Darkness 04:57
Everything is gone Time erases everything I called my own Everything is gone This darkness is my home Somewhere in between Somewhere in those lucid dreams I used to see I lost the memory Of wonders I’ve seen This darkness calls And cold wind blows I hear a song of sirens It sounds…So beautiful And I follow Their steps into the dark I'm far, I’m inside out There’s someone Abandoned in the dark That I need to find One day I’ll find my new home
2.
Tower 08:29
Stay with me Stay till the dawn Stay Don’t leave me all alone I'm just a boy I'm lost inside this spell Stay around Skies are so dark Stay There's no spark of light And I'm just a boy I'm lost inside this spell I've been told The right and the wrong I've had all the truths to learn But I'm just a boy I'm lost inside this spell In the dream That I have seen There's an abyss calling me A wolf is at the door He’s coming back for more All I have learned All signs I’ve followed Burn to the ground Slowly die inside Nothing remains Chaos will follow Nowhere to run Darkness all around Time stops inside this space You hear a distant roar Time stops inside this space This dying world Tell me why do I feel cold? Tell me what do I feel?

We are blinded by the light Trying to focus in the dusk Forgetting how to dream We’re praying to machine Denying what is real We are servants of the light We’re defining what is right So rational and cold We’re trying to control The abyss down below We need Control Lost in the light We just stay the same Going far astray We praise the king The only of its kind So luminous and bright So what is wrong? Is there something more? Don’t turn around Keep on track and run Forgetting what is gone Scared by the ghosts We Close and lock the doors Hide inside these walls So what is wrong? Is there something more? Beneath the water deep Beneath the truth we keep What is wrong? Is there something more? We are ready to give in And take a step and fall into the stream But the hunger is still the same We remain so hollow With a sorrow’s strain Falling away We feel hunger still remains We resemble broken We are all the same
4.
Child, you’re lost in transition Now Time to make things real Lost in this aberration Time to make things real Whatever you decide It’s gonna make you bleed But it’s a chance for you to breathe Whatever you decide It’s gonna hurt Lost in the dark Lost in transition You’re drifting in an open space Lost in the dark Liminal season You’re breaking through the last defense Child , you’re lost in transition Still longing for something real You see only a vision No memories, nothing to feel
5.
Chaos 04:25
Dreamer, dreamer Time to wake up From this hollow hazy dream Breathe in, breathe out You’re awaken In this world of voiceless screams We fade In dreams and dust Locked inside And never change All fades Fades so fast Falls apart And never will reunite Dreamer, dreamer Time is racing Can you tell me where it goes Breathe in, breathe out Face the chaos You are left here on your own
6.
Mirror 07:53
Tell me your fears Do they stay the same After all these years? Show me your soul Left out in the cold Buried in the snow Look in the mirror Open your eyes Tell me what you see Show me your guilt Poison in your veins Strongest of the chains Anger and pain Grown from every scar Sealed inside a jar We're so gone Inside ourselves And we don't try to ask for help So gone Within these walls So we just wait for a night to fall ...And...Fill...The distance... Calm...Lead...Us...Into the dark Into the dark we all will go Beyond all colours of the dawn And left behind the things we hold Dissolve and flow In the spiral We dissolve From this blackness We evolve into light
7.
Dust 10:02
Dust in this room Cold electric lights Another sleepless night is passing by Left all alone With noise in my mind How could I come this far In this useless fight? Running in circles We all start to pray Over and over again You make the choice To witness or to run And that’s the only truth that I have found Left all alone With ghosts in our minds We’re searching for a sign in the land of sands Running in circles We all start to pray Lord We start to pray Over and over again Running in circles Climbing up the walls Longing for the road you’ll never walk Run till there’s nothing left behind Run away Leave no traces in the dark Run till you reach a starting point All these years Walking the same road without a map Caught inside this lucid dream So lost and cold But something grows inside To wash away this pain Stand by the river Looking at the flow Waiting for someone to decide what for I’m here Feeling my heartbeat, every breath within The river is calling And now I’m stepping in Follow the water Flowing, covering my skin Follow the water Dissolving all my fears

about

‘Mercurial’ is a journey. A journey through the dark and chaotic space where everything is unstable like mercury by itself.

It all began with dreams. I’ve seen the dark lake, it was almost like an eclipsed sun surrounded by huge ice peaks. It was calling and gravitating me and no one knew what was inside.

It all began with dreams. What are dreams after all?.. Rationalisation keeps us in a safe place. But we all are challenged by something from within. Have you noticed that all your foundations are completely mired in madness?

It all began with dreams. Stuck in transition we are absolutely lost, is everything real or not?.. Man strives toward reason only so that he can make rules for himself. Life itself has no rules.

It all continues with dreams. It’s decomposition. It’s confrontation. It’s a dark journey through empty fields.  Everything has to be dissolved and reduced into that form from which it arose.
And then the new chapter starts.
