about

While enjoying his modern comforts, our hero falls asleep, and hears voices from his fireplace.

lyrics

In the darkness I can hear everything, cries of a wounded world bleeding in silence. Spirit of an ancient fire calls me to sing.

In darkness, in shadows white and blue, I can hear laughing.
In spider webs, I’m caught in, I’m wrapped in dreams of spirits past, around me now.

In darkness, I can see everything, scars of a wounded world. I can hear cries of death in the fires of convenience!

In darkness the last song of the old world dying in the fires of apathy!
Be fruitful, find something to own, as our fathers are left to the dogs, in the fires.

And the weasels spraying noise on the radio, and yet not a song left for the dying, but for the lazy ones, and the conquest of comfort, laughing and cries of the ancestors.

I can hear the cries of a wounded world in the darkness I can hear everything.
