Lyrics:

Cold armor steel of time

I feel your sharp blade

Cutting the unscalable line

Behind my solitary parade

Born to stay captured

I walk the tightrope

Grown to be fractured

My heart full of hope

Time isn’t a great healer

It’s a vicious cutting edge

Faith is a soft concealer

Life’s an unfulfilled pledge

Cold armor steel of time

I feel your sharp blade

Cutting the unscalable line

Behind my solitary parade

Time isn’t a great healer

It’s a vicious cutting edge

Faith is a soft concealer

Life’s an unfulfilled pledge

Cold armor steel of time

Open collaboration ...

Evelina Miteva is trying something which is new to her.

She was reading her Bulgarian poem "Flag of Peace" and I used it as an inspiration for my music.

You might like to have a look at the very literal (almost crappy - as Evelina calls it) English translation of the Bulgarian text (also below).

Flag of Peace

Allow me to surrender,

to disappear.

Let me go

from this endless feast

of the endless attempts

not to fail

to stand in line with myself,

to resist myself.

Allow me to dress up in white,

to wade a white flag,

allow me not to survive.

//

Знаме на мира

Позволи ми да се предам,

да изчезна.

Позволи ми да си отида

от този безкраен празник

от безкрайните опити

да не се проваля

да стоя в строй със себе си,

да устоя на себе си.

Позволи ми да се облека в бяло,

да развея бяло знаме,

позволи ми да не оцелея.

I was just outlining my mood ...

Experimental midi-painted waves, different frequencies and sounds, mixed via Ableton 10, with a 2nd half just reversed. Image with photographed young wave-watchers at Riviera seaside. The sound gives an musical impression of wave-watching.

Some sounds from "Holy Error Sample Pack" by https://soundcloud.com/sotesound

added my ambiental guitar sounds, and a modified freesound.org sample (blackbird).

Lyrics & vocals by Augenmerk (@augenmerk)

musically embedded by Seelensack

in German

Mit der Königsdisziplin vertraut werden, dem Feind die Hand reichen, der Liebe ins Wort schauen, mein Herzwohl in den Raum öffnen und verzichten auf's Normale, vergessen, was normal war, mein Jetzt, das Katastrophale, ins Licht stellen, anvertrauen, übergeben, die Sichel vom Nacken nehmen, den Brand von den Flammen lösen, mein stilles Verzweifeln verstehen, Abschied nehmen vom Gewohnten, ich werde diesen Weg gehen.

Translation:

To become familiar with the supreme discipline, shake hands with the enemy, intervene/look in the word of love, open my heart's well into space and forgo the normal, forget what was normal, put my now, the catastrophic, into the light, entrust, surrender, take the sickle off the neck, part the fire from the flames, say goodbye to the usual, I will go this way.

This is part of a collaborative venture.

From Augenmerk:

Riders in the storm use their wings from heart to heart. No borders. Become familiar with the supreme discipline. The heaven is possible. These times want voices, bridges, roads of love. At the beginning there was the word, I'm not sure, but here it is. Be fantastic and ride! People around the world, artists, musicians, vocalists, participate in your own way, style and language. Spread and connect.

Be riders in the storm!

Twisted folk tune, "We Shall Overcome"
