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.

Nothing but Dust

In the darkness of the night, I found light,
Illuminated shining so bright.
Something unknown, unseen by thee,
A mystery you'll never be, never see.

Halena Morbida is the product of a middle age crisis. It is not about a particular genre, it's about the joy of creating music.

I use Ableton Live 11, Ibanez GIO electric guitar, Harley Benton electric bass guitar, HB acoustic guitar and acoustic bass guitar, Boss ME-80 processor, bongos, tambourine, cajon, and a bunch of different kinds of flutes.
 I am not a musician, I just fool around, while learning how to play my instruments. 
The artwork for the tracks is AI generated and the titles are chosen mostly using the method of free association.
Thank you for listening to my crap! 
Have a nice life while you still have it!

Retired the beginning of 2023. Been writing music seriously for about six years. Thanks for listening - and sharing!

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  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.

Some people may notice a stark difference between some of my music from a few months ago versus what I'm creating now. It represents a journey from anger and confusion to a desire to heal.
