preciousken I am genuinely upset this EP has not gotten more attention. It has a unique and expansive electronic sound of world beat synthpop somewhere between the soulful depth of Dead Can Dance and shimmering beauty of Erasure. Both vocalists are talented and inspired. A crystal ballroom waltz in perfect syncopation. This album was a magical pool to dive into and transport you to a fantasy world of beauty and lost romanticism. I was staggered by how immersed in a dream every song left me. Favorite track: Endless Whisper.

Aboulia 04:38
Aboulia I’m closing in, want to implode. Hand-wrapped knees tight to the chest. Becoming mute seems like a dream. Just lay me down, never move again. Poison inside my mind I’m not letting out! My mind is a cup, overflowing, I’m shutting down gruesomely! My heavy heart sinking like a stone! How do I cope with the reality? I’ve lost so many dearly departed. I’ve lost my love! I lost them all! Lay me down, embrace my bitter end! I surrender to the state of Aboulia! I won’t help you, I’ll only pull you down! Just let me sleep, too... In the state of Aboulia...

ENDLESS WHISPER Verse 1 When the demons start closing in And your screams go unheard All you seek is rest to escape.. The endless whisper Chorus Too many lost without an answer Wounded hearts around us but we don’t listen Peace seems but a dream with one solution, Don’t lose hope, you’ve always mattered. Verse 2 Gone before your time, Lost before you’re found, Drowning in the pain, Choking out your last breath Chorus Too many lost without an answer Wounded hearts around us but we don’t listen Peace seems but a dream with one solution, Don’t lose hope, you’ve always mattered. Verse 3 Alone in the dark, A captive to your thoughts, Tortured by the sound, Of the endless whisper Chorus Too many lost without an answer Wounded hearts around us but we don’t listen Peace seems but a dream with one solution, Don’t lose hope, you’ve always mattered.

Death 05:32
DEATH I longed to see your grim face in this place, But you did not come... I wished for you all day yesterday, But you did not come... Drowning in misery, I’m drowning in misery! But you did not come... The sweet abyss calls my name, to taunt me! But you did not come... Oh death! Why must you torment me? Oh death! momento mori (Instrumental) Oh death! I hear you whisper through the trees Oh death! momento mori Give to me, precious eternity! Watch my soul escape... This empty shell, it's all I’ll leave behind, while my corpse decays... Oooo....

Forever 04:41
VERSE 1 I found you in the shadows Guided by the moonlight reflecting off your broken wings You took my hand and I held you Black hearts merged as one Illuminating the night forever CHORUS Come dance with me in the dark Let love be our light Painting the path before us Let’s rule the shadows forever Then slip away together Broken wings around us Till our last breath VERSE 2 A power forged by flame Reborn amongst the ashes Rising upon wings of destiny The clutches of the grave can’t reach us Warriors of the darkness together Ruling the night forever CHORUS Come dance with me in the dark Let love be our light Painting the path before us Let’s rule the shadows forever Then slip away together Broken wings around us Till our last breath VERSE 3 The light of day approaches Awakening the world of mortals Melting away the shroud of darkness Let us slip beneath the surface Beyond the lights reach Awaiting the shadows return To rule the night again...Forever

INTERTWINED LYRICS VERSE 1 Two grains plucked from the sands of time Their hearts became intertwined, Two souls connected to the same vine, A love that was dark and Devine He suffers inside, he suffers with grace She see’s the pain upon his face Through his love she see’s and knows One day they will suffer no more CHORUS She loves him, He loves her, but he suffers And she knows But she cannot let him go, let him go She loves him He loves her But SHE suffers And HE knows But he cannot let her go, let her go VERSE 2 For years, she asked him to stay Despite him wanting to go away Though he did even though it hurt To be alive on this miserable earth She suffers inside, she suffers with grace She bears the pain upon her face May she suffer no more Suffer no more! CHORUS She loves him, He loves her, but he suffers And she knows But she cannot let him go, let him go VERSE 3 Old age took their bodies but not their minds Two souls still intertwined He pulls her in meeting loving eyes And says “my precious, its time” She says, “I understand my dear” “Thank you for all these many years” “Now let us leave this world behind” “And be forever intertwined” CHORUS She loves him, He loves her, but he suffers And she knows But she cannot let him go, let him go May they suffer no more Suffer no more No more No more No more Suffer no more Suffer no more No more No more No more CHORUS She loves him, He loves her, but he suffers And she knows But she cannot let him go, let him go
