lyrics

fog from a hollow earth coughing mist up like it's milk
blood on an ancient bird who's cutting clouds like scraps of silk
and their corpses fall to earth where they sink in mud like pearls

I don't know why I can't fly anymore
it seems that my flight in dreams barely gets me off the floor
so I'll eat the frame til I get through the door

crow on a lower bough is hiding planets in her beak
silk scraps ribboning around her are spelling out the thing she seeks
and it glows in boreal light but is gone when crow takes flight

I think I was meant to fly; to go purling through starry skies
to crack the spine of complacency and to draw the light from hidden spires

about

Eiyn Sof

Not married to any genres. Playing- digging little tunnels into fantasy spaces and the mythic realm- seems to be my instinctive and overarching approach.

All are home recordings, DIY with some collaborations and incredible guests sprinkled in.

Collaborative works detailed (with links) in Recommendations section.

See Blue Fog Recordings, Arachnidiscs, and Ur Audio Visual for other releases.
