lyrics

"Shambhala is a particular principal and particular ideal
And also once upon a time it was a kingdom
Which is based on a nation of a total enlightened society"
(Chögyam Trungpa)


I'm stumbling along the road
Just wa- wondering along- and about
Whereto I do want to go - I've no clue (do I...?)
Which one of my dreams I'll be heading to

"The world is not gonna be saved purely by religion alone"
(Chögyam Trungpa)

A sacred place among human race
Oh I am craving for locating
Ataxic gait is my way to approach this state
It's a myth they say
I hear them calling it Shambhala

Mystic places
Blissful traces
That I'll chase, it's
Cliche, touche
I'll survey my decay
While I'm holding on
To my disarray

about

HALA image

HALA Rotterdam, Netherlands

With shocking effect and energy HALA explores a diverse theatrical interplay based on the vocalist Helene Matthia's fairytale-like compositions. Their music sounds nearly absurdist and evil, and scatters from progressive rock, avant-pop and (free) improvisation to avant-garde and cabaret.
