Our first hard rock song is featuring the stunning vocals of Serouj Guidanian. It is telling the story of returning to one's home town after a long absence and the impressions, memories and feelings coming with it.

lyrics

Coming to my hometown
After twenty-something years
Fighting the emotions down
Holding back the tears.

A four-star’s now where we had lived,
Only few old buildings stayed,
And there clearly is a rift,
Art is now where there was trade.

What’s left is
Mortar, bricks and memories.
It’s only
Mortar, bricks and memories.

I don’t cry tears of crocodiles
No, it makes me really sad
It’s just a couple of square miles
And a childhood mostly glad.

What’s left is
Mortar, bricks and memories.
It’s only
Mortar, bricks and memories.
Mortar, bricks and memories.
I don’t care for
Mortar, bricks and memories.

Everything looks different
yet somehow it’s the same.
I notice the familiar scent
I know from where it came.

My childhood friends are scattered wide,
It happened I can’t tell you how.
But looking a the brighter side,
In my playground they serve sushi now.

What’s left is
Mortar, bricks and memories.
It’s only
Mortar, bricks and memories.
Mortar, bricks and memories.
I don’t care for
Mortar, bricks and memories.
