about

Agora is our first, full-length track. It's about the secrets of a past, hidden underneath the ruins of a civilisation long gone, and the question what the future will bring in a world where we frequently forget where we come from.

lyrics

What's the scent of a secret, tell me?
Old paper and dust?
And how does a memory feel when you touch it?
Cold stone or rust?
What stories could those ruins tell me
If I asked them to?
What knowsledge lies inside these tombs
for us to find, for us to see, for us to understand their truth

Ashes of the old gods
They're watching over me
Their presence gives me hope for
What lies ahead for humanity

How many libraries burnt down, tell me?
How much knowledge is lost?
And how many books and stories are gone
And at what cost?
Can you hear these whispers, tell me?
Voices of the past?
For all the gods and kings have died
For us to see we are but grains in this giant hourglass

Written on the pages of history
Forever floating through the centuries
Legacies eaten up by flames and
Destroyed in man's self-righteous games
The winner's the one to write history
Writing our stories for centuries
Ghosts of the past burned in their flames
Betrayed by mankind's pointless games

Where will this lead us, tell me?
Will darkness be the end?
Will our knowledge fade away
Will we understand?
Is reason the answer, tell me?
Is understanding and trust?
Can science save our brittle little souls
Before the lights go out and we all turn into dust?

Written on the pages of history
Forever floating through the centuries
Legacies eaten up by flames and
Destroyed in man's self-righteous games
The winner's the one to write history
Writing our stories for centuries
Ghosts of the past burned in their flames
Betrayed by mankind's pointless games

about

HULD Fürth, Germany

HULD is a two person band whose music may best be described as Ambient Fantasy Folk. The name is derived from the Icelandic word „hulda“ meaning „secrecy“. We love to tell stories and explore the mysterious and dark nature of humankind as a whole.
But HULD is more than that: It's an all-around art project, where everything - from writing, recording to artwork - is done by the band itself.
