What goes through
The eyes
Touch
The mind
Whats with this this
Dualistic sickness
Can we Transend
Beyond the Opposites
Sound the alarm
They're thinking for themselves
Cause if they saw
Themselves in it all
Then they might know
Harmony
Cause its
Too easy
To hate
What we
Can't
Relate
Whats with this this
Dualistic sickness
Can we Transcend
Beyond the Opposites
But the contrast is real
And its how we feel
To make sense of the world that surrounds
But with no source to trust
We get tricked and
Submit
Our lives
To a fabricated future
That has no chance
To live
What goes through
The eyes
Touch
The mind

To want it all
To want it all
To want it all
Access at our fingertips
But its all in what we do with it
We've never been so connected
Yet loneliness
Is this cultures
Unseen disease
Perhaps
A side effect
From too many screens
Blurting illuminations
Distracting from our present state
While attention spans and
Self worth
Wane
For better or worse
We're stuck in this verse
Of living in the age
Of Information
INFORMATION
POWER, GREED, KNOWLEDGE
CHOICE, CHOICE, CHOICE
LOVE, LUST, COMPASSION
CHOICE, CHOICE, CHOICE
BUT ITS ALL IN WHAT YOU
DO WITH IT
ITS ALL IN HOW YOU DEAL
WITH IT
TIME TELLS ALL
CHOICE, CHOICE, CHOICE

Century of the Self

Century of the self
Look out for no one else
There's money to be made
Selling individuality
They want us to divide
Pushed back behind another line
The poor and weak must rise
If we are to survive
HOW MUCH MORE OF THIS
HOW MUCH MORE OF THIS
The mind
Is like a seed
Bigger yield
The more love we give
But what if our world has been built
On false voices and dreams
So we'd be reduced
To wondering
Happiness
Consuming
Machines
Always in search for
That next PERFECT THING
So we work
To buy
To consume
Then die
Isolation is the key
For this system
To succeed
Keeps us thinking
Just about
ME, ME, ME, ME,
ME, ME, ME, ME
Lets stop
Going it alone
Cause you are not number
Yet
We can out number
The ones that issue
The numbers
Then we'll become
Bigger than our
Problems
AS WITNESSING ADULTS
WE HAVE THE POWER TO
BREAK THE MOLD
NOT A NUMBER
NO
I THINK WE'RE MORE THAN
2 WORKING HANDS
I THINK WE'RE TIRED OF
BEING BOUGHT AND SOLD
AS WITNESSING ADULTS
WE HAVE THE POWER TO
BREAK THE MOLD
NOT A NUMBER
NO
I THINK WE'RE TIRED OF
BEING BOUGHT AND SOLD
I KNOW WE'RE TIRED OF
BEING BOUGHT AND SOLD
SO
BREAK!

Geist & the Sacred Ensemble Washington
Geist & the Sacred Ensemble forge a doom-inflected folk ritualism; dirges tinged with psychedelia and meandering meditative trances.
Geist & the Sacred Ensemble recommends:
Peaks and valleys of cacophonous noise and euphoric melody

SLEEPING VILLAGE Caravan Of Doom (Vol. 1)
by Sleeping Village Records
supported by 45 fans who also own “Waning Hymns”
A really interesting compilation of bands!
go to album
Shade Beyond
by Hand of Kalliach
supported by 44 fans who also own “Waning Hymns”
A taster of what was to come on Samhainn. While the artists were clearly still finding their favoured style at this point, this shows that they already knew how to make darn good music. This is useful (and enjoyable) 'trying things out to see what works best'.

Hasta La Victoria
by The Myrrors
featured on Bandcamp Radio Apr 25, 2017
go to album
The Brooklyn band deliver a blissful psychedelic rock album steeped in sci-fi and spirituality, awash with organs, strings, and reverb.
