The Cage Of Fireflies 04:50

The Cage Of Fireflies Looking for a reason Flying into the fire I’ve got my own season To see me as a liar In the winter prison I’ll die like your desire Dark is my nourishment I shine like a fire Into the cage of fireflies Into the cage of fireflies Into the cage of fireflies Into the cage of fireflies Use the prohibition Ready for the trial Hear my premonition Written on the dial Cast out the frustration Feel your desire Dream of liberation You shine like a fire Into the cage of fireflies Into the cage of fireflies Into the cage of fireflies Into the cage of fireflies Into the cage of fireflies Bioluminescence In the wood of cries Follow the fireflies Bioluminescence In the wood of cries Follow the fireflies Bioluminescence In the wood of cries Follow the fireflies

Black Lotus I swallowed the people lies They made me feel burning inside I fell down so many times I never told myself to stop the fight I forgot the reason why I wasn’t doing anything right I kept the dark by my side I want to shine above the light Black lotus Black lotus Once again Time will change My perception Once again Time expands My comprehension I forgot the reason why I wasn’t doing anything right I kept the dark by my side I want to shine above the light

Epitaph For A Friend 04:47
lyrics

Remembering those days We didn't see the pain Remembering his laughs under the rain Considering the joy Came out from his smile I could not hear his silent cry Remembering the nights We spent till the light Now i know i was really blind Considering the light Went out from his eyes I can’t believe he wanted to die I didn’t see him go away I didn’t see him lose the way I didn’t see him go away I didn’t see him drown in pain I didn’t see him go away I didn’t see him lose the way I didn’t see him go away I didn’t see him drown in pain I forgot to remember our path, my friend Remembering those days Now i feel all the pain Those days have fallen into the grave He was a friend of mine Just an epitaph in mind “I didn’t listen to his silent cry”

We fear the unknown star system Brilliant radiations and burning dust are blazing Quasar dimensions and sideral cold are joining Silent explosions and weeping darkness are shining Stellar perfection and fire clouds enchant me Deadly reflections of empty space are killing The hope perception that i have felt in me We fear the unknown star system Brilliant radiations and burning dust are blazing Quasar dimensions and sideral cold are joining Silent explosions and weeping darkness are shining Stellar perfection and fire clouds enchant me Deadly reflections of empty space are killing The hope perception that i have felt in me

Here For A While 06:05
lyrics

Sad, Do not be sad Close to my bed I’ve got no regrets You should not Cry, We’re here for a while Just a moment in time Many times i’ve been blind But now i feel so Proud, I cast out all the clouds I can look around And hear the calm sound Of the neverending Night I don’t want you to cry I never told you lies Look at my eyes Because i feel fine I’m not going insane I never told you lies Don’t look at the rain Don’t paint your thoughts grey Hear what i say: Everything will go away We are here for a while Just a moment in time We are a flash of light Just a lightening in time We are here for a while Just a moment in time We are a flash of light Just a lightening in time Look at my eyes Because i feel fine I’m not going insane I never told you lies

We are born in pain Waiting for decay We’ll turn into ash Faster than a flash Try to die in peace Like amplitude release We are born alone And we‘ll die alone We don’t feel ashamed To repeat in vain We are the ones to blame For this dying grey Every sound will change Every note will fade In a cyclic shade We’ll reborn in vain Attack, decay, sustain, release take form Attack, decay, sustain, release return I am born in pain Waiting for decay I’ll turn into ash Faster than a flash Try to die in peace Like amplitude release I am born alone And i’ll die alone I don’t feel ashamed To repeat the same I am the one to blame For this dying grey Every sound will change Every note will fade In a cyclic shade I’ll reborn in vain Attack, decay, sustain, release take form Attack, decay, sustain, release return Attack, decay, sustain, release take form Attack, decay, sustain, release return

Lands 06:06
lyrics
buy track
Look from the black world There's no horizon Inhale and exhale Your mouth is burning Lands turn into graves There's no turning back We are misery Forgotten memories Red skies and black clouds They fall down on the ground We are all crying We are all dying Dead birds in the streets You don't believe your eyes Desolating atmosphere The end is very real Terrorized people screaming Finally they realize Realize the end is near Finally they feel the fear Every illusion, Everything is falling down There's no explanation The end is what we deserve We know the reason We know what we've done We are the children The children that killed themselves Lands turn into graves There's no turning back We are all crying We are all dying

about

The second Full Length record of The Blank Canvas [ ] titled “Dark Mirage”, out February 18, 2022 for Drown Within, Vollmer Industries and Zero Produzioni.

An unprecedented scenario made of broken grooves, heavy and elegant riffs, sharp electronics, a direct and piercing vocal performance:
"Dark Mirage", the new album by The Blank Canvas [ ], aims to envelop the listener in a dystopian and distressing narrative.
An obscure dream, sprung from the post-apocalyptic expanses, where nature has surrended and has given way to a landscape full of contrasting and multifaceted feelings. You find yourself in the midst of this, with nothing else around except for what remains.
Memories of a lost future like blinding hallucinations.
The album recounts the progressive existential bewilderment of an individual with a lacerating and destabilizing tone: the compositions become hypnotic, deceptive and overwhelming, returning, track after track, the distorted image of a troubled life form in constant change.
Strongly influenced by the cosmic horror imagery read in a modern key and produced by the skilled hands of Riccardo "Paso" Pasini at Studio73 in Ravenna, Dark Mirage represents a decisive step forward in the evolution of the band adding new heavy material to their bold sonic architectures.
