Handaxe 05:20
We cut our teeth on simple needs, on herd and grain, and picking stones to fit our hands. And thus was born: hominin thought, hominin deed. Then, our simple thoughts shaped our tools, knapping stones to fit our hands. And thus was born: hominin thought, hominin deed, hominin dreams. And fire was tamed. And wolf was tamed. Handaxe let us dream. What clever apes we made. Then, our simple tools shaped our thoughts, lithic flakes of ape removed. And thus was born: a killer with hominin thought, hominin deed, hominin dreams. And land was claimed. And gods were named. Handaxe let us dream. What clever killers we made. Hand. Axe. Kill. Lithic flakes of ape removed.

about

"Handaxe" is the first single off our debut full length album "Sic Transit Mundus," available digitally and as a limited edition cassette.


LYRICS:
We cut our teeth
on simple needs,
on herd and grain,
and picking stones to fit our hands.
And thus was born:
hominin thought, hominin deed.

Then, our simple thoughts
shaped our tools,
knapping stones to fit our hands.
And thus was born:
hominin thought, hominin deed, hominin dreams.

And fire was tamed.
And wolf was tamed.
Handaxe let us dream.
What clever apes we made.

Then, our simple tools
shaped our thoughts,
lithic flakes of ape removed.
And thus was born: a killer
with hominin thought, hominin deed, hominin dreams.

And land was claimed.
And gods were named.
Handaxe let us dream.
What clever killers we made.

Hand. Axe. Kill. Lithic flakes of ape removed.
