1.	Buried Giant 09:43	lyrics	buy track
Buried giant Another life I should have lived But I have failed To save me My shade My blackened heart My way to eternity The road is empty Of myself A nefarious labyrinth In the deepest darkness I should ignite the heart Disrupt the Shell forging the dance of a new being I am the sun I am the moon I am water and blood The earth, the air All, nothing, everything in between Underneath the rain that falls from a sky that has forgotten how to make it rain, I hear the distant voices coming with the tide. I don't know if they are songs of pain or joy, but I tear that distance and bring them to this day. In doing so, I know that I am truly alive.
2.	Where my heart went 10:07	lyrics	buy track
where my heart went Nothing I dare to say About the way I remember the past Old memories are hidden in the fog Where my heart went to fade and die Through this mist, my blood flows dorment The numbness of the body is the comfort of the soul Illusory, it is true, for the world of oblivion Is where my heart went to fade and die (est, ubi cor meum defluit et mori)
3.	A vision in the fog 09:09	lyrics	buy track
A vision in the fog It's so dense here that the rain wouldn't fall, even if the sky knew how to make it rain. In the fog, bitter memories do not exist, There, too, memories of happiness are lost from life. What if love is nothing more than the fear of solitude, And the desire for conquest a consequence of a loveless journey? There's a vision in the fog that reminds me who I was. So alone, so fragile, that maybe doesn't even exist. Which makes me wonder, if in this silence, My whole world has not already disappeared. It would be sad to know that there is no mercy in this life, And only the mist will forgive us of our sins.

about

Buried Giant is a conceptual album, drawing inspiration from Kazuo Ishiguro's novel, 'The Buried Giant.' The album's lyrics poignantly delve into themes of memory loss, the disintegration of the individual as a living entity, the profound awareness of this degenerative process, and the relentless struggle for self-preservation. As the moment arrives, it signifies the defeat of the mind, a journey into death, even though the body endures. It's akin to a dormant seed, silently awaiting the summons of its own ashes.
