1. THE HERMITAGE

(Instrumental)


2. MUTE REALMS OF LIFE

Into the woods I wander
Into mute realms of life
Out from noise of dead realms
Killed by human plague

Million thoughts of murder
to cleanse this plague
I am but one
and they are the hive
Better to walk away
To return to oneness

Into the clear and pure
Into myself, the universe
Out from madness and poisons
Out from chains of fear


3. RELINQUISHMENT OF FILTH OF SLAVERY

Crossing stones and rivers
The scent clears filth of man
Force fed apples of poison
Fabricated nightmare stories

Here I am as are the trees
and thousand beings
Feeding on apples of life
Awake to the dreaming universe

Yet,
Still the chains of humanity
slowing my step
Tying my hands of existence


4. CATHARSIS IN BLOOD

Death I have to face
Or darkness shall take me

I hear the wolves in hunger
Howling for my flesh

With stones in my hand
I shake and tremble

Under racing hearth
I surrender and die to life

A force takes me
I smash their heads open

With scent of blood
Chains of slavery are broken


5. RITUALS OF SNOW IN FLESH

As the moon rises again
I walk the path
Of ancients
The Arhats
One with Nature
In earth as in
Distant star clouds

Eternal chaos winds
Of death and rebirth
Yet, forever in peace
What defines galaxies
Defines my flesh
In winters of suffering
Indefinable realizes itself

Out of man
As definer of flesh
And galaxies
