lyrics
Can we transgress that sacred melody,
That once lulled single selves into solidity?
Can we dance and dismiss righteousness joyously,
And wander and err and proceed aimlessly?
There's no king of the mountain, for it's crumbled you see
And no one ascends to the top of the heap,
For the logic of mastery has failed miserably
Let us now wander, lose (our)selves as we dance
We'll light a pyre for reality and all things dead, perchance
As children we'll surface ripped loose from these millstones
And mourn as we celebrate, wander and dance
That once lulled single selves into solidity?
Can we dance and dismiss righteousness joyously,
And wander and err and proceed aimlessly?
There's no king of the mountain, for it's crumbled you see
And no one ascends to the top of the heap,
For the logic of mastery has failed miserably
Let us now wander, lose (our)selves as we dance
We'll light a pyre for reality and all things dead, perchance
As children we'll surface ripped loose from these millstones
And mourn as we celebrate, wander and dance

The music is at once modern, organic, and other-worldly; songs are stirring sonic journeys. ... more
