about

First official release

Recorded and mixed by MarxTwain
@ Oscar-Peterson Hall, Montreal

lyrics

Lying on stone with the sun in our faces we push through the question of time
Wondering if by pursuit or invention we might see the great circle unwind

The serpent must die
Freedom of direction
An end to the cycle
Ouroboros, we come for you

The twisted advance from root to exception
Undoes the weight of all words
Staring too long in all swallowing mirror
Recognize too much in the murk

Charmed to play the flute by the dancing of the cobra
Lost in motion the rhythm takes over

We are moments
Words whose meaning
Survives not
Their sentence

With culture repeated
By force of permission
An empty request
Echoes towards the absent one

Sequence unrepentant
Delinquent mind intercedes with no effect

The further we go
Loss seems more sure
But here in this moment
All that I know
Entropic forces
Endlessly dominate
Disturbing peace
Encouraged abuse
Prison of dreams
Put into use

Against the current the kicking mad infants
Shake loose the strength from their spines
Battered around and beat by the whirlpool
They are proud to drown in their own blood
