Suntem un vis într-o culoare Ca parfum din floare Sub lumina cutezătoare Suntem dragostea ucigătoare Suntem un tablou nereușit Abandonat și prăfuit Schițând amănunțit Un imposibil nedefinit Ca o seacă privire Pierzându-se-n neștire Suntem ireparabili

On snow-covered, naked trees … … The ravens funerary crawl Winter's dreadful paces increase … … The frost will twist in us all The winds dissipate their cries … … That resemble to a woe In their red and hungry eyes … … Engaged with Death I am now In desillusions, conceptually … … Underneath that snowy carpet Abattoir's blood enticing … … Lost forever is any outlet Well, when I'd be defeated … … The ravens will solemnly bow Maybe I always knew it … … And … likely it will snow

Worlds, many worlds... but this loneliness Like ancient trees on the margin of life. Their leaves turned into heads of men Heads of men were like bodies of trees 'till Death will suck the honey From our wasted breaths... ... the end deformed by desire, will I Crawl into nature's embrace To restate the portrait of life I need to keep (up) my pace... I see satellites bursting out of the solitude They are like a swarm of flies, carring on... "The meditations of cosmos" The symphony and myth of Death and Dying Let loose obsession within me, artistic theory... "visionary" Above the world's delirium, a candle will light Throughout the night, the spirit catched on course Towards saturation "unknown destination" Înger diform, nemuritor şi rece Angel deformed, immutable and cold

La steaua care-a rasarit E-o cale-atât de lunga, Ca mii de ani i-au trebuit Luminii sa ne-ajunga. Poate de mult s-a stins în drum În departari albastre, Iar raza ei abia acum Luci vederii noastre. Icoana stelei ce-a murit Încet pe cer se suie: Era pe când nu s-a zarit, Azi o vedem si nu e. Tot astfel cand al nostru dor Pieri in noapte-adanca, Lumina stinsului amor In noaptea vesnicei uitari, In care toate curg A vietii noastre dezmierdari Si raze din amurg, De unde nu mai strabatu Nimic din ce-au apus As vrea o data in viata, tu, sa te inalti in sus. Si daca ochii ce-am iubit N-or fi de raze plini, Tu ma priveste linistit Cu stinsele lumini. Si daca glasul adorat N-o spune un cuvant, Tot inteleg ca m`ai chemat Dincolo de mormant.. 2X E fiinta-mi tremurânda Care trece-n infinit, Ca un fulger fara tinta, Ca un cap fara zenit. Si din chinuri ce ma-neaca, Eu sorb mirul cel curat, Cum o lebada se pleaca Bând din lacul înghetat. Si cu moartea cea adânca Am schimbat al vietei gând, Am fost vultur pe o stânca, Sunt o cruce pe-un mormânt. Care-i scopul vietii mele, Întreb sufletu-mpietrit? Ochiu-i stins, buzele mele De dureri a-nvinetit. In noaptea vesnicei uitari, In care toate curg A vietii noastre dezmierdari Si raze din amurg, De unde nu mai strabatu Nimic din ce-au apus As vrea o data in viata, tu, sa te inalti in... Si daca ochii ce-am iubit N`or fi de raze plini, Tu ma priveste linistit Cu stinsele lum... Si daca glasul adorat N-o spune un cuvant, Tot inteleg ca m-ai chemat Dïncolo de mooo....

Pana Nu Pier 03:14
Stelele-n cer, deasupra marilor, al departarilor, pana ce pier Dupa un semn, clatind catargele, tremura largele vase de lemn... Niste cetati, plutind pe marile si miscatoarele pustietati Stol de cocori apuca-ntinsele si necuprinsele drumuri de nori Pana nu mor, pleaca-te ingere la trista-mi plangere, plina de-amor Stol de cocori apuca-ntinsele si necuprinsele drumuri de nori Zboara ce pot si-a lor intrecere, vesnica trecere, asta-i tot... Floare de crang, astfel vietile si tineretile trec si se sting Orice noroc isi intinde aripile, gonit de clipele starii pe foc... Pana nu mor, pleaca-te ingere la trista-mi plangere, plina de-amor

about

This is the debut album of Agathodaimon's ex-vocalist Vlad. It features guest vocalist Byron, who also contributed to some songs on "Higher Art Of Rebellion".

We did discover a last stock of 30 new CD's recently- These should be the last untouched copies of this rare album (released in 1999).

Music wise, don't expect pure metal; this album features a wide range of styles; from ambient to rock to folk, gothic elements etc.

Note: The whole production run suffered from a mastering issue; the music actually runs ~3% too quickly, and therefore the pitch is incorrect. By buying the CD, you do get the album in MP3-format/download in the proper way as well, in perfect pitch and timing!


Info by the artist RA, written in 1999:

"RA, the project, which I carry with me for a long time, represents the sphere of living the poetry, the spell to one's abyssic soul.
Most of the texts were written by the most famous romanian romancer Mihai Eminescu, a genius comparable to thousand of worlds together, a timeless portrait of unearthly art. He was, is and will be that arrow, which carries the love and the venom of an entity embalmed together. A gathering of cold, undying stars, hand in hand with the wisdom of all…

This is one of the reasons, why I dedicate RA to this unfathomable universe of poetry. A poet gives shape to different things, he plants hope in those verses, he feeds hatred and lets love flourish in its own definitions, creating another garden of… he can see beyond, he creates and he destroys in such beautiful way…

Everyone is willing to understand what he/she is capable of, but u oughta know that RA is not another act in this scene of music, it is the poetry of one's spirit that's here wrapped in sounds and visions… Each track represents my interpretation of that unique text, it is a mountain of notes and musical expressions, which colors the poems, impersonating them… just imagine you are part of it.

Each RA album will specifically have this emblem, a cascade of emotions, a web of styles and creations; the listener must have this feeling of a cosmic ride thru different galaxies, where nothing is the way we know… except for the listener…
Love it or hate it."
