The Sun Approaches

over the sand
walking covered in sweat
bile and filth
it permeates through their skin
soaked in the flesh and guilt
the king admires from afar
the sins of his domain
and ponders the light and the dark
as the sun approaches
fire
touches
all

Exile To The Desert
01:51
|
|||
|
A vision of water
seeps from their lips
tired and parched
from the dry wind
A distant eye beckons
deep sweet longing
the pleasure of the return
is worth the price
the smell of singed skin in the desert heat
drove them to madness
each tear was a gift from a long dead god
Salty and sweet

The First Song of Summer
02:42
|

|
They came for the sky
and the air grew still
As wings made their descent
Into the sea
They came for the trees
Withered and weary
brittle arms torn from the earth
laying on the ground
The earth took them in
And they made it their home
And their home became their grave
and it shook with their sorrows
the first song of summer carried on the desert wind
circled their heads
one last time

Set Sail In The Sand
05:05
|
|||
|
The pride and the flames
over their tongues and their hearts
The smoke covered sky
Shadowed the children of earth
the stones of the monuments swept away
fragments scattered in the ancient sands
the carving knife in the hand of mortality
split the fire that covered the land
In the caves they waited
for the sign of a new age
every shudder of the earth and sea
was a quiver through them all
They left it all behind
to follow the sand
feeding into the ground
an endless procession
The dirt on their hands
and the soil between the rocks
Traced their palms
and their future
and they set sail in the sand
Their eyes and their hearts were opened
As it poured down their throats
and filled up their aching bellies
And for a moment they all stood
A paralyzed circle of humanity
Caught between the sky and the ground
as the fear rose in their throats

I Have Seen The Light, And It Was Repulsive

Ἡ εἰκών was an impressive debut, but way too short! Luckily, Ψευδομένη arrives to satisfy the urge for more of what made its precedessor hit hard and fast: some atmospheric moments (don't be deterred as this is still brutal, dissonant and disgusting to the core) and at the same time, J.L. is exploring longer tracks - e.g. my personal favourite - and implementing some cavernous lows. If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's most likely that this man refuses to stand still. What a pace!
