Unfolded visions in stereoscopic field You could see them through your glass Spreading noises like paths on a leaf But you won't see beyond the tree Muddy puddles in the dark Reflecting moon's parhelic circle Glow in the dark frogs They enter my inner fears My body's space filled with coldness The rain pouring down Breathing in this toxic mist Liquid streams in the abstract world They carry huge amounts of particles Conforming life as a whole domain But you won’t see beyond the rivers Brittle like the sands in my hand Snails cover my bare feet The lights absorbed by hollowness Distant springs will never be reached The sound of all disappears Nothing left behind but death Burning shadows in my living scheme Tear the pages from the usual treaties Set the norm for future committees But you won't see beyond your nose Muddy puddles in the dark Reflecting moon's parhelic circle Glow in the dark frogs They enter my inner fears My body's space filled with coldness The rain pouring down Breathing in this toxic mist Brittle like the sands in my hand Snails cover my bare feet The lights absorbed by hollowness Distant springs will never be reached The sound of all disappears Nothing left behind but death Favouritism Perfectionism Opportunism Wind up losing it Cry in public places Favouritism Capitalism Cannibalism Fly against the wind Die in public places

Prison of Winter 04:20
lyrics
buy track
A life devoted to collect wood For its purpose was unclear Day by day ignored soul’s food Emptied the whole forest dear For you Like prisoners long for bread Decaying man with light marvels All my blood was drained And confused Paradise with sparkles And filled my box with them Forgive me, I choose to live at the stake And be gone on my own sake Miss me as you would miss a moving target Sweep the ashes, bury the grief and forget Because I could not escape the prison of winter A hopeless match you could ignite A tiny flare against cruelty That could show you the narrow way at night But that it would still hide your beauties And show as well your impurities Let me go through this part on my own I don't want you to see the pile Nor smell the fuel my pain sown The spring I will see in a while Along with fallen trees Forgive me, I choose to live at the stake and be gone on my own sake Miss me as you would miss a moving target Sweep the ashes, bury the grief and forget Because I could not escape the prison of winter

The Arctic King, Harmed and Damaged 05:47
lyrics
buy track
Once upon a time there was a heartbroken boy. In his bed he cried and cried, his room was cold, his body couldn't get warm. He somehow liked the feeling of being sad and lonely, and being cold to the core. Slowly his body grew colder, ice formed on his face and arms, his skin turned blue, soon he sought revenge. No one would ever be able to break his heart again. The Arctic King was born in the middle of the winter. Years later his entire body was made of ice, the house he lived in turned into a white, sparkly castle, completely covered in ice, the green grass outside was now snow. Then, one day his old love came to knock on his door. The Arctic King knew it was him, he felt it in his entire icy body. Deep inside the King's body grew a fire, out of nothing. He walked to the door to see his old love again, he felt like the boy he used to be, but when he opened the door, all he could do was freeze the man he once loved. This man is now the King's greatest treasure. Raindrops on your skin The grey color fades away Leaving ring marks all over you A darker tone fills your body A two dimensional, black and white hand touching another [Cold, sweaty palms] My hollow arms, broken stones A mistake given by blindness [You destroyed me] My whiteness is part of you Ink, skin deep, but burning through the core [You exploded] Suffering eternally, searching for more [Your own betrayal] Your warmth inside, lost, replaced [Internal hatred] It's fake, unreal and stupid [Fuck]

Invigorating promise White glitter worth of intentions The words had a life for themselves But were ruined by a cloudy day Gray scale full of hues The cues for the actions to come Sounds like feverish if I may Like the smelly epithet you spat to my face How to think what’s already pumping? It's like a pencil mimicking sound What you didn't know was that The ink was already spilled over your smile Turned the page, now it's blank Luminous as the burning star What a tiny will you have To go with the witches in the sky Debris

Stellar Clusters 05:08
lyrics
buy track
Sanctuary, next to a light that whispers Where the past masters lived And the logic runs in rivers And graceful treasures never died. Shiny particles are counted by the hundreds With voices as clear as crystals That resonate in vacuum with horns Twice as strong as thunders Why did you make that grimace? We were all deceived by the monsters We were all left drifting in stellar clusters

Dry river Currents on fire No glass could magnify it Boring desire An air full of allure That even stunned could admire Off the ground I need my feet Useless enquire A long way, a long way require Those two paths to backfire Over those dunes we shall meet Eyes lacking amber Filmy attire Behind the shield I see the alder I can smell my own defeat I will not be a burglar

Dead Seekers 03:48

Why is xe standing there? With xyr black eyes lightly touching my soul Xyr pale blue skin, long black hair The white fur on xyr legs A tail like a raccoon's, moth's wings Is xe here to kill me with xyr stance? Fish scales in xyr neck traveling to xyr nipples with a detour to xyr shoulders Xe will hold you with xyr four arms What is this creature? Xyr upper legs covered by a traditional cloth, revealing nothing but xyr left thigh The darkness fades, burns, pierces a hole in you You have left with xem

Solid South 03:00

I walked towards the edge Its dead lights looked at me Wondering what hope there is In its natural state fear took over Wandering through like a mission These angles changed course Blinded by the deep, hollow poison You pushed me off The last cold breeze on my face The dark pools of desire stare at me In this prison you kept me alive Stuffed me with honey Claustrophobia and a beacon of light Here the shadows come Surrounding the coffin I'm in The moths have already eaten me Wolves screaming in the distance Dead birds diving into the soil Mist lurking around for flesh to feed on A sudden bright flame enters me Finish this day for me Frozen in a closed off forest Sucked in the ground to rot It's finally here to take me

Cosmic Matter 06:03
lyrics

Cosmic matter, scattered everywhere Had no reasons to become aware Mostly indifferent about the human flare Consequences in advance prepare And there it was, a canned liquid Sparkling grey, fairly gifted Feeble armour, completely sealed Putrid insight, the plot twisted It's not like he wanted to be special It's not like he wanted to be normal Stardust, coincidence, Turned into one despite all the odds Random, casual Someday we'll go back to the stars Now the atoms are willing to split Run away from desire to fit Other sketches, they wish to depict By other means, existence starlit It's not like he wanted to be special It's not like he wanted to be normal It's not like he wanted to live Stardust, coincidence, Turned into one despite all the odds Random, casual Someday we'll go back to the stars Liquid essence will escape the veins Putrefaction will break the chains A small spot the absence will splatter A shot to become cosmic matter.

My Doll 04:59
lyrics

In a deserted city where the usurped now live The sandy wind washed away their memories My search for you began after the usurper banished me to this fallen place All these buildings will fall on us one day While I walk down these streets, I notice it The buildings are filled with sand and gold Treasures and puppets, sunken people Shattered windows reflecting the sun to shine light upon the forgotten Now I'm on top of a falling building to jump off and bury myself in the sands Before I go I hear laughter in the distance He has seen me and wants me to forget You were the only one I fought him for He appears before me, his long fingers touch me He tries to suck every last memory of you out of my head, I try to fight him off I take his mask off and see the true usurper A puppet made of sand presents you to me

Silent Trees 03:14

I'm dying in this wooden cabin This deer is looking at me Its antlers stretch out The mountains bow to it Sharp light hits my eyes The ground rumbles underneath me The greens outside are rotting away It darkens around me Nature's spirit is gone Let me out of here I don't want to leave this place I can still revive him Snow forms a layer around its heart Slowly beating at a new pace Complexity surrounds them all It's time to let go of it

Rebellion 05:05

One more doll is being burned Another passage has been opened All my arms will satiate the beast, for now The titan has awoken inside my chest It's giving out longer arrows So my ribs become the bow One more ghoul is being chased They hate contests, them body snatchers It's not a cycle, but your own footprints The fox is the huntsman, the prey is your soul It's giving out finer spices So virtues become marauders Rebellion One more lead is being found A counterfeit angel has enlightened you All your arms will satiate the beast, for now

Rhea 04:59
lyrics

The thousand red giants galaxy Within interstellar disarray feast The cocoon converted into the fortress The exiled turtle crowned as dragon While the birds surrender their reign And their fleet dive in the swamps The toxic mushroom sprouted upriver As dead trees were carried away by the wind Nature was deprived of its original splendor The radiant landscape is just flawless Orphaned sons and daughters created it They look after the oxidized Earth Gigantic rabbit holes in the sky Dark lightning became cold fire Shadowy places, ambiguous sight Night shades crawled underneath Still unsure if it will come forth Opponents reflected in low radiations Nuclear vegetation grew back through concrete Filthy soil came through the corroded bricks Drying the limpid waters, poisoning nature Wilting trees, killing incandescent birds Sucking the blood out of every beetle PreApocalyptic sea

Bones 04:42
lyrics

Naturized human beings Hair forming branches Her hands and feet turning into claws Our spines becoming one with the earth Poison running through our veins Hunting with your nose Connecting with electric signals His paralyzed legs The eyes sprouting Hearts change to oceans' waves The moon's lightning striking neurons Birds' wings fall into the sky Transformation is inevitable The rhythms keep their colors Internal tribal wars Sun's heat keeps them alive Pulsate to hail Hibernating glaciers moving towards me
