Oration 06:11
I'm the vehicle of transformation Fluctuating in a stale uterus These strings are the blades of nightmare Slammed doors of the dedalus Burning into the rays With formulas of decay I call forth the beasts of the mind Celebrate a glorious decline I swear I shall abuse Death's spell is now mine to use Paralyzed in ecstasy Blood's virtue bestowed on me Like a diamond amidst the flames My oration will remain Writhe... Ride on subconscious' wings To the lustrous tongue of the deceased Join me on the dying sun Where the heron begins his run.

The flames upon this unborn cell Untamed Cleave an inklike shell The blasts Deform its turbulent skin Hadean Primordial time begins Obsidian mist Magma rises like a fist Gods of eruption Prodigious parturition Endless meteors strike In blinding, radioactive light Oceans of fire and smoke Earth in a zircon cloak Submerged... by Hadean tides Primitive momentum of the unformed No life into the cosmic rain Fractures in a liquid stage
3.
Shores of an infant dream A lull in time's stellar seams Green streams of voluptuous delight Faraway laughters and splashes bind With ivory hands they feel The anaesthetic coils of the unreal They spark the intoxicated void And the tissue of thought is destroyed Speak the language of the fog Carve my existence's epilogue The membrane of my soul is torn apart Cascading death is a new start Their lips, gentle and pale Vocalize a unison so frail Slow, radiant shades of opioid clouds Sing to me, plunge inside my mouth Drawn to a fountain of whispers Like a snake amongst embers Gestures command the void I'm one with the opal soil And high upon their blossom thrones Naked with watery bones The daughters salute Fading in ether roots.

I wait and wait As the storms decorate I'm mindful without motions In lightless devotion Frost In a chapel Of snakes Oh wicked course Oh wicked seeds Upon towers of flesh Where days cease to be Ointment for the bereft Time's core rots away like forsaken fruits Liquescent hours Our lineage is devoured I wait for the drought When eternity ruptures its sprouts

Triptych 07:33
Torn from the pearly abyss, Naught. Claim the child who faints with a kiss, Braincells producing a crystallized hiss Statues are lashed, Marble turns to ash Claim the child who faints with a kiss Bowed at the bottom of the pearly abyss, Aulos heard in a silk mist Marsyas, satyr, flayed alive The child arrives with a cloudless smile The child arrives with a cloudless smile To play the gears of light And watch my wondering shell Become a Triptych Triptych Triptych Like a Lightning that shreds a glacier He'll return to invert the lunar years, Intoxicated god of paleness Dancing around orchards possessed, He'll dig a number with his feet And blast through darkness so deep The number be 3. Triptych Triptych The number be - become the Triptych The night arrived carrying horrendous mutations And the secret taste of dissolution, Three by three the howling sons arise Summoned by the cloudless child The sickle falls on the headless trees As the crawling crowd recites The number 3 The number 3 The number 3 Parallel moons in the hour of gloom, Asteroids in their devotional womb, Counting the creatures that leave their lair, Mourning the serenade in my stare Like vessels sailing into cosmic mouths We're swallowed together, Free-falling to the south.

By the stream Drowned in moonbeams You molder before me Your cortex limbs Befoul me Engraved in darkness and cloaks obscene The flood comes down, I cease to be Cease to be Scattered dots on the drapes of infinity Heaven's brass in your iris, smouldering Black trees waving - now congregate Undeciphered - Black devours gray Bone wings burning - fireflies screaming Up from the ground - stillborn weeping You look at me Touch my severed lips Love chasm strong In tired sighs forlorn Black trees waving Black trees waving

about

"Hadean" is the informal name given to the first geological era of our planet.

It can be seen as a non-time of continual accretion, liquefaction, destruction and dissolution of a barely formed globe.

Today only a few, 4 + billion years-old zircons from the Hadean have been found. These represent a silent witness to a mysterious eon that no sentient being would ever endure, in no way, on a physical plane.

This ancestral magmatic dimension, intertwined with the symbolic influence of poems by William Butler Yeats, Dylan Thomas, Thomas Stearns Eliot and Rainer Maria Rilke (namely in a track entitled "Triptych") informs the ideas, sounds and intentions contained within this new album.
