“Last Frontier” is quality and interesting mix of primitive ethnic musical instruments (harp, drums, kangling, etc.) with drone/dark ambient.
All the grief I burned. Their caption,
Moments’ lie, and promises’ rattle –
I broke, destroyed. The hoist of dust,
And fall to ground in bloody prattle.
The way to father’s home is gone,
Beloved one’s love and cry – a groan,
It does not hurt, it does not burn…
Ahead – I see the abyss’ throne.
It sounds between all the worlds,
What’s in the circle of wanderings melt.
Out of nothing – born again,
Going from nothing – the fable tales end.
And I will whisper: take this corpse
Rip his raw flesh, make lumps float
And hide away, he has no choice
Hide under night-soil – gasping throat.
Bones’ prison, the cell of their flesh –
Spill, scatter into sea of lones.
Pluck only mind, where stars will smash.
To their glacial, endless dawns.
The Last Frontier. Open the bliss.
Steps on the boundaries of dying abyss.
