Obtuse 06:12
This is the blood That we must take This is the blood That we must take Cut off the head To water the seeds empty the vessel and fill it again cut off the head She will rise, in the skin... In the skin, she will rise… She wants blood! She wants blood! our future lives! Rise!
3.
Helm 07:36
I took my boat out to sea, I was alone, I told no one where I’d gone I took my small boat to the ocean, Under the sun, above and so below, Burning, blistering heartache Diamonds danced upon the water I reached out a pale hand. Drowned and long dead, It wrapped itself around me It sank into depths Down passed a hundred thousand albatross Under my boat in the ocean, I was alone, I told no one where I'd gone. Under the sun, above and so below, Burning, blistering heartache Albatross!

Shadow 05:32
Before a dark veil, Vined with fruit, A sacred flora blooms….Blooms (you ask to look upon my face behold your death) Sun burning lands, Moon drowning cities, Bedlam of animals singing. A terrible face emerges (you ask to look upon my face behold your death)

Gargantua 04:59
Alone drifting Primeval Nebula She unfolds Bent of jaws and eyes Dormant alphas Waiting in nothingness Hungry to pull her into collapse Sacred disc Forming life Out of agony
6.
Cromagnon 07:05
I came here with my father away but forward into abyss to become the man I will be seated as sun at dusk in a cave as a boy Loose leather flagged on my body dark water fed me, but No sign from beyond the thunderbird nothing of my fate My legs collapsed, my arms bent but my throat opened called out a deep longing out of the cave into the abyss A great animal's breath shifted the sky, the clouds blackened northern wind like bears and lions A blazing arrow set them all on fire I am the Flame I am the Son.
