A gentle invitation to wonder, curiosity, and open-hearted exploration. This song opens the album with a spark of discovery — where questions matter more than answers. 

Echo of Wonder

I see a shadow when you smile
It lingers there
It stays awhile
Behind the mask
A secret's curled
A hidden map to your shattered world

Behind the mask
What do you hide
A stormy sea or a quiet tide
Is it fear
Is it fire
Is it fear
Is it fire
Is it pain inside
Behind the mask
Where do you confide

Vessels to Mars

A story about a boy who dreamed of escaping his steel-town roots for the silence of space, only to find that the fire of the factories and the voice of a love he left behind burn brighter and call louder than any star. It's a song about how the places and people that make us are carried with us, always.

Let’s not mince words here. Trump is the embodiment of corruption, greed, and incompetence. He’s a man who has spent his entire life looking out for himself, exploiting others, and leaving chaos in his wake. As De Niro so eloquently put it: *“He’s a dog. He’s a pig. He’s a con. He’s a bullsh*t artist. He’s a mutt who doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”* This isn’t just about politics—it’s about morality. It’s about standing up to a man who has no respect for the rule of law, no respect for the truth, and no respect for the American people.  

Trump’s presidency was a disaster. He divided the country, emboldened hate, and failed to deliver on his promises. He’s a man who thrives on chaos, who lies with every breath, and who cares only about his own ego. As De Niro said: *“He’s a punk, he’s a dog, he’s a mutt. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He’s an idiot. He’s a fool.”* And yet, here we are, facing the possibility of him returning to power. We cannot let that happen. We cannot allow this man to continue to poison our democracy.  

This is not just about Trump—it’s about the people who enable him. The sycophants, the cowards, and the opportunists who stand by his side and allow his corruption to flourish. They are just as guilty as he is. As De Niro said: *“They’re all scum. They’re all mutts. They don’t know what they’re talking about.”* We need to hold them accountable. We need to stand up and fight back.  

The stakes are too high to sit on the sidelines. This is about the soul of our nation. It’s about protecting our democracy, our values, and our future. We cannot afford to let Trump and his enablers win. We must vote, we must organize, and we must make our voices heard. As De Niro said: *“We’re gonna fight back. We’re gonna fight back with everything we’ve got.”*  

So let’s do this. Let’s come together and defeat Trump once and for all. Let’s show the world that we are better than this. That we will not tolerate corruption, lies, and hate. That we will stand up for what’s right. As De Niro said: *“We’re gonna win. We’re gonna win because we have to.”*  

This is our moment. This is our fight. Let’s get to work.

"Breaking Free" is the aftermath — the moment of tearing loose from the ruins and rising stronger.
Industrial grit collides with metalcore fury and hard rock fire: calm, tense verses give way to anthemic choruses, snarling screams, and a defiant guitar solo that cuts through the smoke.
Ashes fall, wires lie broken, but the strength returns. This is the sound of leaving destructiveness behind and walking into the light.

Part of the ongoing ASHCOIL journey, following the chaos of Black Static and the betrayal of Witch in the Wires.

Lyrics:

Ashes fall, the fire’s behind,
Scars remain but I’ve drawn the line.
No more chains to hold me down,
I’m standing tall on broken ground.

Your voice can’t haunt me,
Your grip can’t stay.
I found my courage,
I’ll walk away.

I’m breaking free, I rise from the wreckage,
Leaving the ruin, I carry the flame.
I take my strength from the storm you created,
No longer yours, I’m my own name.

Every wound has turned into steel,
Every cut taught me how to heal.
Through the dark, I’ve found my spark,
Now I’m the fire that lights the dark.

Your voice can’t haunt me,
Your grip can’t stay.
The walls are falling,
I’ve found my way.

I’m breaking free, I rise from the wreckage,
Leaving the ruin, I carry the flame.
I take my strength from the storm you created,
No longer yours, I’m my own name.

Breaking free! Breaking free!

I’m breaking free, I rise from the wreckage,
Stronger than ever, I’ll never be chained.
The storm is over, the dawn is burning,
I walk away, I’m free again.

Porteur d'un rêve oublié

Zhuoma
A name carried by countless Tibetan women – a symbol of beauty, compassion, and feminine strength. A song for the daughters of Tibet, whose voices weave the melody of the heart.


Her name is whispered in the mountain song,
Zhuoma has lived in our hearts all along.
From village to valley, her laughter will stay,
a daughter of Tibet, as bright as the day.

Zhuoma, Zhuoma, your spirit shines,
a thousand voices call your name in the pines.
Every girl carries your gentle flame,
Tibet remembers through your name.

She walks with the rivers, she sings with the sky,
her prayer is a banner that never will die.
Zhuoma is every sister we know,
a name like the flowers where soft winds blow.

Zhuoma, Zhuoma, your spirit shines,
a thousand voices call your name in the pines.
Every girl carries your gentle flame,
Tibet remembers through your name.

When the singers gather, the stories begin,
Zhuoma is the song we are singing within.

Zhuoma, Zhuoma, your spirit shines,
a thousand voices call your name in the pines.
Every girl carries your gentle flame,
Tibet remembers through your name.
