From the album ‘Trust No Leaders’ by The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara. Released July 1, 2022. 

// Nothing but Dust 
‘Nothing but Dust’ addresses the theme of modern man’s search for his soul. The song revisits the ancient practice of desert hermitage as a means to confront and enrich one’s soul. 

The lyrics recall the sounds and semantics of the poems of the 13th c. Persian mystic, Rumi, while the music has Arabian influences. In this increasingly material world we live in, the song, to quote Jung, finds solace in the ‘desert of one's soul’ – through poetry and metal.

LYRICS

Alas
It has begun
The tempest
It has begun
The hour of my great contempt is here
The day of my reckoning has come

I must leave the warmness of this womb
My spirit summons me on a journey
You must let me go alone
For my soul is now a barren desert

My spirit carries me over vast lands
I see nothing but sand and dust
Chasms in the scorched earth
Cracked open by a relentless sun

I smell the death of hope in the air
Heavy is the air
In my solitude and silence
I find my soul a lonely desert

Alas
It has begun
The tempest
Has finally begun
Engulfed in the bosom of the storm
A vortex of nothing but dust

In the eye of the storm
He sees
He is just one of us
In the eye of the storm
He knows
He is king of dirt and dust

King of nothing
King of dust
King of nothing
King of dust
King of nothing  
King of dust
He is nothing
King of dust

If I don't return
Tell my story
If I don't return
You'll know I’m nothing but...

For miles and miles
He searches the sky
With his eyes and with his heart
He toiled from rags to riches
To build a kingdom over sand and dust

His lands
Once a plenty
Now barren fields of dirt and dust
Gazing through his filth and despair
But alas
There is nothing but dust

Alas! It has begun
The tempest has finally begun
Engulfed in the bosom of the storm
A vortex of nothing but dust

In the eye of the storm
He sees
He is just one of us
In the eye of the storm
He knows
He is king of dirt and dust

King of nothing
King of dust
King of nothing
King of dust

King of nothing
King of dust
He is nothing
King of...

�  About The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara

Hailed as “pioneers of a new form of expression” through the performance of poetry in music, The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara (TCOMAS) are a UK-based duo comprising Daphne Ang (Singapore) and Andrea Papi (Italy) who came together in London in early 2020 to record their debut album, Full Spectrum, which they released on 26 February 2021. 

The duo draws inspiration from many sources stemming from Tool through to Kraftwerk and Russian Circles, as well as absorbing the poetry of Virginia Woolf and Jim Morrison in their lyrics and ‘poetry performance’. TCOMAS's music strives to fill a gap in music by bringing literature and history together into an arena where rock and metal meets electronica.Their musical and lyrical themes are very much rooted in the duo’s interests in classical literature and theatre, as well as in the fields of philosophy, history, and psychology.

Voice and lyrics by Spacey Panda:

C'est une symphonie où le chaos règne,
Les mots résonnent, échos d'une peine,
Tel un écho des temps,
Une mélodie du mal.
Dans les méandres de mon âme en émoi,
S'écrit l'histoire d'un amour qui se noie,
Telle une alchimiste, je cherche en vain à capturer l'éphémère entre mes mains.
Dans cet océan d'émotions, de sensations,
Nos désirs sont des flammes qui dansent dans la nuit,
Consumant tout sur leur passage,
Sans bruit,
Nous entraînant dans un tourbillon enivrant,
Où la passion est reine,
Où tout est vibrant


Translation:
It's a symphony where chaos reigns,
The words resonate, echoes of a sorrow,
Like an echo of the times,
A melody of evil.
In the twists and turns of my soul in turmoil,
The story of a drowning love is written,
Like an alchemist, I seek in vain to capture the ephemeral in my hands.
In this ocean of emotions, of sensations,
Our desires are flames that dance in the night,
Consuming everything in their path,
Noiseless,
Leading us into an intoxicating whirlwind,
Where passion is king,
Where everything is vibrant

C'est Une Symphonie - Produced by Adrianbluh ft. Spacey Panda

A Little Freestyle

Narrative bleating 
femimarxist porn
aborting life
Before its born
My body my choice
The rally song
Silence the voice
Justifying wrong

Hijacked covenant 
Between god and man
Symbolic sins 
Satans stand
Rainbow clowns
March along
My life my choice
Their twisted song

Silent genocide 
Controlled and clinical 
Silent genocide 
Satanic and cynical 
Silent genocide 
Abide with me
The truth will set you free
