Il Gigante 06:01
From the ice Comes a creature Immense and strong Demanding fear All the unbelievers Begging for forgiveness Human kind On its knees No remorse No understanding Plain agony Destruction and death All the unbelievers Begging for forgiveness Human kind On its knees
2.
Hierophant 06:14
a thousand times a thousand worlds tireless traversal of the infinite expanse a thousand times a thousand deaths forever stand with you till creation is undone I never quit I never fail Endless discovery Endless delight and with it suffering, violation and fight I never quit I never fail Last to stand and bathe in the ashes of the world Don’t be afraid Don’t run away That’s where you need to be That’s how it has to be

Tonight the skies explode right before my eyes Witches descend and bring misery and fire Nothing is what it was - nothing is sane inside and outside world violently collide Ιs it you that holds the keys Ιs it you that does Ιs it you that holds the keys Ιnto my mind Wyrd sisters Witching brothers Undo the world or is just my mind that’s been undone
4.
Your life is forfeit your pain is my gain Dark wings embrace you Thy hell awaits beat the Αtabaku call the goddess forth bathe in sacred blood king among pawns become beat the holy drum call the goddess forth bathe in Omo Oba blood call Nzalam forth caged in a white room all I see now is empty walls i make the holy signs but I get no response beat the Αtabaku call the goddess forth bathe in my own blood silence from above beat the holy drum call the goddess forth bathe in my own blood oh lord I'm all alone
5.
Descent unto the psychedelic doom Within the eyes of man awakes The demon that we all hold within Follow the bright path to the outside world Plight fall upon the misbegotten lives Their gaze fixed upon golden calves Misconceived and vain are human ends Pestilence and war is all around Many make one enduring consciousness This beehive is strong but its fragile Cracks appear where previously there were none Cracks appear and grow wider and wider
6.
Anthropocene 06:32
The Spirit of Invention mutates Corroded by lies and nefarious plans Ancient myths will come to pass Greed and fear control our minds Forgotten shamans strive to survive their Mushroom visions pave the way Touch the ground, feel the earth Anthropocenic future saved

Tenbones 03:44
In the mist of dreams I’m lost once again Seducing images dance right in front of my head what is this beast that’s looking right at me his eyes are deep and kind ferociously built He’s here to save me or he's come for the kill The cuckoo whispers but whom I to believe Upon his shoulders the whole of dreaming stands So I will follow him to the centre of this world yeah Who are you Tenbones Ashore the island landing confused and dazed The beast beside me looks at me and waves Under the sand there is a worm that holds the truth Under the sand there is a worm that tells the truth yeah Who are you Tenbones

Bastard Sword Athens, Greece

Risen from the petrichore-infused underground levels of the Sacred Belt, this Greek-born trio ascends to the Cosmic Beehive and takes a long, winding journey through the less traveled, stellar fields of doom.
