about

A new single from Cardiff's HIMALAYAS, in collaboration with AC/DC's Brian Johnson who gifted the band with the lyrics.

'V.O.V' is a song of anger towards the powers that be and sympathy for those suffering from their ill considered decisions. Brian Johnson sent us some some lyrics and ideas after hearing songs from our debut album. Once we had written the song around Brian’s lyrics and added the Himalayas touch to it, we sent to off for Brian’s blessing. He loved what we had done with it, we were then itching to get into the studio and get it recorded. Receiving those calls and lyrics was a bit surreal at first, but we are so grateful for the support that we’ve received from Brian.

lyrics

A bitter pill
A hollow line
A luxury life
On a Disney ride
And wicked truths
Cover a fate soon sealed
Behind the glass
Of what you thought was real

And fall in to the same old trap
Roaming streets like feral rats
They’ll burn and they steal and they still think that
The fights they pick will spark a match

Victims of your violence, slaughter of your innocence
Victims of your violence, slaughter of your innocence

A twisted nightmare
Through bloody eyes
A broken future
Seen in moonlight skies
Where heroes fall to a fate soon sealed
Behind the glass
Of what you thought was real

And fall in to
The same old trap
Roaming streets like feral rats
They’ll burn and they steal
And they still think that
The fights they pick will spark a match

Victims of your violence, slaughter of your innocence
Victims of your violence, slaughter of your innocence

We lose everything that we had
We take a breath and breathe our last
We lose everything that we had
We take a breath and breathe our last
We lost everything that we had
We take a breath and breathe our last
We lost everything that we had
We take a breath and breathe our last
