Susan Catherine:
Get out from under these clouds before it's too late
Remember what it is that is burning to hold them and all of this up in the sky
Our fall is long and will last a lifetime
Ikaros:
[I care only about the blue skies beyond]
I know I'll get there
Daidalos:
Our shadows are eaten by the blackness above
Do you think that your footsteps will ever be seen?
Ikaros:
I know that they will
I will break through into clear skies

Rust and ruin

|
Daidalos:
Broken in twain are the bonds that bound us to
all that which makes us true
Our sight is obscured by the effigies we have built
O'er the fount that we did spring from
Ever faster we run in pursuit of a golden age
That does not lie on this course
This progress we make only takes us farther along
the path that leads to the edge
Rust and ruin awaits
My mind's eye can see our temples crumbled to dust
As our march comes to a halt
The wilderness we have fought so long and hard
will engulf them all in the end
That we may again forge the bonds that did hold us
to the earth that we trod upon
And if the cycle restarts I hope our progress will only be
our means and not our end

Closer

Soft are the curves that Meadows drew
Soft are the bell's tolls as it tolls for you
Heavy the rain fall, more so than before
Heavy is my heart when I think on this
Great the confusion is among all and one
Great thus the culling beyond the edge

The search
11:06
|

|
Ikaros:
I search for a silver lining that would guide me to where these clouds open unto clear skies
I'd rather close my ears to your words but they echo loudly as the heavens darken above
Will I ever find a way from this falling skyline threatening to crush me
A glint of sunlight there somewhere farther ahead of me holds a promise of some fresh air
I fear that this search is beginning far too late but I still have hope for us
Our ingenuity may still see us through to the blue skies beyond these dark clouds above
Susan Catherine:
The sun rays of his dreams have faded away
But his youthful ambition does not let him see the truth
Daidalos:
Ikaros, Ikaros, I know you've heard my words
But I see they have not been understood

Spilt in vain
04:35
|

|
Soon it will all be gone
Will its like be seen again?
I can already hear
its echoes fade away
Our blood, sweat and tears
Were they spilt in vain?
The sands in the hourglass
Are draining ever down
Full circle we now have come
Ouroboros eaten alive
Our blood sweat and tears
Were they spilt in vain
[Our blood spilt in vain]

Montgolfière recommends:
The no longer existing band Prisma Circus is one of our favourite bands. Their album Reminiscences will forever grind our record player. CHECK.EM.OUT!

That Goat Mushroom track = holy fuck! Really blew the dog's mind.

How lucky of me to find this band, and what a shame it took them 8 albums for me to find them. In particular, I love the swagger/frivolity of their playing. Also the delicacy of the guitarist on some tracks (reminds of Stone Rebel at times) Fav track: I am the beyonder
