lyrics

Bathing in the rain of the red cloud blooming in the field
Plagued by an illness, one from which I’ll never heal
The pounding drowning out the passing through the door
Do dreams invent for me a devastated shore?
Sung to slumber

I’ll flee the waves that swallow the wasted coastal land
The right hand path that leads away from ruined sand
To trees where angels fall from the canopy on high
They sing out verses of the end soon drawing nigh
Sung to slumber

It’s nearly over for all here.
Beyond the Milky Way, there is Teloe.
At Teloe, ivory bridges form bones
The rivers, veins of liquid gold.
They carry pleasure ships to paradise.
Cytharion, the realm of seven suns,
Fit to house only those divine,
Tolerating only youth, beauty and pleasure.
There, you will stay, hearing laughter and song
Until your time ends, and you return to the stars.

So through the ether, a dying planet spins below
Endless deserts where once roaring rivers flowed
A black sea growing from the center like a mouth
A fading sun like a candle winking out
Sung to slumber

OMG, late to the party but this is some of the best occult infused doom stoner tackle I've ever heard. Reference points include Sabbath (obvs), especially with the Ozzy-esque vocals but there's also the melodiousness of early Heep mixing with a more contemporary occult rock sound. It starts in the 70's and makes it to the present day. The riffs are huge but it's their way with a hook that elevates this from your average doom/stoner fare. Very wonderful indeed! egg-magoo
