1.	Into Smoke 05:38	lyrics
There are old thruths hidden in the woods, A forgotten circle midst the trees Ancient bones and dust arranged in a fashion Stories of timeless deeds The dream begins with a crazed run for life Forgotten road with cast down cryptic signs Smoke is rising in the horizon through the trees When the heart is ready to give in Try to release It's just a dream A haze pain as you try to concentrate To see beyond the veil your mind began to create Family and friends lain dead, and on the lovers open chest Burst out is all the shame you've accustomed to bear Try to release But it's just a dream And as the dawn breaks, vision from the clearing fades One desires to return, even if just to dream Too many memories will be slain through the day Worlds forgotten, lain wasted in to burning light All forgotten In cruel light Ignited burning in to smoke
2.	The Continuing War Against Entropy 06:55	lyrics
The war has been already lost, the moment the battle starts As soon as light is cast upon the eyes Scattered are every useless experiences to go through All the wasted heat escapes and transfers to the void But time has yet to run out, not for an eternity And all bodies will begin to fail, before the final act has played I arrange everything in to neat piles in faded corners Laying down amidst them I wait for the dream to take the time I fill my thoughts with words and works of new unrelenting harmonies From tiny parts I combine into monumental constructions Inside my mind I invoke a great oneness to the world Order and unity in to the world created from chaos Alas the work is doomed to fail, and the fruits wither in trees Every day once lived, once again was a waste And day by day, all energy transmutates Cell by cell exhausted flesh with it's last sigh curses enthropy The continuing War against Entropy
3.	Haze of Pain 05:55	lyrics
The years have gone, in useless toil I'm waiting for some new lost cause Yet time goes on, and blood grows thin Bitter taste of defeat never leaves the mouth There are no enemies, no great adversity There's nothing to focus the fight against Always behind the doors, windows blinded shut Scared to move, listening for a sound And the burden weighs on my back Turn away from the blinding light Even the dream has escaped somehow The world has been erased Released from all, responsibilites Ones who might have caused Pain or suffering In this mind fear is the master Yet it's limits fails to recognize The time to depart, if it is to come There will be no farewells I will just disappear There's is no guilt to share, shame to undergo If the day will come and I go on...

5.	Days of Light 10:14	lyrics
Sometimes it hits the sweet spot, long days of mind alteration To float in the amber light, watching the smoke rising in to the sunset Sometimes the dream takes a tangible form to grasp with the fingers Then it fades away at though, with you remembering there is a price to pay There is always price to pay And it grows... The days of light, are there to guide the pain where it is yet to have been The sudden glimpse, of better days To accentuate the suffering even more clear And all the time, the dream goes on Weighing on the will, to break it's own back Someday you'll find, you'll feel alright Just to stay there, never to rise again Some day, but not today No matter how, hard I try The dream will take it's toll - It always will No matter where, I try to hide It's faint embrace, will trace my step And if I am, to stand my ground Like smoke in to the night it fades away And so we play, together this way Until the wind cuts us down
6.	The Wind 08:53	lyrics
I can feel it on my trail The approaching hurricane I've been driving for days But this time I can't shake it off Slow and steady, I can feel it's hand on my head, coming to take me away In the end, the wind will cut you down The wind will cut us down No time for dreams Not anymore No hope to dream I am being crushed And now I am fully awake again And I can see the end Somehow as if time had stretched I was here all along A wretched fool Deceiving coward Heartless and cruel An utmost failure A disappointing useless sack of filth Wasted material destined to fail In face of mundane and trivial things I'm running out of time and breath As I am measured and judged for my sins Now that the dream has died Everyone can see me as I am A wretched fool Deceiving coward Heartless and cruel An utmost failure In the end, the Wind will cut you down Cut us down all way

about

Days of Light is my third full-length release, first one with this moniker. The songs move between from Doom, Death and Stoner genres with heavy low-tuned fuzz and dark psychedelic overtones. The sound is somewhere between modern and vintage production. Lyrics touch on failings to deal with depression and surrendering to misery.

I handle all the instrument and vocal duties, except for drums which are programmed.
