First Breath 05:10
Take your first breath, deep Let in the scent of winter Listen to the tweeting finches And the soughing evergreen Trust your bed of snow and dirt Shelter under the coat of frost Be blessed by the radiant moon Under which you were born Don't be blinded by the promises That your life will ever be more Nothingness is in front of you All you create, comes from the depths of despair Already the shade is forming Obscure faces everywhere Without knowing they walk the same line Burdened by the curse of existence Life‘s system Comes on Bright colours Embrace me

Sarx eternal, the invurneable cask Gift of omnipresence, endless being Infinite nous of origin, divine Vessel for the astral spirit Spear strikes to rend a river of life Aorta pours crimson fuel for flesh Mind’s comprehension of reality The primal meaning bestowed upon Omnipresent being of lies Finite sarx and deceptive nous Unfit to be the vessel Not all-knowing as promised in devotion Separate from this union The source of seeming immortality Let be one being, the vessel of itself Nous guiding to the end, transmitting reality Extricated from the sacred dissension Wisdom attained through mortifying lust Nothing divine to the hereditary legacy as the refinement forgets the immortal art

Unburdened, the parasite within me deprived of control A new dimension revealed Holding harmony within itself Through roots implanted a vision - Entwined in endless fractals and spirals The infinite nature of the system Anchoring me to the earth Is this infinty? Timelessness? The withering of everything A beginning and an end Encapsulating existence In these confines Set your mind The tool to guide your arms And break the bonds The roots that hold you down Fog surrounds the great hill Through the white you walk No sight of what's ahead You are lost My grave will not stand Amidst dead trees Long forgotten Left in a thick haze My ideas will not survive The erosion Of time Encased nowhere No one will live by them Nor will I be For ever in their minds Roots in the mire Shall rot as my bones No relic will remain A carrion dawn for vultures Rays cut through ivory curtains Light burning, the lens of deceit Through the mirror, sterile vision The revelation, of mind and body One The mind that I possess The will within my flesh Built to be the core Of my own reality

Perdition 08:59
The eye of light Shutting its lids An ancient mass of flesh The force that rids.... In thick black Illumination knelt To her brother, dark Only tremors can be felt A stench-ridden body Hauling itself across Once perfect purity Now infested by vermin Inhuman forms Rise from murky depths Manifestation of ancient gloom Possessing the force of death Mind degraded to a structure The longlived mass of life Body affected by the rapture Reduced to human waste No glimmer of hope to be seen To save primordiality The savage beast within me Eternally feeding on chaos Weakening legs under pressure Sinews tear, evoking stillness Unearthly heat, cracking the skin Bones revealed, a blinding reflection Bound to embrace the harsh soil Become a part of its system To feed a ravaging plague Nourish the source of my demise Ages pass Static form Impulse for motion The last exertion Endless odyssey Towards rejuvenation Destructive prodigy The eater of worlds Left blind to scour oblivion Lost in the void of time Inescapable spiral Erosion of existence -The elements stand still All life wiped away -Deafening silence ensues Immersed in eerie stillness -In the deep unknown The ground begins to shift -The cloak of darkness tears A pulsing core revealed Lacerated Covered in ash A lifeless sphere Of madness Merciless Cold and true The transcendence Into infinity The ground weeps For her next of kin A dying wish To be revived with no sin The dust spreads Long lost lives And memories fade To the abyss I died for their lives I live in their minds And I am their stone Their weight to carry

Ashes on barren soil Residue of annihilation Consciousness reduced to null A subject to deprivation A narrow pathway To forming the cornerstone Led by will of materialization Through carnal destruction Ashes fill lacerations Foundation for reformation Order rises anew And breathes once more Embers reanimated Holding the power of life The core awakens The essence of creation Waves clash on lifeless shores Endless fields of sorrow Roots roam across cracks Blood flowing in their veins Spores of corruption preserved in grit Obscured, forgotten reminder of seasons past Futile suffocation of renewal The waking hand, outlasting the gift bestowed upon it Web of amanítis spreading into vascular roots Twisted symbiosis giving birth to deformation No supply of blood, the ground turns putrid black Cracks torn agape in a violent burst This illness, rooted deep within Incurable syndrome of the species Reconstruction all for naught Inescapable path towards demise Let rivers dry Soil bleed its last Flames die Winds howl of pain
7.
A nocturnal reflection of an outcast And his shadow beneath the cracking ice I had trusted my nature, and slipped Into the emptiness Drowned within myself – familiar depths.... An ancient darkness The tomb of a forgotten void Immersing towards this nothingness Yet I fear it more than my own demise The understructure of our will A fathomless pit of no hope I have seen how our race descends Far across these frozen waters A safe harbour for sanity The shore obscured by emptiness The trail lost in time Far across these frozen waters Can't let go the sight of a better future They all crave the same The bretheren will never cross the ice And the pressure finally rips me apart Disheartened by the fate of our kind Soiled water pollutes my soul Complete dream of the future just lost Fragments, inside me
8.
The cold is here I can feel it all around Even more in this trail of red That follows me But I'll be going on And I'll be going strong My kind gave me warmth That's all they ever were to me They cease to be as of now I alone, I am the avatar of vital force itself But I'll be going on And I'll be going strong
9.
They’ve come to ruin my palace To torch my ethereal kingdom I am the king in this castle The king in solitude The red sea is closing in A melting tide A glowing horizon A blackened sky The wind carries A thousand burning embers A thousand screams of agony A smell of ruin In flames, this endless living hall Becomes a tortue chamber The asphyxiating poison replacing air I'm breathing death The deadly red tongue Licking on my throne Stinging through my coat Stopping all my senses In this pain, my pride, my vigor Become just empty words As I'm coming to and end, I realize I never was the king of anything So long it has been That time has twisted Itself around my center So far I have traveled Centuries of knowledge I have gained Trees of millenium I've seen wither I have no home, no legacy And no way to justify That my life's work was Just myself growing old. A red collage of death Burned into my eyes A vivid image of reality Until the end will torture me This end, that I've yearned for, turns vicious When recalling the past My throne of dirt, a finite monument This final breath, that I’ve waited for long Carried away by a familiar cold Let the flames consume me No witness To my frailness Buried in the ashes

about

"Being towards my own death, not only I am in agony, knowing my final and painful demise, - but also in total discord and suspense. I am in constant fight between my savage will of flesh and "high-consciousness" - the torment of all humanity.."

Paean's debut album after (2011) Livium is conceptually a mixture of 20th century existential philosophy and psychoanalysis which is written in form of fiction, where the protagonist in order to end his sufferings less painfully, must give up human metaphysical ideals about the world, gods and the self - where the notion of "eternity" exists.
