Time Settles - Lyrics: 

And the decision made a hole, a vacancy in a vital inner chamber in my bones
This is what finally separated me from all my friends for whom I became skeletal

Time settles over me
Time settles over me 

And then the places I visit became the same inside world that I thought I was in
And like a fly scribbling the air I know neither the place nor what the hour is

Time settles over me
Time settles over me

And I, far off inside, was old

And now the years are closing in, each minute the last minute and following me

Time Settles

Whisper of the Abyss

Out 01 September, 2025. A jump in a alternative, goth and metal with black and symphonic approach, alway in the Nocturune Collective key. 

Ride with the fire (feat. Linda Zanca)

A symbolist descent into decadence and suffocation. Beauty becomes a burden, desire curdles into decay.

Velvet breathes… it clings to skin,  
A touch so soft it sinks within.  
Each thread a promise, dark and deep,  
Each fold a secret I can’t keep.  

Beneath the weight of velvet red,  
Desire feasts where angels bled.  
Perfume thick, it steals the air,  
A love too rich for flesh to bear.  

The weight of velvet pulls me down,  
Silken hands that make me drown.  
Beauty smothers, sweet and cruel,  
A dying breath, a velvet tomb.  

Lips of wine and eyes of stone,  
Pleasure turns the heart to bone.  
Each kiss heavier than before,  
Until I breathe — no more, no more.  

Soft as night,  
Dark as sin,  
The velvet takes —  
And pulls me in.  

The weight of velvet pulls me down,  
The beauty burns, I wear the crown.  
Beneath its touch, I fade, I swoon —  
My body lost, my breath consumed.  

[outro (Spoken whisper, fading into reverb)]  
Velvet sighs…  
And I am gone.

The Ghost That Walks

Taste” is Malik Cross’s showcase of intimacy and groove — a song that blends smooth falsetto runs with a spoken intro that sets the mood. Built on minimal R&B production, it’s a track that invites listeners into a moment of sweetness and vulnerability, like sugar touched by honey. More than just a love song, “Taste” reflects the Stamped & Rooted™ mission: music that carries justice, solidarity, and truth while still moving the body and soul. This isn’t about algorithms or charts — it’s about resonance, legacy, and the healing power of sound.
