Mortemhize One of my favorite albums. A stunning combination of elements of ambient and classical instruments, a beautiful voice. love it Favorite track: ג (the high priestess of the sea).

hello swirl A feast of earthen devotion. Rich, complex tonal delights, and burning suffering. Chants reach viscerally through attractive, ritual fields.

Sort of like Coil's late great work and Christian Death's 'Ashes'; but 'the cycle...' ain't cliche.

Criticism: Tracks 7 and 8 vocals could be more mixed into the music, or music more fit to vocal tones, or a finessing of vocal tones; and reviewing lyrical relations to music flow.

Yet, track 7's sensual vocal timbres and tones stir.

Great album.

FLIP VAN CANEGEM In my opinion this is the most complete and best uncertain album to date. Moody. a little bit light in the darkness + beautifull voices. Buy blind! Favorite track: A ‡ Ω (alpha & omega).

I ascend, I arise From the sea, within me From over the water Before thine eyes From beyond tears From beyond fears I ascend over the water to be with her Archangel over me Weep not for me, tears of past ascend and no longer I descend I am with the sea I let it take me I let it take me Follow me to the sea...
3.
I cannot see you so far from the sky naked like a worm I cling to the earth clad in my thin skin Mother I cannot hear you so far from the birds I am buried underground as a serpent I cling to the roots cloaked in soft leaves Mother I cannot feel you so far from the wind I lie instead with father of the earth covered in my fine furs in the rabbit's den Mother...
4.
What sorrow is this? Blood chalice, scarlet My cup runneth over, In red seas, Jackals gnawing on seahorses Their skeletons too far below Buried under blackness I see too the flaming sky Final trumpet blows For you and I I am surrounded by a halo Mother’s womb swallows We are the dust of insects and stars
5.
O’ Great Depths, O' Starres! How long until your grace? The Priestess watches with a veil of lace Must the lion lay with the lamb of scars? O’ distant Night Sky With the vast Sea mirroring you To Rise and Fall, into your eternity for I The sublime light of the darkest blue. Archangels I follow thee Through this treacherous path The Starres have laid out for me O’ protect me from Blackened Wrath
6.
I am the wounded healer But as I watch her, I am only the wounded. She has no mother, She has no father or brother. Her body is slowly disintegrating, As this make-shift hospital Held in a Church for the suffering Falls and rots Like the body Like your loved ones Like all of your Angels and Demons But she is ascending I know this in the labyrinth of my heart Too tired of this world myself The child slowly dies The child slowly dies As the world is a wound in Christ We are dust We are stars We are Lazarus We are moths and serpents Fractal and everlasting Eternity Eternity
7.
Blackness devours us all, I am falling with a fragile body... Endless chasm for all of us to fall, Will you come with me? I don’t have very much time left. O’ Most High, O’ Most Noblest One! Take me, take me with you! I am slowly becoming undone Roots grow weak for me And my time is due Mother, mother are you there? Why thy sacrifice? The moon so far here, Why my sacrifice? Moths as blood take flight. What will become of me? Please help, Lord, please help The tide is pulling in thee Water takes me as I whelp Long tears, finally with the sea Take me, O’ dearest one, Archangels have mercy, please My time here is done. All the world in sight flees What will become of me? I see a Sea Priestess, Offering her hand. I have had enough to witness I ascend from this land, Rising as moon moths in the æther.

Reunited at long last, Elegy at one, within the æther. Freed from tattered cloth, No longer is your sorrowful past. Archangel of all moons of the moth. I saw you arise triumphant, Away from this burning world. From within the blackened hospital, When you made your sacred covenant, To forever be at peace with all. You left behind a light, a halo, Of flower petals, dust, and twine More beautiful at night, with the moon Under which to drink from a chalice of wine, We pray for your promised return. Forever remembered, O’ Holy Child, Your pain, your sacrifice, your suffering - All that you did without eyes’ sight, For this world forever defiled. That was undeserving of your light. Adrift within the sea of grace, Sacred seahorses swell around you, Almighty and understanding, Preparing us for all that we may face. Now amongst the starres for us, beckoning. Elegy, O’ Fox of Tattered Cloth The last of your family to Fall Rising like tides at the Full Moon. Forever sacred is the moth, Transformation by night within the cocoon. "I’ve come home..."

about

elegy - the fox of tattered cloth - is the last of her family
in the sea of starres she immerses herself in a transcendental state
where her body withers yet her ghost shall rise rise rise
