The Couch King thumbnail
The Couch King Dirk's guitars soar like pegasus flies with mythical rocking intensity while Giacomo sings like hero a hero on his epic journey. Dirk takes us back to the time when metal was king as his self scribed lyrics recount the legends of our times. Another monumental album in the heartscore catalogue!

Medusa’s head Raped by the god of the sea Beheaded by her enemy She was all alone Rage of a woman’s soul Turned into a brutal ghoul Her look turns men to stone Medusa’s head was cut away But her glare still found its way Medusa’s head! Medusa’s head! Caused by Poseidon’s force Dead she gave birth to a horse Riding to the sky Snakes around her head Soon you would be dead Don’t look into her eyes She was beheaded so fast Cause Perseu’s weapons were too vast Sandals, helm and sword Holding the shield like a mirror He was able to beat her Put her head in a sack and corded it
2.
King George will fall White clouds across the western sky We ride and ride with the wind We hold our sabers tight They point towards their king Hit them hard Think on your scarves Today King George will fall! Stab them dead And cleave their heads Today King George will fall! We hit the first line, they can not defend When both armies collide We mow all their limbs like grass The grimreaper is mowing so fast Now King George is near, we are smelling all his fear All women of his soldiers shed tears His crown falls to the ground His head is rolling around

How I should make love to you A tender kiss upon your brow You raise your eyebrows saying „Wow“ I touch the ankle of your hand Still waiting for your next command I have no idea What you’re expecting from me I want to be a little tender But in your eyes I can see That you want much more of my love Oh, baby, is this true? Your hand gets high and higher, baby You never tell me, how I should make love to you So now I get a little braver And place a kiss upon your lips But you right start a little chase You use your tongue and wave your hips Feeling hot and hotter But you are looking still cold There are some things about the women Which my mama never told Now I understand what you say First time you’re smiling at me While my hand looks for its way And now you really will see

Kill all the Danes Old England was devastated Wild vikings stormed the towns on England’s shore The vikings came from Denmark Led by the king Sweyn Forkbeard they rose With their dragon ships they stormed and killed all women and newborns All that defense of England was in vain So the king said „Soldiers, let us kill all the Danes!“ The English king was afraid of the danish men in England, who menaced Feared for his life and throne, so he ordered the death of all Danes on his own On the Saint Bryces Day many vikings were slaughtered, stabbed and burned But the king was not aware of Gunhilde, the sister of Sweyn Forkbeard She and her husband died and the mighty king of vikings was hurt So he took revenge, invaded England and occupied the throne.

Bodo league 03:15
Bodo league Trust our head, Syngman Rhee You must be reeducated All your leftwing attitude Well deserves to be hated Join the Bodo League Learn for your life in the west Join the Bodo League Or we thrust a bayonet through your chest! Thank you, boy For joining our league You have chosen the right way But it was all for nothing for sure We execute you anyway Leftists are killed Even twelve year old girls We break your backs with our rifles Tied together you drown in the sea With infiltrators we don’t trifle
7.
Greta 02:25
Greta Greta, you’re looking young, but talking like an old Greta, the only one believing what the scientists have told Greta, you’re never smiling, but there’s a reason why Greta, you understand what’s going wrong, seeing the truth between the lies The world is sinking deep and deeper The climate’s still waiting for a keeper Greta points to the human stain, but all her attempts are in vain Greta, the ice-bear is balancing on a tiny cake Greta, Philippines, Maldives, Netherlands are drowning for God’s sake! Greta, mankind is looking into the abyss Greta, we are waiting motionless for the last kiss When the flood is over and many humans died There will be not enough land for those left behind Hell is breaking loose, when all remaining start to fight Greta is right, Greta is right, Greta is right!

Your tell-tale eyes Years have gone so fast We thought, that all would last The time has killed the dreams Unreal now it seems The years passed by, we don’t know why and I see it in your eyes The children grow taller than our heads They will move to another state Now we are all alone, staring at the stars Looking not in one direction Ignoring the reflections of our thoughts Your tell-tale eyes tell me, that our love is dying Your tell-tale heart is always crying Your tell-tale hands are shaking when they see me I hope you can still feel me The world seems to fall apart Hate affects our hearts Compassion lost its strength Everyone takes revenge The world has changed and we changed too and I will always miss you Chaos rises all around the earth Climate change will become a curse Oceans rising, islands drowning, humanity escapes We hide inside the apartment Facing isolation This year was so bad, that it almost drove me mad The end seems still so far, it will tear us apart The years passed by, we don’t know why and I see it in your eyes The years have passed, we don’t know why, but I hear it in your cries!

about

"Medusas head" is my ninth studio-album and means another step forward into the Metal-genre. When I look back on the last two Heartscore-albums I think, that I went through a transition-phase starting from "Black riders part 1" and in my own opinion I have reached now a new home. When I listen to this new album it reminds me very much on bands like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Manowar and melodic Power or Heavy Metal is exactly, what I wanted to create. The only song, which does not fit exactly into this scheme is "Geronimo", which musically can be seen as a homage to the great Ennio Morricone.
I am very pleased, that I could work again with Giacomo Rossi from Italy, whose powerful vocals are a perfect match for the music. On "Medusas Head" I have also written my own lyrics. In the past I have abused poems as song-lyrics, but this time I wanted to cover other topics, which fit better to this kind of music. So you can expect historic themes, but also a song about the climate-activist Greta Thunberg and even two songs about love.
I offer a small CD-edition, which will hopefully arrive until the release-date and I plan a 5-pieces-Vinyl-edition later.
I am damned proud, that I can publish a full album with new songs only one year after the remake of "Sculptures" and I hope, that you enjoy it.
