about

This is the first track of the upcoming Heartscore-album, which will hopefully be released at the end of 2022. The song is about an American female serial-killer called Jane Toppan or "Jolly Jane", who killed around 30 persons during her work as a nurse. She was fascinated by the moment of death, so the legend says, that she hugged her victims right before they died and looked into their eyes.
Musically I follow the route, which I have set with "Medusa's head": Simple, but powerful Metal-songs in the tradition of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Manowar. I plan to be even more consistent on the upcoming album. Therefore I will try to avoid all sidesteps towards ballads, prog rock and other styles for wimps :-) Expect only face-melting, true Metal!

lyrics

The final hug

Hear my name is Jolly Jane
And I was born into the madness
My father "Kelley the crack" was known
To sew his eyelids closed in sadness
My mother died so fast
My childhood would not last

My father put me in an asylum
My sister went to be a bitch
Ann C. Toppan finally took me home
She did not know I was a witch

Chorus:
Slide to the other side
It will be your last ride
I will share my love with you
Are you still alive, dear
Can you feel me so near?
The time is now to give a
FInal hug to you

When I worked so hard in hospitals
My curiosity arose
What would happen, if I ram a shot
Of Morphine right into your nose?

Chorus:
Slide to the other side
It will be your last ride
I will share my love with you
Are you still alive, dear
Can you feel me so near?
The time is now to give a
FInal hug to you

Trained with poison, merciless
I know how I will get my will
I drug you first and before the kiss
Comes Strychnine, which will slowly kill
I look into your eyes
While you will miserable die!

Thirtyone I killed with so much joy
I touched them alive, I touched them dead
Don't believe, that I am just insane
It's me, your trusty Jolly Jane!

Chorus:
Slide to the other side
It will be your last ride
I will share my love with you
Are you still alive, dear
Can you feel me so near?
The time is now to give a
FInal hug to you
