Tracks



01. Diamond Skies

The skies of a future horizon
Blind my sight like an icy spear
Like a beam through a starlit mirror
Illumination of the world entry

Millions and billions of shining embers
The stellar manifestation of the skies
Like a frozen leash of gleaming moments
Tied to the seeking glare of my eyes

The illusion of existence
Frozen by this winterland
The purpose of revival
The coherent collusion

Millions and billions of shining embers
The stellar manifestation of the skies
Like a frozen leash of gleaming moments
Tied to the seeking glare of my eyes

Through the hidden realm of the fallen
Where the predatory effusion rises
Concourse - the dwell superior to every war

Man and nature
Fire and ice
Under the diamond skies

Emaciated yet strong, shaded yet sharpen

Diversity of colours fades to monochrome
The mundane weakens to starve
Hours disrupt in a glimpse of moments
The horizon fall with the snowflake

Man and nature
Fire and ice
Under the diamond skies

02. Arcades

The illustrious obstructions at the skyline
Keep intelligentials inside their walls
A labyrinth built of gelid brine
Where inclement weather feeds the wintry pall

Here I call out to polaris
Screaming from bone and marrow
The echo should reach even solaris
But seems trapped in passages narrow

No melting, no sublimation at this place
The glacier's crack got it's prey
Like a demon with a dreadful face
Tearing all senses away

I'm trapped in the dark, in the white
Waiting to get a glimpse of the skies
But this cave-like space swallows all light
I'm stuck in miles of ice

Yet the thoughts accumulate
But not those of hope and aid
Cause no sane civilisation will reach this crate
Iceolated in mile-spread arcades

I hear the storm howling above
But the sound of breaking ice is louder
Sharp edges with intention to clove
Decorated with nature's cold powder

Broken arms, broken knees
Broken chest, finally peace!

No melting, no sublimation at this place
The glacier's crack got it's prey
Like a demon with a dreadful face
Tearing all senses away

03. Nine Waves

The oceans, the freezing passages
Wipe out the traces of the mankind
Eradicate glance once released
Uphold the order of the cycles
The patterns of the stellar rage

To ravish the insomniac dynasty
With the pale northern tranquillity
Screams cease to silence and no rumble
The fire, fierce, calms to ashes and debris

Ocean waves, the pulse of time
Beats through the icy kingdom
A chapter to open, a story to close
A moment of release, a heart that froze
Nine waves

Ashore, throughout the nine waves
Adore, the memory of the cronian seas
The lore, the era of equilibrium
Summer and winter
Autumn and spring
The entire entity

The utter province of the world
The habutation of all domination
Adrift and afloat, yet sinking
The final adventure of man's proclamation

Ocean waves, the pulse of time
Beats through the icy kingdom
A chapter to open, a story to close
A moment of release, a heart that froze
Nine waves

Ashore, throughout the nine waves
Adore, the memory of the cronian seas
The lore, the era of equilibrium
Summer and winter
Autumn and spring
The entire entity

Ocean waves, the pulse of time
Beats through the icy kingdom
A chapter to open, a story to close
A moment of release, a heart that froze

04. Project Hibernation

As soon as we held sceince key
Our thinking became infected
We tried to reclaim to cronian sea
Like infinitely wise we acted

But the sea conquered our toil
Still we knew it all
With egos firm as frozen soil
Our mastery began the poles fall

Like a dying season we fell asleep
Our sensibility desisted to grow
The pit of stupudity seems ocean deep
As we still bury our heads in the snow

We have to handle preparation before we summon erudition
Otherwise wthe world's like glaze
Transparent, but a slippery derision
That covers the earthly maze
And we're lost in haze

Alarm! Alert! Wake up from your (un)conscious
Adjust your soul to this colure's frequency
We need a cessation of failing nunscious
And hibernation is a way to consult modesty

As the barren lands becomes grime
The biomes suffer by our torment
Cause we are insulated by time
Result: awake but dormant

Like a dying season we fell asleep
Our sensibility desisted to grow
The pit of stupudity seems ocean deep
As we still bury our heads in the snow

We need maturation of our capacity
Hibernation is a way to consult modesty

06. Deportation

Somewhere in the maze
Mankind's solace is rendering
Throughout the starlit haze
The woven rim groans eagerly

Monochrome forecast of the future
Poetry of the incoherent rhymes
Is the last speech of mother earth
End of the journey the fall of night
The curtains of greed fade the light

A history of evolution
Ages of constructions
Moments of endurance
The glimpse of reproduction
Selection evolving to perfection
Balancing without distraction
A glorious heritage
Left behind, by the blind

Somewhere in the face
The children's tears sparkle
Yet there is no place to become
Neither father nor mother
Neither brother nor sister
Deportation

Ice melted, water drained
Skies are red, air that chokes
The shallow horizon stains
Trees blooms in grey
Not for another day
Deportation

A history of evolution
Ages of constructions
Moments of endurance
The glimpse of reproduction
Selection evolving to perfection

Neither father nor mother
Neither brother nor sister
Deportation

07. Moving Panorama

Earth inclines away from the sun
As the cold season is improving
At my viewpoint, a palace of eccentricity
Where the whole scenerey is moving

Nature's monuments in a transpolar drift
(Casting dark blue shadows that we fear)
The coastline ends up in this delta's rift
(A dynamism ignited by the obliquity of spheres)

Standing still, still travelling through an area of ice
By a slowly rotating current that leads the stream clockwise

An omnificent hall of brutal adventures
Ejecting islands from a polar den
Formation - growth - deformation - disintegration
At the annual snowline, again and again

I'm sailing on crystal sheets
Where explorers met tremendous drama
The scenery's harshness can't deplete
Imagination's cyclorama

I'm on the move, or is it the world?
Nature stages a shifting play
By uniquitous events my view is purled
And lionized by ablation's pray

Standing still, still travelling through an area of ice
By a slowly rotating current that leads the stream clockwise

08. The Encounter

The icy path, the steep passage uphill
Soaks in the steps of infinity
Through this withering weather
Blazing the moments of reality

At the plains, the highest compound
Of the frozen constellations
The defiance of degeneration
The gravity of existence

Where the stars descend
Where the sun deserts
Illusions delusive
The encounter
...of the above and below

Time coils with reaons coherent
Serenity exuded and benightened

Where the stars descend
Where the sun deserts
Illusions delusive
The encounter
...of the above and below

At the plains, the highest compound
Of the frozen constellations
The defiance of degeneration
The gravity of existence

The encounter

From the melting shores to the icy hills
The route from the membrane to the core
A ladder of evolution, a crossroad of confusion
Sharpens the spear of delineations

From the icy hills to the melting shores...

From the melting shores to the icy hills
A ladder of evolution
The encounter
...of the above and below
