LUNAR
Release date: April 20, 2023
The continuation of the journey started in "Mercurial".

"Keep your eyes wide open, keep your mind wide shut".


ECHOES AND SIGNALS
The moon. It fascinates and leads astray, it inspires and destroys, it can give strength and can drain. The moon is the source of the greatest danger and the greatest blessing.

Moonlight shines in the darkest night showing thousands of ways to go. Some of them are making you run in circles, some of them are going nowhere, but there are few that can guide you through the dark.

This album is the continuation of the journey started in "Mercurial". We have to face something irrational, something that can not be described with the words, something that lies somewhere very deep inside us.

"Keep your eyes wide open, keep your mind wide shut".

I - AMYGDALA
Silver light descends
Covering the pristine waters

Leave my head to rest
Carry me to distant borders

Take me to the shades
Take me to the dead stars gathering
Through the open space
Through the fear and shiver I resign

To the waters
To your space
To the waters
To your grace

Take me to the dead stars gathering
II - THE WITCHING HOUR

Tell me the very hidden secret
Let me play with your thoughts and beliefs
You say you're rolling in the deep
You say you're slowly losing grip

Keep your eyes wide open
Keep your mind wide shut
It's the witching hour
And there's no turning back

Don't try to hide among the shadows -
My torch burns through ages and forevers
Your were running for too long
It's time to leave your golden crown

Keep your eyes wide open
Keep your mind wide shut
It's the witching hour
And there's no turning back
III - LUNAR
Into the void
You lead the way for me
The silent voice
Is calling me
The perfect storm
We sail through changing tides
We follow signs
Of lunar light

Inside the dark

Doesn't matter if it's night or day
Fear is always calling me to stay
But sometimes glowing is too bright to look beneath
And sometimes storms are turning into light breeze

I remember when I lost the way
Seems like distance washed the pain away
But sometimes glowing is too bright to look beneath
And sometimes storms are turning into light breeze

Into the void
Save souls from burning
Embrace the returning

Into the void
Break my delusions
And lead the way out of the dark

You break me down
You say that I'll remain so hollow
Until the very dawn

Until the morning we embrace the night
Guided by the lunar light

INTO THE VOID
IV - SERPENTINE

When you were caught inside
You found us right behind
We're staying above the Earth - come inside the lair
We're staying below the Earth - come and find

Your place
Your home
We'll sing
The angelic song

For you
For us
Come close
There's nothing between us now

See how it shapes
The colors of ground and coal
Surrounded by the lunar gray

Thousand rains
Are pounding the heavens door
Filling in cellars
COME INSIDE THE LAIR
V - MANA
The separation
Is what I really want
I take the knife
I cut the thread between the poles
When I reach the final point
I'll be so free from all the binds
It makes me feel that I'm the one who knows the truth

In the circles
We're running through the dream
We call it life
But I can see it's turning into a nightmare
I can see the deepest void
That lies ahead
I see enough
To know that we're full of blind spots

I see the void
I feel its pulse
I see the void
I feel it's close to me

Give me the breath
I thought I'd lost you forever
Till a final end
Follow me and remind that
There's no daylight without the darkest night

Things that we say
Beautiful nonsense
Explaining the ways
We went to be broken
Staying in flames
Burning our hearts
We still look for the key
Unlocking the secrets

Come tell me where to go
Come fill my heart with sorrow
Save me from myself
Save me from being hollow
You know that I will go
You know that I will follow
Guide me through the haze
But please don't tear my soul apart

GIVE ME MY BREATH
VI - CINDERS

I see the dream
So odd and unclear
Mist covers everything
I see

The darkest light from distant stars

Blind in the night
Losing the sight
Running so far astray
Searching for

The darkest light from distant stars

Everything you're hiding flies as cinders in the wind
Turning into memories and steam
Moon and shadows are dancing on the surface of the sea
Silence is singing a symphony to me

Let this dream become your home
It will turn dust into gold
The wind will carry your fear far with cinders
Leaving space to grow

Let the fire burn as long
As it needs to become coals
The wind will carry your fear far with cinders
Leaving space to grow

VII - GRAVITY
You know the sacred rule
When something reaches the edge
It falls
And turns into an opposite

You want to break the rule
You want a flight without a fall
Until the sun burns down your soul

Those who see the light inside the darkness
Those who know what lies beneath the fog
Those who count the number of eternal changes
Hold the key that opens a secret lock

Do you feel?
There's someone calling
There's always someone else
Time will fix the balance
Time is cruel and gives no chance

All this time I was so brave
I touched the sun over the distance
Now the desert cold is making me feel old

All this time I wasn't wrong
Though my skin still have the burns on
But now I'm in this room and won't leave it
Until you come

So show me a whole world
Show the forever , bring me together
Hold me when I fall
And I will remember that gravity takes its toll

IIX - ROOTS

Reason always says
"You should stay on safer ground"
But reason has been there
With those who've gone astray

Something here is wrong
We suffer for the greater good
And reason is like a knife
That can cut off your life
Or it can save you

Now tell me where I need to go
Now tell me what is true
And what's the difference from the lie?
Well, tell me where I need to go
Please tell me that you know

I want to run but I stand still
My eyes can see the sun but I'm tied
To the deep roots
I want to run but I stand still
Why does it feel so real?

And I saw the dark
After I'd reached the point
The center of the black hole
The point of no-return

Calling me to stay
Promising the delight
Darkness is always there
It can cut off your life
Or it can save you
IX - CASSANDRA
We will go
Into the fire
Down below
Into the burning waters

I can say that
Some things are meant
To fade away
Inside the burning waters

We will go
Into the flames
And we will turn
Into the blazing fire

After all
You have to find that
In your soul
There's the burning fire

And I know
Some things are meant
To become gold
Inside the burning fire
