LYRICS:
Spiral down below our feet
You cut the ties between the earth and you
The taste of your liquid defeat
The mourning of losing you

The early days feel so near
Two minds alive under the tender rain
The future so crystal clear
But you are washed in pain

Pull me under this filthy water
But I'll watch you from far above
Scratch the surface, push yourself, swim higher
To take me home
Take me home

The lights revolved around this dream
And I sustain the will to move on
Now you lay and rest serene
Wave goodbye, begone

Pull me under this filthy water
But I'll watch you from far above
Scratch the surface, push yourself, swim higher
To take me home
Take me home

Pull me under this filthy water
But I'll watch you from far above
Scratch the surface, push yourself, swim higher
To take me home
Take me home

LYRICS:
We are one collective consciousness within ourselves
Through the pathway of light we will crack these shelves
Magic is the science we are yet to uncover
Recognize the patterns, waiting for us to discover

We are one
And we are the dawn that pushes the sun
We are one
And we are the unit that never gets outrunned 

Believe than we will reach the understanding
What's before the beginning and after the ending?
These black holes must fail to pull under what is shining
Every cloud has a silver lining 

We are one
And we are the dawn that pushes the sun
We are one
And we are the unit that never gets outrunned

The form dies, but the matter is immortal
Reach out and step outside the circle
The form dies, but the matter is immortal
Reach out and step outside the circle
 
We are one
And we are the dawn that pushes the sun
We are one
And we are the unit that never gets outrunned

'Aetherea' (Album Stream)

Kings Of Nothing

Time Will Heal

Sacrificed and suffocated
Self-esteem and pride are fading
You are not who you believed you were

Suicide consumes your red mind
Anger at nature and mankind
You took the skies for granted and now you're facing desperation

Mirror of Illusion! (4x)

Every time you try to fool yourself
You end up blaming the world itself
Maybe you have spent too much time in denial

Pain in you, bliss in me, still what do I see?
Another human being who could think free
Still alive you slip into pure and simple fiction

Mirror of Illusion! (4x)

Butterflies only live for a few days
They enjoy it in their own ways
I try to help on your depression maze

Dear friend, can't you wait for tomorrow?
Live like you have no one to follow
Don't cry, don't swallow the cracks in sorrow

Mirror of Illusion! (4x)
Break the mirror to find the solution
You can trust me, there's no occlusion
You've been making your own exclusion
Thanks to the mirror of illusion

Blackbird Prophet were formed in the summer of 2011, operating initially as a three-men studio project, due to lack of a complete line-up. The project finally turned into a band in the spring of 2012.
In February 2012, the first demo entitled “Symbolic Introduction” was finished. The demo was recorded between October 2011 and February 2012 in Bruno Costa’s home studio. The full demo was, however, never fully released, with only some of the material ending up online. 

In the autumn of 2012, finally with a stable line-up, Blackbird Prophet started performing live shows around the area of Porto (Portugal), both as an opening act and has headliner.
Between July and August 2013, the band entered Estudios Entreparedes to record their debut E.P/mini-album.
"Aetherea" will be released both physically and digitally on the 11th January 2014!
