Ask Owl
03:49

"Owl, look at me"
"What is going on?" - she asked
"You know better than I" - I said
"It's been going on for some time
Nightly your song echoes from the banished world"
"Listen. I feel afraid
There is no connection now
There is a pain and it never goes away
I can't recall how we got this way
Everything in my head is out of place"
"Owl, look at me"
"What is going on?" - she asked
"You know better than I" - I said
"Betrayal is the way we lost your trust, and
This ever-present fear in darkness will remind us"

Anti-Lullaby
03:20

Lillith was the first
And she was her own
She wasn't made
From Adam's rib bone
This is anti-lullaby
This is an anti-lullaby
Lillith is an outcast
Like all that is true
She's all of your fears
That look back at you
This is anti-lullaby
This is an anti-lullaby

Cats on the rooftop sleeping
But one of these nights to the sound of crickets croaking
We will awake
And boiling over in disgust like kettles
We will turn the world upon its head
We are the Holy Cats
I am the Holy Cat
I am the Almighty
Many kettles boil within me
Amen

Molfar

Opening up the doors
Leaving the rooms behind
Where we once dwelt in fear
Locked up in solitude
Leaving the rooms of pain
Smile upon every face
Glowing with joy within
The ritual shall begin
Let's dance, let's dance, join with us
Laying the fear aside
Casting it in the dark
Saying don't bother me now
The banquet's already begun
No more to scream and scream
Beating my fists on the door
No more the cries of pain
From human or beast again
Let's dance, let's dance, join with us
Furniture rearranged
The table is already set
Dancing the circle dance
Laughing with no remorse
Take your right to rise up
You have a right to rise up

House of Shards
02:48
|

In this life I have been through too much
I keep finding fragments that don’t match,
memories, pieces that can’t be attached,
glued, assembled, connected with such
randomness… I feel out of touch.
No way to assemble
No way to construct
I cannot be joined
I have no contact
It’s so hard to remember, to accept and smile,
Like you can’t restore the window from it’s shards.
Lost in a maze of unbeknown parts,
Where is the exit? Too many guards.
Wish me take flight at least for a while,
No, not into death,
But just in the dawn,
In beautiful morning,
No loss or forlorn.
In radiant wisdom,
In lustrous sea…
My song will be simple:
“I’m free. Can you see?”

Something Broke Inside
04:43
|
|||
Awoken in fear
By my silent scream.
I dreamt of spitting shards with blood.
Did something break inside?
What was that?
Something inside,
Made of glass,
Something fragile,
The body didn’t hurt.
But inside all torn
And screaming: “What was that?”
Have you ever heaved up blood,
Shattered like glass,
Shouted silently?
What was that?

Spell
02:48

Neither hope, nor light, nor place, nor choice for him remain
Just the road to nowhere winding on
Not a soul, nor friend, nor comrade to spur him on
Maybe it's because the night was black as pitch
And he said that now there is nothing left to fear
And he went into new towns and unfamiliar places then
Strange alleyways he found waiting to greet him and
The walls of the buildings whispered their stories
And their secrets known only to few were revealed unto him
And the world was in awe of his art inconceivable
Not to burn in the fire
Nor freeze in the chill
Nor be soaked in the rain
Nor lost in the fog
To see in the dark
Like a bird take flight
And not to die
