about

4th album from THE DURA HOTEL

Of Strays & Spirits

The Dura Hotel, a mighty ruin lost amidst forest and snow... The guests have checked out and all the employees have fled...yet the rooms remain occupied by sounds, unheard, echoing. What strays and spirits remain? But are those tropical palm fronds rising from the ice?

In the Swiss alps, where sturdy peaks reside,
A grandeur of nature, where dreams collide.
Amidst majestic beauty, a tale unfolds,
Of a grand hotel, whose tragedy we behold.

The Dura Hotel, a gem of architectural art,
Stood tall and proud, a testament to man's chart.
Its walls infused with history and tales,
Whispers of laughter, and secrets it unveils.

But fate, ruthless as the mountain's icy breath,
Cast its shadow upon these hallowed depths.
A tempestuous storm, with thunderous might,
Unleashed its fury on that fateful night.

As lightning danced with ominous delight,
The foundations shook from nature's truest fight.
The Dura, standing strong for many a year,
Bowed under pressure, overcome by fear.

The gasps of disbelief swallowed the air,
As the hotel crumbled, beyond any repair.
Once regal halls were swallowed by earth's maw,
And sorrow's cloud descended, leaving all in awe.

The mountains wept, their icy tears did freeze,
As souls huddled, burdened by heavy unease.
The ghosts of laughter faded silently away,
Lost in the rubble, forever to stay.

Yet, amidst the despair, resilience did ignite,
As hands joined to conquer devastation's might.
Strangers banded together, hearts entwined,
The Dura, a symbol of strength, shall shine.

In the aftermath, as the Swiss alps stand tall,
The spirits rise, like echoes of a soulful call.
For in every downfall, there lies a chance to heal,
To rebuild shattered dreams, a love that's real.

O, Dura Hotel, your memory will survive,
In the hearts of those who couldn't help but thrive.
May your collapse remind us of life's precious sway,
And cherish fleeting moments, till the end of our days.

We hope you have enjoyed your stay.
