“Soul Hunt” is one of the most direct and visceral tracks on the album — a relentless vision of unseen warfare, where human souls are the prize in an eternal struggle between forces far greater than ourselves. Based on one of my oldest lyrics ever written, the song captures a world drenched in fear and metaphysical violence. Peace is yearned for but never found.

The verses paint a bleak picture: “It’s all over” declares one line; “Bloodstained icons weep in woe” ends another. These aren’t just poetic images — they’re cries from a world where fragile human lives are tossed into a cosmic battleground beyond comprehension. The music echoes this turmoil with razor-sharp, old-school thrash metal riffing, driving the message home with unrelenting force.

At its heart, “Soul Hunt” forms the eschatological core of the album — a dark framework where the sacred collides with the violent. The Latin chorus, “Libera me, Domine, de morte aeterna” (“Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death”), taken from the Roman Catholic Office of the Dead, becomes more than a liturgical chant. It’s a desperate plea for endurance, for grace, for something to hold onto in the face of annihilation.

SOUL HUNT

A star fell blazing, torn from the sky,
Ghostfire flickers, years burn dry.
Lunatic echoes are tearing the spheres,
Behind steel gates, the enemy appears.

He winks at me with a hollow stare –
A pupil-less gaze, a frozen glare.
"Come with me," he speaks to me, "behold!
We'll walk in the void like the gods of the old!"

Bell tolls crash on the lead-gray land,
The last fires go out, lost in the sand.
It’s all over – we fade in the tide, 
abandoned island, fortress denied.

Life’s breath is stolen, I drink from the still,
degusting the wine that the ages spill.
Spare me, O Lord, from the hunter’s chase,
Grant me, O Father, a night of grace!

Libera me Domine
de morte eterna! 
(Deliver me, O Lord, 
from eternal death)

The forest echoes from the hunting cries,
Dark shadows creep where the lost souls lie.
A soul hunt is raging deep down below,
bloodstained icons weep in woe.

Soul Hunt

Gold Lover

[Verse 1]
Hidden currents
Flow beneath choices, carrying whispers of unseen truth
Paths converge, opportunities appear, timing aligns, but only for those attuned to notice, ready to step, ready to act without forcing the moment
Energy moves through intention, thought, and emotion, layering in complex patterns; each action taken in harmony with the flow magnifies manifestation, creating outcomes that feel inevitable and alive

[Verse 2]
Empty wishing
Hopes without motion drift aimlessly through the mind
Desire alone, tangled with fear, impatience, or doubt, cannot create results; vibration misaligned, actions weak or absent, opportunity passes unnoticed
Focusing only on outcomes while ignoring inner alignment and deliberate action produces frustration, cycles of waiting, and missed chances; manifestation requires coherence, not wishful thinking

[Bridge 1]
Silent momentum
Builds beneath awareness, unseen yet persistent
Patience and clarity merge, guiding subtle decisions that ripple outward, preparing the ground for outcomes yet to materialize
Every aligned thought, every intentional step, compounds invisibly; small choices gain weight, timing unfolds naturally, and reality begins to mirror the inner state with quiet precision

[Chorus 1]
Magnetic pulse
Not by wishing, but by leaning into the signal
Inner vibration sets direction; emotion and focus guide action, momentum builds as reality mirrors your state
You are magnet and motion, observer and participant; aligned heart, steady mind, intentional step, and life bends, converging naturally around your resonance and intent

[Verse 3]
Shifting light
Illuminates the edges of your hidden choices
Every subtle decision, every quiet intention, compounds unseen, creating ripple effects in life’s fabric that eventually surface as tangible reality
Notice the pattern, follow the nudges, act with mindful energy; the outer world bends not to desire alone, but to congruence between inner vibration and physical motion

[Bridge 2]
Hushed energy
Moves like smoke, shaping things without force or effort
Patience and awareness together allow resonance to guide action; forcing or ignoring flow diminishes results
Step lightly, observe fully, act intentionally; the world answers alignment, not demand, and subtle energies catalyze events that feel destined yet free

[Chorus 2]
Magnetic pulse
Not by wishing, but by leaning into the signal
Inner vibration sets direction; emotion and focus guide action, momentum builds as reality mirrors your state
You are magnet and motion, observer and participant; aligned heart, steady mind, intentional step, and life bends, converging naturally around your resonance and intent

[Outro]
Quiet gravity
Anchors us even when everything else shifts
Every subtle movement, thought, and feeling traces the lines of unseen energy, culminating in outcomes we call luck, destiny, or synchronicity
Embrace alignment, act with clarity, trust the currents, and let resonance carry you; the song of life unfolds naturally, a reflection of inner state vibrating outward into every dimension of experience

Law Of Attraction (Magnet And Motion)

Slow dream track with electric piano arpeggios mixed with long echo/reverb guitars with main signal off to sound like a synth. Different time signatures produce a drifting sensation. Dream on.

Me In A Dream's Outrageous Act Of Randomness

Violet reverie rose

A little something about 'cumulative disruption'

Lyrics:

You know
Just because you have a freedom
You don't have to exercise it 
Every given moment of everyday you know
Well I'm rather more interested in
What happens when I run out of embarrassment

And he went on to say
Hey look, not everyone's xenocidal galactic socialistic theocracy 
Is perfect okay


Just about everyone agrees
It's tough being a lady's warder
Sex for a man
Because you know we aim to please
Is like trying to solve a rubik's cube
With an anxiety disorder
While trying not to sneeze

They've altered the terminology for festive occasions
And so for Fourth of July we're going to be setting off
Fire-Caucasians

There was an auspicious southerly breeze
On the day we unburdened ourselves from the Queen of Pinot Gris

The government was saying in a particularly rude way
That just because you have a freedom
You don't need to use it at every moment of every day
And I thought why would they feel the need to be free to say that
At this particular moment anyway

One thing seems to be incontrovertibly true
In Soviet Britain, social media posts you

They went on that governance has to be done steadily
And without stumbling upon regret
Like performing a minuet
Or making a smashing omelet
Not to dirty some egg yolks
But anyway so yeah we coerced some folks

As the thought of trying to obliterate me was tightening their rectum
The painted sybil was strumming her plectrum
The Greek chorus decried equal amounts of economic illiteracy 
On either side of the spectrum
And then his backing singers really went to town
Like crabs in a bucket clawing each other down

And then my traveling companion
Had had enough of being restrained
And complained a very millennial complaint
That now it takes four singing fish to be entertained

The high court jester 
Concluded with a pretty shrewd remark
As he was busy collecting the necessaries
The key to isolating his mark
And causing things to fester
Was to forget a man's ancestors
Hide his descendants
And separate his contemporaries

In the ultramarine dark
He was caparisoned as if strolling on a lark
Resembling a tasseled wobbegong carpet shark

She was quite a debutante for a start
And hard to hate for anyone with half a heart
An epitome of discernment
Like the connoisseur of detournement

We were bantering the specifics to and fro
And even though I was doing it a little bit slow
It had been a pleasant trip so to speak

After a long time of being on the shelf
As poignantly as having a sword run through
If something seems painfully obvious to you
But obvious to no one else 
That fact is more real than reality itself

Every Given Moment / Chnospinci
