xavii A very well executed album! Full of heavy intricacies, serious lyrical content and a consistent vibe throughout the entirety of the album. If you're looking for a fresh air of heaviness look no further!!! Favorite track: Oceans Are Me.

Dann 'the djentle giant' This album is heavy like tons of bricks. Heavy, but full of subtlelty at times. For sure the musical milieu will talk about them for the times to come. They are solid like the Colossus of Rhodes! They stand like gods over the Aegian sea with their blend of prog, death metal and djent-like basslines. Long live SWTU! Favorite track: Three Of Eleven.

You can see only three of eleven dimensions, But don't be disappointed. Stratospheric spirits surround the planet - It's only waiting to be found beyond mind. You ruin yourself with every wave Collecting oceans drop by drop. The empty space that is possessed by theories Should be turned into the scientific ties. Kaleidoscope of shapes as echo of the universe Continues the progression in spiral architecture. In the initial notion you are wondering how Star gardens blossom in their solitude. The world is hunger for the logic. Everything is never enough... Elderly ones are really not wise Cause they are only smart and careful. Religion is to blame for all delusion. Isn't the Moon exists only because the mice watching it? Knowledge of nature is the drama of ideas. Anyhow only genius dominates the chaos.

Lowered into the ocean Awaiting the soul detersion. Motionless by cold Youthless by persetion of time. I'm getting older every day... Drawing horizons of mind, Trying to add colours inside these shapes and lines Still powered by continental remains I consume the evening glow. Solid and solvent essence I'm watching the gentle light from above. I see there is no heaven. There is no hell below us. Ages are shortest events In premature universe of glass. Serenity is total Beyond all human apprehension. Firmness of sphere Is emptied from all human motion. I drowse in some lirical coma Sinсe Pantalassa's transformation. Gathering light streams around me Will show me my last iteration...

We cannot place the sun in center of the Universe - For too fast now we are moving away from it. It holds another meaning in passage of shifting seasons Beyond illusions of importance as the universe balance. The unfolding ocean of components Generates perfect layers of dimensions. From nothing to reality Through timeless aeons of the frost. In the eternal journey through the space Infinite worlds have been created. Meanwhile planets impale the galaxies We have to understand what can't we see. Every creation needs an architect. Every complex theory needs an evidence. It unfolds... It lives a thousand lifetimes...

Bloop 03:54
The sound of the waves is eternal and permanent. The ocean was free right along and everywhere. It could have been poured by poison and marked by borders, However it lived and did not bear a grudge. We always destroy the matter we explore - The sense falls a sacrifice to most of sciences. We must believe in something at least To be able to find if we have grown up Civilization is bounded by shores Even if horizon looks flat from there. Outside mankind becomes a part of food chain, Herewith don't have to stay on its top. The endless waters seems to be inanimate. But it is full of monstrous lifeforms, Who in this world we would never comprehend Until we will sink down upon the bottom.

I'm so afraid to stay forever alone telling this story... Here from the sun mountain's view time stands exact. And I am here just to watch you go away As the snow falls through the static air. So alone, we set out to find another life. I can't remember the last thing I said to you... And as we mapped this universe, all that we seen was only ocean of emptiness. Are we moved forward? The expedition shown our minds true colors - No message of hope for those who choose to see it... Breathing by white noise, just before lines were lines, I sensed no second rise, to pull the sunset from your eyes. Just before time was time perfection allowed existence To stay correct until appearance of the light. Guided by steps of progress I was confused That stars can't be seen unless the sky fades. No waking up in Wonderland... And I was running just to see them But I just found the night is crushing all... So maddened in my selfish quest I lost you Left in my oceans of despair. These oceans are me...

Mother Tree 05:03
What if I'll rush myself into the ocean? There is no comfort in idea of eternal life for me. Would the water full of life accept me? For too long there were secrets within it. Somehow by a miracle I expect to contemplate some colors in the order of elements... To understand how it choose to suspend the laws of nature. What if I'll follow the Great Whale? Will it lead me to the Promised Land? Will it take me to the temple of the evening sun Where I can stand up for what I have become? ...Where I can sleep in shadow of the Mother Tree. It's all a dream... ... Somehow

Every creation is a piece of its creator. And every piece has its own story. The air is full of sea Behind the coral gate of harbor. Fallen leaves upon this place Are the map of green continents. Near sits a part of my twin moon. The voice of ages disturbs her mind. She is counting months - Six white ones, six cold ones. The winter’s edge is where she waits Her hopes are high in certain circles But she was stuck not crossing over Captured from mirror waters I cultivate within the tired man To unite again as one. Harvesting existence With every rising sun. Caught into the April surrendered to snow I see faces frozen still against the wind. Without access to the present I'll keep our vacant monuments in time. However, spirit will transcend. The sacred drink withdraws oblivion. A couple or a several mistakes Are one part of the same tree. I never went outside, as far as I recall. Old age is what squeezes out my tears. Onto the soil where seeds were spilled I favored few which stood strong in the wind. Every creation is a piece of its creator. And every piece has its own story.

I place your sun in center of my universe. A part of my twin moon, You are the ocean that unfolds.

Walking through the empty air Reveal what wasn’t there Is it as it seems? No… Just dream within a dream There was a place Where people embraced the sky It summoned them to descend Into the shining light… … to rebirth… to relapse… From hours to weeks All days were disappeared From weeks to months, from months to years Then sunrise broke the cloaks and fears Another moon and barren lands The seas of the sun and sand The misty ghosts of childhood’s fears Strong breeze and cold light of a day The Bronze Age culture meets Its second renaissance With its treasures in a different range of colors There is only one path left To take amber across the hills The sacred road repeats its shape Time… Fate… It’s all the same
