findabhair's lament 03:41
lyrics

Half my soul wanders up the mountain The diamond shape of his back recedes into the mist He was not mine, but I tasted him none the less I took him from her to a world of red and gold light Vicious creatures with many eyes and many lives They’ve taken him from me to a world of ice and snow I asked O Moyle to devour me She said what are you talking about, child, you are only thirty years and one She would not give me sanctuary beneath the waves She said, trespass here all you want, I will toss you back upon the shore Vicious creatures with many eyes and many lives They’ve taken him from me to a world of ice and snow I lured him to a place of witchcraft High upon the hill, forbidden penetration rites This is hallowed ground, we should not be here If we are found here, all will be no more Vicious creatures with many eyes and many lives They’ve taken him from me to a world of ice and snow Reckless creatures with two eyes and one life I have taken him from me - I should not have taken him at all

the vampire 02:38

I sipped one too many drops of a deep red cordial I liked the taste of iron a little too much I can’t remember the mortal woman I used to be I can’t see her in the mirror any more Blood red eyes, and membrane wings, and reckless hands, and ice cold skin Razor teeth, and noiseless flight, and rapier talons, and infrared sight I am queen of the night I like to sleep in the vaults below the ground Far from the harsh noise of the city streets I can’t remember the mortal creature I used to be I think I had green-painted nails and grey eyes Blood red eyes, and membrane wings, and reckless hands, and ice cold skin Razor teeth, and noiseless flight, and rapier talons, and infrared sight I am queen of the night

They said one too many vicious words to me They raised one too many drops of mercury I have died I have died My reckless rage She walks around in my white skin, my dark eyes She has six great wings and blood red eyes Six great wings and blood red eyes They took one too many carefree days from me They took one too many pure black nights from me I have died I have died My reckless rage She walks around in my white skin, my dark eyes She has six great wings and blood red eyes Six great wings and blood red eyes

loss/autumn 03:15
lyrics

We once walked through a dark forest of evergreens We once stood and listened to blue Sialia’s poetry And now all is no more Oh Father Hades, my bleached bones are all yours The cold winds will carry this away The autumn rain will carry this away He put his tongue to a place where engine feeds on gasoline He said, oh, I like this point where treble runs to bass with time And now all is no more Oh Father Hades, my bleached bones are all yours The cold winds will carry this away The autumn rain will carry this away I asked him in heady whirls of exaltation: penetrate me He replied, oh my darling, I am red wine, consume me Oh foolish ones, go to the pine forests no more You are too weak to handle the green moss, the wet clay, the iron ore The cold winds will carry this away The autumn rain will carry this away

Seams Cordite scent dreams Bullets kiss viscera and bone My foolish heart did this Hurt Ionized bursts Nuclear shadows bear witness My reckless hands did this I can´t say no I can´t say no I can´t say no to the burst where sodium metal meets water I can´t say no I can´t say no I can´t say no to the fire when acid and diesel birth napalm Night Fractured red sky Bombardier dropping her missiles My selfish heart did this Death Above my head Raven with black wings stretched, hungering My cruel war crimes did this I can´t say no I can´t say no I can´t say no to the burst where sodium metal meets water I can´t say no I can´t say no I can´t say no to the fire when acid and diesel birth napalm

Right now the light is harsh and cold Blue-white rays pierce sharply But now the warm yellow sun arrives now over the horizon I won’t see you again I won’t see you again

released April 8, 2022

I understand that the song 'Can't Say No' has not aged well since I wrote it last year, and that the warlike imagery may come off as tasteless given Russia's disgusting butchery in Ukraine. I decided to play it anyway because the song is not about glorifying violence but about regretting one's rash actions when angry and wishing that they could be taken back.

Also thanks to my mom for photography!
