I'm putting the words here because, as is so often with rock, I can barely understand the singers' words ... and I wrote them! 🤔
 
Who could with just mere words describe
The dark deeps of the wisdom you bestow
On those who leave their fears behind
To meet you in your realm below.

Without the dark, there can be no growth. 
Seeds cannot germinate in the light. 
The great lord Pluto hears all those 
for whom the usual darts and slights
of human suffering 
are as nothing, compared 
to the unbearable lightness of being. 

At your Dark Majesty’s request
We lay this dedication at your feet.
The Lord of the Underworld, no less,
Our offering's here at your behest.

Who could with just mere words describe
The dark deeps of the wisdom you bestow
On those who leave their fears behind
To meet you in your vast realm below.

Who could count the blessings you rain
On the lives of those who understand
That with rebirth, like birth, comes pain
And suffering we must withstand.

At your Dark Majesty’s request
We lay your names at your holy feet.
Pluto, Arawn, Set, Shiva,
Hades, Pan and Gwyn ap Nudd.

Pluto

A song of beauty, pain, and surrender.
Inspired by Morrison’s poetic darkness, The Velvet Knife blends blues, tango, and cinematic soul — where love hurts, but creation redeems.

Tango of the Undying is a dark, hypnotic fusion of psychedelic rock and tango noir — a ritual of life, death, and desire.
Through smoke and rhythm, each song becomes a confession whispered to the night.
This is not an album — it’s a dance with the inevitable, a heartbeat shared with death and passion intertwined.
Haunting baritone vocals echo Morrison’s ghost, while Rhodes organs, bandoneons, and burning guitars paint a crimson stage where love bleeds and beauty refuses to die.
You don’t listen to this record — you feel it breathing through your bones.
