Asia moves her graceful body
while the small altars stand ready.
Young vestals return from the fields
with lavender stems on their heads

Corcyra anklets on their feet,
Shining bright in the sunlit street
Pizarre laid out on steps at dusk.
Muzzuni wrapped in silk scarves lush

We dance like an ancient rite,
under the last pale rays of light,
virgin souls like the Greek vestals,
They Feel pure and bright as crystals.

Ancient songs of courtship and love,
like an angel watering doves.
Candy to seal a new friendship,
As Asia softly meets my lips.

I breathe in the evening air
Echoes of old Aghlabite squares
Old couples speak in muted tones,
their phrases worn like ancient stones

We dance like an ancient rite,
under the last pale rays of light,
virgin souls like the Greek vestals,
They Feel pure and bright as crystals.

We dance like an ancient rite,
under the last pale rays of light,
like priestesses of Delphi’s shrine,
where wisdom flowed through sacred wine.

Iriteddu facitini amari,
chi ‘nni ficimu cumpari,
‘nzoccu avemu ,‘nni spartemu,
e mai ‘nni sciarriamu,
cumpari semu e cumpari ristamu,
quannu veni ‘a morti, ‘nni spartemu.

We dance like an ancient rite,
under the last pale rays of light,
virgin souls like the Greek vestals,
They Feel pure and bright as crystals.

We dance like an ancient rite,
under the last pale rays of light,
like priestesses of Delphi’s shrine,
where wisdom flowed through sacred wine.

Ancient Rite

IR1S (Intelligent Recognitive Integrated Sound) is an alternative band electronic music project where the central characters in every song are women. Each track tells a story, explores a social issue, or expresses a thought from the perspective of these protagonists, weaving together elements of both fictional narratives and real-life experiences. Drawing inspiration from strong women in literature, cinema, and dystopian worlds, IR1S creates a unique soundscape that blends powerful storytelling with evocative electronic beats.
