Belgian singer-songwriter WOLF VAN WYMEERSH released his excellent solo debut album The Early Years two years ago. A couple of singles followed and now with new track SECOND COMING he offers his first music of the year.
‘Second Coming’ is a hauntingly powerful anthem that delves deep into the shadows of the human psyche. “Sick like a whore, mad like a dog,” Wolf exclaims, capturing the despair of a world on the brink of the abyss. But amid the chaos, there is a glimmer of hope, a refusal to succumb to the darkness that threatens to consume us all.
TUTV: One of the most poignant compositions Vanwymeersch ever wrote. Capricious, bone-chilling, emotionally intense and vocally stirring. The evocative acoustic first part swells slowly but surely into a wall-of-sound eruption that emphasises the dark dynamics at play here. Second Coming is an erratic mind-twister, a striking stroke.
In the 5 of the morning
In the 6 of the moon
is where your 7 died
’cause the 7 lied
I was a morning child
and now I’m a night
howling at the moon
not a second too soon
’cause the beast has arrived
we all know his name
it’s getting very vile now
it’s getting really late
I’ve sick like a whore
mad like a dog
oh my love, I know that the time is short
oh my love, I know that your sun is bound to fade
The beast has arrived
His number we all share
In the code of the money
In the bankers’ mistakes
The beast has arrived now
we all know his name
It’s turned out very sick now
it’s getting really late
sick like a whore
mad like a dog
oh my love, I know that the time is short
sick like a whore
mad like a dog
oh my love, the rumours grow that your sun is bound to fade
for your friends are arriving but at the wrong gate
where the priest are conspiring for a new money fate
The beast has arrived
in the industry of war
in the industry of poverty
In the bankers’ mistakes
The beast has arrived
we all know his name
it’s getting really vile now
it’s getting really late
