lyrics

Life Cycle (Schang)

Drifting down silently
To black out the sunlight
Every day they assured us, their only aim:
Show us how to live
in harmony, peacefully
Everything began anew

Ghostly memories fade
Of past lives no longer
Relevant to the new world they opened wide
What drives them to give so openly
So endlessly?
When will be the time to know?

It's a question for all
Have they answered our call?
Or are we just nothing but a means to an end?
No more spending our days
Watching time slip away
The only thing that we may lose is our humanity

We have all we could dream
And still we grow restless
Waiting to feel the passion that used to burn
There must be a force
that's waiting to collide with us
Children know but they can't say

It's a question for all
Have they answered our call?
Or are we just nothing but a means to an end?
No more spending our days
Watching time slip away
The only thing that we may lose is our reality

The sun, the sky, the earth
All melt away

Now it's time for you to see
There's a new reality
That's bigger than the both of us combined

We came here to guide you through
The separation of the glue
That held you firmly within space and time

Earth no longer can provide
A home for what you have inside
Unleash what lies beneath your flesh and bone

Transformation for all
Now you answered our call
Your arrival signified our childhood's end
We begin a new phase
Leave behind our old ways
We are one with the beating heart of our humanity

Rise of the Waterfowl

supported by 5 fans who also own “Life Cycle (Hi-Res 48kHz/24-bit)”

I have listened to this album many times and each time I notice something different I love. Awesome musicianship with excellent songwriting at it's best. shlink88

Dwellers of the Deep
by Wobbler

supported by 5 fans who also own “Life Cycle (Hi-Res 48kHz/24-bit)”

This might be the least folky of the Wobbler releases and I wasn't sure about it at all. After a few listens however I'm loving the inventiveness and the endless melodies, all driven along by Kristian Hultgren's wonderful percussive bass. PartTimeZombie

Phototroph

The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 12, 2022

This is a fantastic live statement from Magenta. The Setlist is awesome. It’s hard to pick a fav. Christina‘s vocals are outstanding. The musicianship is top notch. Go get yourself a treat of Magenta live 🙂 Boris Stalf

Farmhouse Odyssey

Basically a great album with top-notch songwriting... unfortunately bloated with annoying improvisations and other distracting noise, which wreck the wonderful musical arcs in an instant. As people sometimes say, "less would have been more"... Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
