of gilded sunset,
On ramparts of red stone,
From halls of dusky twilight,
She reigns from carven throne.
Her body veiled in shadow;
Her eyes with witch-light shine;
Her voice a broken promise;
For her we live to die ….
Her voice a broken promise;
For her we live to die.

Beneath the frozen starlight,
Across the burning sand,
She drives us on to darkness
We answer her command.
Our lives are yours to call on;
Our hearts forever thine;
Our souls we swear forever;
For you we ride and die ….
Our souls are hers forever; 
For her we ride and die.

about

Carl Edlund Anderson Bogotá, Colombia

Formed in 1971 ;) Carl grew up on a musical diet of folk, jazz, and classical music, before succumbing to the heady glories of rock-and/or-roll in a teenage daze. Thereafter, he gigged, wrote and recorded songs, and generally jammed out in various bands in the US and UK. Now based in Colombia, South America, he continues working on new music ... some of which appear here! :) ... more

Parallax - Single
by Espada Negra with Fiamma Fatale Tafur

I also play in Espada Negra on this piece of straight-up, Hawkwind-inspired space-rock, with guest drums from Fiamma Tafur recorded at by Gigi Isaza at Supernova Estudio (Medellin, Colombia). Carl Edlund Anderson

Astral Visions II - Live 00-05
by Dark Sun and the Rising Telepaths

Dark Sun are, in general, the finest space rock band no one's heard. One might recognize the Hawkwind and Floyd covers on this album, but I'd give top honors to their original track "Iskariot". Carl Edlund Anderson

RockTzars & RawQueens
by Ohmaigad

A ripping dose of Colombian stoner rock from my friends Fiamma Fatale Tafur and Guido Isaza (both also of the band Stoner Love, and of Supernova Estudio in Medellin, Colombia). Carl Edlund Anderson
