lyrics

From the eyes to the brain
Through the nerves and the heart
A fash, the tide
And within few seconds
It will be dark forever
I wanted to believe in something that could last
More than the time of every wait
More than a memory which disappears at the rhythm of the seasons...

But what does it matter now,
if through the touch of my hands
every quiver spreads until my bones
if I wish the senses of the night animals
(the smell of a fox and the sight of an owl?)

We were dreaming about
tiny shadows dancing on colored disks of paper
Which in the dim light spin all around (around around)
In the illusion to be motion and life
We were breaking in a half
Like the mast of a ship
Torn apart after an endless storm

But now i need you to be stronger than me
Perfect geometric shape
Acrobat and snake handler
But Now I need you to be
my sight
my guide
my mirror

Because this love made me blind and
unable to recognize myself

Now I need you to be more real than any each breath of mine,
Depiction of an ancient beauty
Carved on the walls of the caves
Now I need you to be the recurrence that I was waiting for
Now I need you to be my optical deception

I just wanted to tell you again,
Look at me When you wake up
And I’ll bring you the sun from my eyes
And we won’t have any fear of the dark anymore
Of these rooms with no walls
Which we built to hide ourselves

because compared to you everything turns to dust.
I’ll still be waiting
Despite everything...

These guy's love the Devin townsend's Epic sound Which sounds as if its from another reality, And they make their own Hyper yet drifting Similar to seeing a comet whizzing by the atmosphere. A joy to witness but over, As soon as the majesty of it all sinks in! John Chaos Alexander

I must be a troglodite commenting in 2024, but here we are, with primal riffs and knuckle dragging tone, inventing fire whenever Estron is played. I am no archeologist, but I dig the f@ck outta Slomatics!! Justin@BlindMouse
