I Adjure Thee

falling back is easy

1. PRVÉ SVETLO (First Light)

[ instrumental intro ]

[Sloka 1]
Nebo mlčí, hviezdy blednú,
snehom kráča v tichu dňa.
Noc sa drží, ale v hĺbke
už sa niečo prebúdza.

[Sloka 2]
Okno žiari v rannom tichu
v teple dychu mizne chlad.
Jedna svieca vstáva z tmy —
a svet sa učí čakať zas.

[ bridge{
[ instrumental intermezzo ]
bridge]

[Refrén]
🕯️ Prvé svetlo, neboj sa žiari,
aj keď sa noc neskončila.
Nádej sa rodí ticho, jemne —
[ bridge ]
a  nádej  nikdy  nezhasína.

Nebo mlčí, hviezdy blednú,
snehom kráča v tichu dňa.
Noc sa drží, ale v hĺbke
už sa niečo prebúdza.

[ instrumental outro - piano solo

This is "2020" – a full-length album written and recorded during a year of global and personal upheaval. It is a sonic document of that time; a journey through ambient soundscapes, heavy psychedelic rock, experimental textures, and moments of quiet introspection.

This album was a lifeline and a creative outlet. It's designed to be listened to as a continuous piece, a soundtrack for late-night thoughts, or your own creative work. Thank you for listening.
