lyrics

("Captain's log:
Captain Vadis Day 2 of the mission. We've reached and stabilized at a safe distance from Earth to prevent re entry of the pods once ejected.... *sigh* I wanna make it very clear that I do not agree with nor condone the actions decided upon by the council; These are people !, Regardless of their mental stability.....Yet the council fears them otherwise I wouldn't be here, about to jettison these human beings into the cold void.......To their certain Doom")

Fragments of time swirling and twisting, sublime ramparts of existing scenes
Played out before my eyes then torn from my sight shrieking screams,
illuminating thoughts and dreams

As reality peels away
I no longer know this place or date
Entering a world lost to humanity
Dwelling in my own absurdity.

Listen to my insanity
Grand delusions of actuality
Let me place this fear in you
So you feel the pain I go through

Haunted every minute not knowing if I'm alive, inescapable despair and pleasure through cataclysmic fears

Haunted every minute not knowing if I'm alive, inescapable despair and pleasure through cataclysmic fears

Here I experience love and hate
Each door I open changes my fate
Emotionally distraught ending ties with your lot.
Envying your existence.
Lost in my partitions.

Fantastic visions, terrifying aural transmissions
A voice that soothes my wounds,
Surging through me, it cracks and booms
Destroying myself on every plane
As I eat my own shame

The Death of Gaia
by OFFICIUM TRISTE

supported by 4 fans who also own “The Grand Delusion”

An absolutely amazing album that reaches you to the bottom of the abyss. Gaia takes you by the hand, tells you that you're not alone in this, the pain is over, the misunderstanding of your pain is over and accompanied by keyboards, violins, acoustic guitars, cello and amazing vocals, she pulls you out of the disgusting mire of your mind and together you embark on a journey of melancholy, despondency, hope, pessimism and the seasons. tenebriscaedes

Méditation Astrale
by Âqen

supported by 4 fans who also own “The Grand Delusion”

Mind-drifting to ethereal, dark places. Obscurity! My existence, just a brief moment in space and time. My body, a cage. Memories vanished. Where will I go from here? Forever is such a long time. Brilliant album! Took me to an unforgiving but contemplative state. Âqen's musicianship is irreproachable. Umbra Cornuta
