Lightless, lifeless
Shapeless, wakeless
Thoughtless, causeless
Lightless, lifeless
Inert space - encircling all
Thoughtless, causeless
Nameless and impartial
Shapeless, wakeless
An emptiness - the source of all
Thoughtless, causeless
Nameless and impartial
Drifting around in a boundless dark
Unaware and vast asleep
Asleep without a dream
A body without being
Unconsciously moving
Beyond the state of nothingness
Onwards through stillness
And born from this void
We open our eyes
And turn to face the light
We open our hearts
Ablaze with life
We open our eyes
And turn to face the light
We open our hearts
Ablaze with life

Mask
07:30
|
|||
|
Ungrounded, lost and estranged
Dazed within a trance-like state
So far removed
So estranged
To confuse the mask
For our true face
A vital truth, lies obscured
By illusory separation of self
Open up and recall
That all things resonate throughout
As in one, so in each
As in you, so in me
Reflects the transcendent, myriadly
Drifting along an endless curve
In a perfect recursive symmetry
But we seek with mundane eyes
What we fail to see with heart
But we seek with mundane eyes
What we fail to see with heart

Ego
11:58
|

|
I cut through the cord that ties
Us to heavenly realms
I find my Self falling away from view
Back into the Night
Panic strangles me, I lose control
Yet I cannot let go
Of this traumatic experience
Have I forgotten how?
No word from my mouth
Will reach your ears
Like stones they fall
From my tongue
Sinking into
The deep without
From which nothing
Does resound
How can I find the way
Through the dark back to my Self
If there is no one here
No voice or light that guides
Losing all sense of direction
And perception of time
Like a thousand lives have passed through me
In the blink of an eye

Death
12:10
|
|||
|
Mind and spirit cease to be
Diminishing
An uninvolved mechanical state
Clinging onto this tremendous weight
Outworn, overstrung
Abandon this cell of constraints
Withered, broken
No longer resisting the pain
Surrender the ‘I’
Allow subtleties to be felt again
Dissect, observe, reflect
Adapt and circulate back
Into being

An absolutely amazing album that reaches you to the bottom of the abyss. Gaia takes you by the hand, tells you that you're not alone in this, the pain is over, the misunderstanding of your pain is over and accompanied by keyboards, violins, acoustic guitars, cello and amazing vocals, she pulls you out of the disgusting mire of your mind and together you embark on a journey of melancholy, despondency, hope, pessimism and the seasons.

This album. That's exactly the kind of stuff that I like. The guitars, the voice, the melodies...I had it since I don't know when in my wishlist and I don't understand why I've waited so long to buy it...But it's in any case an excellent find!! Recommended to all death doom lovers!!
