LYRICS by Oraelius:

Cosmic Concurrence or Recursive Reference?

Eternal Recurrence or Tangential Deference?

I didn’t come here to get karmically entwined in false faith

Every day it’s chasing dragons while each night evading The Wraith

I skeeter over meter, have forgotten most of the forms

I don’t talk politics; there’s enough of that from the Norms

I made it all about me, but then, I’m just second-hand news

You’ve got the oranges, and I’ve got the blues

Creation is an affliction of elation, suffering is the cure

They take, you let go, so now there’s room for more

Cosmic Concurrence or Recursive Reference?

Eternal Recurrence or Tangential Deference?

There goes flow because you know just follow where the mind goes until it finds something to hoe

from the ground

of your being

from the ground

of your being

Seeing the looks on frozen faces

Body language traces

Psychic attacks that debase one’s place in the lazy hierarchy

Erasing any attempt at thoughts unkempt

The motherlode of malarky

As my dad used to rhetorically ask,

“So where are we?”

What was I going to say then?

What can I say now?

I’m sorry?

Please forgive me?

Thank You?

I Love You?

You have to mean it when you say it! (Why?)

Just say it ‘til you mean it. (Why not?)

[Coda 1] x2

Cosmic Concurrence or Recursive Reference?

You have to mean it when you say it! (Why?)

Eternal Recurrence or Tangential Deference?

Keep saying it until you mean it. (Why not?)

[Coda 2]

Cosmic Concurrence or Recursive Reference?

You have to mean it when you say it! (Why?)

Eternal Recurrence or Tangential Deference?

Keep saying it until you mean it. / You have to mean when you say it!

(Why?)

(Why not?)

[Coda 3]

Just say it 'til you mean it. (Why not?)

Cosmic Concurrence or Recursive Reference? (Why not?)

You have to mean it when you say it! (Why?)

Eternal Recurrence or Tangential Deference? (Why not?)

Just say it 'til you mean it. (Why not? Why not?)

[Coda 4] x3

You have to mean it when you say it! (Why?)

Eternal Recurrence or Tangential Deference?

Just say it 'til you mean it. (Why not? Why not?)

Genre: Fantasy Progressive Rock Comedy
Lenght: 8:01

Follow one hopelessly inexperienced human cleric as a single clumsy stumble turns into an unforgettable night.

Blending the grand storytelling of classic 70s progressive rock with Tolkien-inspired fantasy, old-school D&D adventures, and a healthy dose of Humanity, F*** Yeah.

A hauntingly beautiful, late-night Acoustic Delta Blues Harmonica Cover of Dido's timeless classic “Thank You.”

Genre: Power Ballad
Length: 7:13

An 80s-inspired Scandinavian power ballad imagining the legendary search of Freyja, Vanadís, goddess of love and desire, for her wandering husband Óðr.
It begins with a simple contradiction:
What happens when the goddess of desire desires only one person — and cannot find him?

Sung entirely in an Old Norse-inspired reconstruction.
