*Official Lyrics

slowly the drip wet
holds you close
that passionate flare
well it’ll come and go
from the shrine to the recycled vine
there we reached the tree line 
in a synced bind
illuminate but consigned
once I relied on you to remind
that what took such looks
to agree with the extensions of our vine
our  eyes the corresponding lines
defined customs so fine
 
slowly softly
receiving the light
there it leads you on
if I turn you on
would it cover me
 
show me there
the symmetry
completely covers me
 
did you hear me
when the whispers grow clearly
something I can believe
and did the bright lights
remain in soar eyes
as far as the eye can see
 
show me now
tell it
tell it aloud
post it
read it
read it
read it aloud

official lyrics

vindicate 
sustain 
you’ll relate
to the imagined wingspan 
the transcending state
what’s left soluble
perfect design 
to build volumes full
of philosophies replenished themes
if the memory rescinds
a violent history left to defend
forward expand
never end 
never ending ands 
add  it up 
fill our cup 
with something more than bland
 
won’t you shine in the twilight
somewhere in my life
I know that you’re renown
but I have my doubts
 
well I 
well I know
that you’ll have to see me
on the underground
 
so give me
one more chance
to hold my own
don’t run away
if you wanna relate
to the place
where the smiles were made
 
pull me out of the quicksand 
 
and you lie there
are you aware
of the side I
of the side I lean
well I think
I’m loosing my
dreams of you
and I can’t
reach for a smile
I’m the one to defend
all those
who admire
the weaker end

Angels of the Silences (Last Upload)

Hello and welcome to my SoundCloud Page.  My name is Douglas Jay Hertel and my solo music project is called Prose in Rosette.  I created this title and musical endeavor back in 2004.   I have always been fascinated with the technology used in recording real audio sounds, and have a strong belief that acoustic instruments and the life required to produce the acoustic sounds, timbre and properties of the specific instrument has a great sense of beauty, intimacy as well as uniqueness.  Sure my technique, approach and style is limited to my ability as well as influence; however, I still like to keep this project as something I come back to in my attempt to constantly improve, learn and explore the wonderful world of organized sound.
