Lycia is an American dark wave band formed in 1988 in Tempe, Arizona. The main personnel of the band are Mike VanPortfleet, Tara VanFlower and David Galas. Although only achieving minor cult success, the band is notable for being one of the ground breaking groups in darkwave and ethereal wave styles. Their 1995 album The Burning Circle and Then Dust received some attention for the power pop hit song "Pray" and "remains a high point of American dark rock", according to AllMusic. Lycia's music is characterized by rich soundscapes and layers of echoed guitars, dark and ethereal keyboards, doomy drum machine beats, VanPortfleet's melancholic, whispered vocals and Vanflower's vivid voice. Trent Reznor and Peter Steele are some of their more well-known fans. more »

Got off work on Sunday
Hit the border Monday morn'
Walk through fire for a paycheck
We'll drive south til we feel warm
And meet some family
Who I'm starting to believe could be my own
Never ready for the impact
The car ahead spins off the road
Waiting for the sound of sirens
Only a patient hand to hold
The man keeps asking for his wife
He doesn't know we watched her life slipping away
Now he's rescued and gone
I guess we're free to travel on, and all I say
With you I'm home, just keep us on this road
And take your time, 'cause with you by my side
No wall can stand between
Seems like hundreds of your family
In a church built in 1512
Though I don't yet have the language
Still I understand the love
Bride and groom are whisked away
We dance until the day begins again
It started dawning on me then
Though the celebration ends, that I'll stay
With you I'm home, just keep us on this road
And take your time, 'cause with you by my side
No wall can stand between
We're headed north after a time
We'll cross the border if the line would ever go
The cops can shake us down
A war can start up all around us still I know
With you I'm home, just keep us on this road
And take your time, 'cause with you by my side
No wall can stand between
