Decline is the symptom of the failure to evolve forwards
Change was and will be the most permanent element of experience deny to go on and you will be left back Going backwards by remaining stagnant We watch from our abodes As hawks we cut the electric skies. With pride We keep the order, designing fate We give access to countless futures... A time of exodus will come. The time to break out from the womb And ships will lower down on Gaia On shining arks then we will go On lands and stars forgotten... The origin of riddles, what can restore the lunar wings Is challenge of the underworld For challenges to come, we will stand against the tide Under the banner of the brave Mission AIOEPIA, the future belongs to the brave Decline is the symptom of the failure to evolve forwards Change was and will be the most permanent element of experience We watch from our abodes As hawks we cut the electric skies. With pride We keep the order, designing fate We give access to countless futures... The origin of riddles, what can restore The lunar wings is challenge of the underworld For challenges to come, we will stand against the tide Under the banner of the brave Mission AIOEPIA, the future belongs to the brave 02. The Ophidian Wheel
Where the crossroads meet is the axle
Of the grand wheel The heart that reverberates my beat. I wear the talisman of Thot, The sign of our unity Because it has a part of the universe A part of me. And my love is strong because nothing can divide Me from the object of my ultimate affection. The ophidian wheel When the moon steals the crown from its rival Night enters day. Bring forth the eclipse The schism that reconstructs my lucid kingdom. The ophidian wheel When the moon steals the crown from its rival Night enters day. Bring forth the eclipse The schism that reconstructs my lucid kingdom. And all my children by their birth right Wear proudly my crown, my horns of power And those who sense my circle thoughts are all witnesses 03. Phallic Litanies
Welcome to the joyous carnival of passion
Where the mind surrenders to the animal. Smell the seductive odor of the naked skin Bathed in the exotic oils, the potions of desire. It would be folly to defy the eldest law For resistance will only supply the fire of lust With her wooden excuses. We are here to drink this old wine without remorse To spill the fluid of Genesis In abundance because we all know That as this elixir of life will flow We will be left exhausted but smiling. Nails sink into sweaty ground Marking dionysiac stings Sparks set from velvet tongues That bring close soft orange lips Phallic litanies Paths lead inside warm nests, that scared shrines of sin As serpents we crawl beneath The guises that we all wear. It would be folly to defy the eldest law For resistance will only supply the fire of lust With her wooden excuses. So it will grow stronger and stronger Until fatally it will consume the renegades With the flames of their denied satisfaction Phallic litanies 04. Razor Blades Of Guilt
Hedonism, power in life without end
Morality and remorse banished An epitaph of useless beliefs and countless mistakes Left to the outcasts. Those who were found guilty for self torment Never admitting so, betrayed by their shiver While mutilating their happiness With razor blades of guilt Their voices rise like an irritating whisper To the AEONAON fortress But there is no need for warriors That can not win their own battles Razor blades of guilt No beggars are allowed in, to feast in sympathy This treasure is kept and shared With the beloved loyal comrades Wearing the title of the trinity Warlord, magician and king Hands are raised grasping golden cups In a toast for hedonism. Power in life without guilt 05. Tartarus

06. On The Topmost Step Of The Earth
A stranger once whispered:
A fallen angel is someone not aware of his authentic identity Because the fall occurred nowhere except on the inner plains And the broken wing was nothing but the bleeding memory The creators of the prophecies Have seen pages yet unturned From a book that can not be read Or expressed from mouths of scorn Observing the divine marriage Between the solid soil and the ether Step on the lightnings and ascend On the topmost step of the earth Stepping on the belt that surrounds the sphere Endless are the joys of the infinite quest For the timeless explorer And the child that lurks inside On the topmost step of the earth Stepping on the belt that surrounds the sphere A billion toys to play, countless more to invent In the mental playground, around its solid tree The creators of the prophecies Have seen pages yet unturned From a book that can not be read Or expressed from mouths of scorn On the topmost step of the earth On the topmost step of the earth... Stepping on the belt that surrounds the sphere 07. Microcosmos

08. Geometry In Static
Behold that a path is created from these traces of ink,
Letters join numbers Sounds come forth manifesting the plasticity. This is the direct outcome of the continuous war The collision of the worlds of change and stability One would sense the mind behind them If only he could withdraw from the relentless alterations of its forms I have swum against rivers of fallacy Chaotic symmetry, And have returned From the point of weakness To the root of triumph. Between the circular entrances of spinning dark suns I travelled with the company of a triangle To the dark corners of cosmos Geometry in static In frozen wells I left my seal for the future travellers Sunken trilithons bear my signature In wombs of yellow on the phosphoric remnants Of organisms with consciousness long erosed One would sense the mind behind them If only he could withdraw from the relentless alterations of its forms Between the circular entrances of spinning dark suns I travelled with the company of a triangle to the dark corners of cosmos Geometry in static 09. Shamanic Rite
From inside a cloud with the shape of a grey owl
Scanning down the hill of an indian sacred site I can see a figure with hair white like the snow The polar crystal breath. Gyrating around the pyre like a planet in orbit Around the burning mass of a life giving sun Following the ways of the ageless Parallel not our paths can cross In a shower of meteor storm As you have sung for me Now I sing for you As you have welcomed me Now I welcome you The shaman From inside a cloud with the shape of a grey owl Scanning down the hill of an indian sacred site I can see a figure with hair white like the snow The polar crystal breath. As you have sung for me Now I sing for you As you have welcomed me Now I welcome you The shaman Let's take our place as stars in the night sky... 10. Heaven Below
A peacock rests alone in the vitreous valley
With an innocent pose like it does not know On its feathers ventaglia thousands of eyes Empty since the end of oracles Clouds create a hollow pillow For sleepy heads to rest By denying to submit to the whims Of their unstable patterns, I glide above them all Heaven below Light as a thought, dropping the weight of millenniums How far can once reach The answer depends on who this one is How far can one extend As far as his limits go... Heaven below 11. Enchantment
