Time, present, future past
Combined all in one now
You’re your mother
Titan at heart

Father, tried to eat you whole 
But no one remembers
No one ever cared
No one remembers

Should I break the mirror?
Should I tear it down?
Should I burn that house?
Or is it too late?

A frame, dusty and decayed
A picture and she cries
A vast house, what’s your name?
Do you remember?

The same bed 
Termites know your favorite color 
And you theirs 
Eating all your dreams, alone in red sheets

They told you
You’ll be a star in the black sky 
You’ll shine bright through the night
My darling 

But what they know not is that 
All the stars that you’re jealous of 
They’re long gone 
My love

Break the mirror, tear it down
Burn that house, don’t look back 
It’s not too late

They told you
You’ll be a star in the black sky 
You’ll shine bright through the night
My darling

In The Fire We Rise

"Shifting Sands" - A psychedelic journey through time and consciousness, where Pink Floyd meets modern indie folk-rock. This introspective piece weaves together shimmering guitars, ethereal piano melodies, and dynamic percussion to create a dreamlike atmosphere where reality and imagination intertwine. A meditation on memory, transformation, and eternal love, brought to life through layered instrumentation and haunting harmonies.

Lyrics:
In empty rooms of yesterday
The mirrors still reflect our ways
Each fragment tells of different changes
All we knew to rearrange
And in the silence of the dawn
When shadows paint what's gone
We trace the lines that led us here
Beyond the wall of fear
On the other side of forever
Where the old dreams sleep
We found each other in the ether
In waters running deep
Running deep...
The world outside is growing old
Its stories left untold
But in your eyes I recognize
The light that never dies
Like distant stars that guide us home
Through fields we've never known
While time dissolves the walls between
What's real and what we dream
And as the old world slips away
Into shades of grey
We build our castle in the sky
Where love refuses to die
Can you hear the sound?
Of circles closing round
While somewhere in the distance
Time is breaking down
Breaking down...
Breaking down...
So here we stand on shifting sand
Two souls who understand
That in this space between the lines
Where reason intertwines
With fragments of forgotten days
We'll find our own escape
Through doors that only dreamers see
When love sets madness free
On the other side of forever
Where lost souls find their way
We'll dance between the never
And the light of dying day
Till time itself surrenders
To the games that lovers play


Featuring rich layers of acoustic and electric guitars, atmospheric piano, dynamic percussion, with touches of brass and banjo weaving through the sonic landscape. Perfect for fans of classic psychedelic rock who appreciate modern indie sensibilities.

Metamorphosis (from Growing Panes EP)

Traveler of Storms is the culmination of what everything's leading up to in spirits. The final song on the album, it is a rollercoaster of raw emotion. With the beginning whirling as the winds, into the eye of the storm where calmness quickly picks back up into another gritty rock groove. Travel the storm of time, and face your fears in this new Aura Iris single!

Lyrics:

Into the center 

Of it all

Behind our sleep 

Drifting along 

Subconscious mind 

Beyond time

In hopes to find 

Antidote to the chaos inside


In time, we’ll see

No time to be 


Sight with no eyes 

See through our time


Storm comes, to rise 

Bending our minds 


Fight to survive

Psychic collide 


Against evil spirits 

That haunt time itself


Then I felt life unfolding before me 

Like flashes ebbing and flowing 

The past could no longer haunt me

For the whole time I thought 

My live’s creations were crumbling,

I was cultivating spirit

A traveler of storms riding rain forwards 

Reversing myself and going back to the start 

In a temporal breach beyond time 

Losing reality to find it again 


Open up your eyes 

Rise and find your shine 


Dream no more

That’s what reality’s for 


Don’t leave them in a space 

Where they can be replaced


Translate into time 

The things you must remind (x2) 


Don’t let go 

Don’t let go 

Of the things you have become 

Because you’re the only one 


Unless you’re done 

Unless you’re done 

With the things you can’t outrun 

Because you’re not having fun (x2)

What is zabrahana?
A union of contrasts
Ηarmony in dissonance
Neither here nor there
Listen and drift beyond
Embrace the enigma.

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, Earth, a tiny blue planet on the outskirts of the Milky Way, lies silent, its cities in ruins, its people long gone. As a time traveller and musician, I am drawn to this world, to the echoes of a civilisation that reached for the stars but fell short, consumed by an ambition they could neither control nor fully understand.
Through my music, I seek to capture the essence of this lost era, particularly the turbulent times around 2070, when humanity's fate hung in the balance. Each song is a journey through time, a sonic exploration of the apocalyptic moments when everything changed, guided by the haunting melodies and atmospheric soundscapes that paint a vivid picture of a world on the brink of collapse.
As I wander through the abandoned streets and desolate landscapes, I find inspiration in the remnants of human culture - the unfinished symphonies in empty concert halls, the silence that hangs heavy in recording studios where hit songs were once crafted. The music becomes a conduit for the stories that linger in these spaces, tales of dreams pursued and hopes shattered.
In the rhythms of nature reclaiming the cities, I hear a powerful message - that all things must pass, that even the grandest of human achievements are impermanent. This truth resonates through my compositions, serving as a reminder of our own fragility and the need for humility in the face of the universe's vast mysteries.
Each track on this album is a warning, a cautionary tale wrapped in sound and emotion. They speak of the paths we may tread if we are not vigilant, the dreams that may crumble if we are not wise. Through music, I forge a connection that transcends time and space, inviting listeners to explore the echoes of a vanished world and heed the lessons hidden within.
Join me on this sonic odyssey through the remnants of Earth's final days, a journey that will leave you questioning our place in the cosmos and the legacy we leave behind. Let the music be your guide as we navigate the ruins of a civilisation that dared to dream big but ultimately succumbed to its own hubris - a fate we must strive to avoid as we venture forth into the unknown.
