about

Featuring Kristiāna Kārkliņa on vocals and backvocals;
"Awaiting Darkness", poem by Alejandra Pizarnik

lyrics

I Sighs of the sea
II The Deluge
III Ravens keep coming back
IV The Star, The Lighthouse and The Scut of the White Rabbit
V Awaiting darkness

That instant that cannot be forgotten
So empty
sent back by the shadows
So empty
rejected by the clocks
That poor instant adopted by my tenderness
Naked
naked of blood of wings
Without eyes
to remember anguish of old
Without lips
to gather the juice of violences
lost in the singing of frozen belltowers.

Shelter it
you girl blind of soul
Give it
your hair scorched by fire
Hug it
you little statue of terror
Show it
the world convulsing at your feet
At your feet
where woodswallows die
Trembling in fear of the future

Tell it
that the sighs of the sea
Dampen the only words
That make life worth living
