about

This is the first song we wrote after we decided to form this band.
We all met up one weekend with nothing but a desire to create something together, and when the weekend was over we had written and recorded this track, which later became “Rite Of Passage”, plus a different version of what later would become the song “Funeral Fire”.
This is therefore a rough and unedited version of that first encounter, but something we felt like sharing anyway or maybe just because of that.

lyrics

Lying in a pond of eutrophic lethargy
Long gone seems the day of enlightenment
I feel so lost, I feel so lovelorn
The atmosphere of my mind darkened
Spine sharpened into a spear, growing through my skull
Shattering the multi-detailed memories of the past with no weight
Succumbing to the grief
Waves of joy evaporating and bleeding into space
