Mantra of Stars

Maxime I have been in love with A Dead Forest Index (2/3 of Unmoor Kiva) since 2012 and this first output from their new project is promising, and as singular and strong as their past works.

lyrics

forms changing eras intone
under a mantra of stars
slow moving low cross of light
breathes nocturnes falling so bright

when the bolt hits the void
echo's crack through the storm
and the struck lightning tree
grows like a full symphony
false ground, false ground marks the age
colours go, collides haul me away

dreamlike, drafts of ash intertwine merits deep heart
slow waves, blue shadows endless isles nearer drift out
