oberoniaomnia Love the creative CD envelope with wax seal, which adds to the overall presentation. Jason creates atmospheric synth dark wave soundscapes, including clearly synthetic sounds, but also parts reminding of "real" instruments ('cello, in Rise & Fall). Reminiscent of Fad Gadget. Favorite track: Phantom.

Rise & Fall 04:29
I slowly awaken The light cracks through my eyes I slowly rise To a wonderful prize Feel the warmth The burn of light is cool as clay Slowly awaken To a beautiful day Rise Rise Rise and fall To slowly awaken The light bleeds through my eyes Slowly I rise Just to realize that I’ve died Rise and fall Rise and fall Rise and fall

An action speaks louder than words Take your time; you know you’ll never be heard By the eyeless millions who only can see This fading light that won’t set us free Now make your move then you’ll see You know you’ll never be heard (Violence has a voice) You know you’ll never be heard (You have no choice) How can you ever be heard? (Violence has a voice) How can you ever be heard? (There is no choice) You know you’ll never be heard (Violence is a voice)

We never talk We never touch When all the feeling are too much Where were you today? Close your eyes and you go away Close your eyes and you go away Close your eyes and it goes away We’ll never talk We’ll never see all the love that could be Death all around us We collapse to the floor Just close your eyes when you can’t take any more And it all goes away Then it all goes away And it all goes away

New Day 04:59
It’s a new day But the same ways There’s no fantasy Just work that never ends Takes a toll on a spirit that never mends It’s a new day But the same ways And the rain falls hard; it keeps time like the beat of a drum Then at the end of the day the work is never done Just a life in the shadow of a setting sun Then it’s a new day A new day A new day A new day

Phantom 04:52
I can't find my way home This phantom leaves me all alone With tunnel thoughts and glimpses of the future As ash and snow begin to fall Outside we sing The temple starts to ring The warm embrace of fire and ice Dust to dust we fall I can't find my way home The phantom's gone and left me all alone With the darkest thoughts And now there is no future Just a silent wind that hums its lonely song And outside we sing As the steeple starts to ring The cold embrace of fire and ice Dust to dust Dust to dust we fall

Twisting in time Shifting through space Walking in Silence Leaving no trace To live in remembrance A small flash in time Only left with the essence But at least you were mine Twisting in time Shifting through space Crying in silence Leaving no trace To never exist Is never to be Never to live in God's memory To never exist Is never to be Never to breathe in God's memory God's memory
