With an marvelous animated music video premiere yesterday, rising father/son power-house VEIL OF THE SERPENT just released a brand new single entitled “Into The Moon“. This heartbreaking metal ballad is about a man who enjoys staring at the moon. As he slowly grows older and the opportunities start to fade away, he’s dreaming about all that he could do in life. The music video picks up on this story in an appropriately creative way.

“Into The Moon” Lyrics:
I stare endlessly at the moon
dreaming of the life I could have
but I’m too afraid to make a change
too afraid to live and laugh
I raise my glass to my old friend
the friend of many since the dawn of man
say cheers to her beautiful face
and to the past of the human race
I dream of a new place every day
but I stay here anyway
never moving, never changing
just staring into the moon
I could be sailor or an architect
maybe a marshal chasing those hell bent
saving the world or destroying it first
a million choices at worst, a million choices…
into the moon, into the moon
all I’m doing is staring, staring…
so much potential, so much hope
it slowly fades away day after day
I see my future becoming my present
I never thought it would happen this way
ten years slowly creep on
envisioning the life for which I pray
why can’t I act? why can’t I grow?
only god can know
I dream of a new place every day
but I stay here anyway
never moving, never changing
just staring into the moon
I could be a lawyer or a construction worker
maybe even a spy or translator
saving the world or destroying it first
a million choices at worst, a million choices…
into the moon, into the moon
all I’m doing is staring, staring…
and as my mom reads me another book
I can’t help think of the life that could have been
out of this bed and able to move
is wishing for freedom my next life such a sin?
Such a sin? Such a sin.
I just want to feel alive, I just want to feel alive
please god, save me from this hell I feel, hell I feel…
| About the band: VEIL OF THE SERPENT is a multi-national heavy metal band that was founded in 2021 by guitarist Gene and his son Felix. The two mooted the idea of working together in 2020. One year later they found a very talented singer in JD Stafford who completed the band’s line-up. The goal of the band is to forge dark melodies, gripping rhythms and powerful vocals into one sound. While writing and performing good music is one part, creating and adhering to a marketing and business strategy is an equally important element to a band’s success. From the beginning VEIL OF THE SERPENT attached great importance to these components. Visuals, management and the band’s marketing are handled by drummer Felix, while singer JD Stafford is working on the lyrical content and guitarist Gene is taking care of the band’s sound as main music writer and recording engineer. All of their tracks are self-produced. |
