TheEliteExtremophile The music here is fittingly astral. It often reminds me of a slightly-more-spaced-out Tool. There’s good grit and build and drama to the three songs here, and they know when to take things in weirder, wonkier directions to maintain variation.

One voice under the Stars - lyrics If stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and preserve, for father and son, the memory of the city of God? “Revelations Book” Wrap yourself in the dark to know how to live without light While you only feel silence and the light of all stars. Fear running through my veins. It’s a game of Gods, who will turn off the light first wins. To madden in a trice! Oh! The time is running out with the last ray of the sun A thousand years have passed and now you’ll never be part of me. The stars shine in the sky. Learn to wrap yourself in the dark to fly away when it all feels real. Along with your eyes, when nightfall will come the flames will light up the way into the night. Can you hear their song? Radio waves emit their words They sing a rhyme that sounds like a lie. I can’t hear it We can’t hear it anymore And Sunlight hides in your eyes We’re screaming as one to take out what’s inside while we wait for the end of the fall. Clearing your mind, ready to live without light? They just want you to listen to their song High notes exploding in my brain… to melt away! What is there in the Darkness that drives me mad? “This was the Dark. The Dark and the Cold and the Doom. Thirty thousand mighty suns shone down in a soul-shearing splendor. The long night had come again” And now, the change, it’s here, in my head. and we are the crowd, we are the voice. We are one voice that looks into the dark, the crowd that sings to real life We are one voice that sings to our hearts. the crowd that looks into the dark. I realize I’ve always lived as a puppet Who listened to everything that faith wanted from me I’ve heard so many things that shaped our roots. Words written in holy books, beautiful... powerful

End of Light 05:56
Silver domes, glass and bronze lions giants made of stone, wonders of light. In this twilight, the lighthouse in front of the dark sea waves scream madly towards the cliffs. I will remember golden tones your ebony skin under the sun. The copper of the clock vibrating with the chiming of the first Midnight They play “the end of light” the tolling of the clock in the first Midnight I watched you disappear. Like a ghost, a silent shape, breaking free from their chains cause we’re an offer entrusted to the night Hide the sunlight! Darkness in my room, your body is a song. Hide the sunlight! Your body is a song when I close my eyes Your body is a song when I close my eyes To image you as a little girl! I don’t want to lose my memory! The copper of the clock vibrating with the chiming of the first Midnight They play “the end of light” the tolling of the clock in the first Midnight I will remember golden tones your ebony skin under the sun. I’m breaking free from their chains I don’t want to lose my memory!

Is it you who feeds the flames So that everything is kept enlightened? Or is it you who burns without fire So that everything is kept in the dark? It will be a slow road opposing death To find answers and ignore our fate Is it you who touches the wall To wipe off the dust with your hands? We have never left that room And we are wearing out… And now forget the questions Cause time consumed them. With euphoria in our blood We got lost along the way. the lines that draw The streets arrive to the observatory And vanish into thin air. The fear of the dark emphasizes the flames And the hearts no longer know Why they keep beating hard. And you… are you wearing out? I don't want to wander By the secret land Without uncovering The garden of your wiles. Traveling out of time, Doesn’t belong to me. Where there is no light And we’ll be wearing out Now there is no light And we have to meet on the way Words Hidden words In the ground, Dreaming to bloom. To bloom. Lose their reason. You waited a lifetime. You waited a lifetime The soul of the sentences That you wanted to sell me Were buried over time They remained afloat And now we are awake With the last light of our days Is it you who feeds the flames So that everything is kept enlightened? Or is it you who burns without fire So that everything is kept in the dark? No, by now i won’t be wearing out

about

End of Light is a concept EP dedicated entirely to Nightfall, a short story by Isaac Asimov (1941).

Through pieces built on digression and extended lengths, the music brings the sci-fi climates of Asimov's writing back to life. Although the progressive vein and psychedelic mood play out purely on heavy rock rhythms, there is no shying away from experimentation, especially in terms of arrangement.
