Technical Death Metal

Orlando Cordero:

The Crow Breeder

Once a blooming marvel
Of meadows, plains and hills
She walked on misty sandals
So perfect, silk by sill

Beacon of salvaging light
Mother of generous womb
She meant nurture in life
And in death, a sheltering tomb

Then Came a race creatures
That spread without control
Misshaping all of her features
To suit their hasty stroll
Humans their name
Inhuman their deeds
With no trace of shame
They shattered her peace

They burned her arms for fire
Her heart they dug for oil
Blinded by greedy desire
They tainted her sacred soil

For aeons she suffered in silence
The damage her children had wrought
Taunted by human defiance
She couldn’t take anymore

Then Came a race creatures
That spread without control
Misshaping all of her features
To suit their hasty stroll
Humans their name
Inhuman their deeds
With no trace of shame
They shattered her peace

Burned out, in pain and heartbroken
Our mother reached her swan song
Mankind through actions has spoken
Matricide is the word on its tongue

Ill and contorted in curls
With meadows and hills now destroyed
Black and motionless she swirls
Into the damp, endless void

Then Came a race creatures
That spread without control
Misshaping all of her features
To suit their hasty stroll
Humans their name
Inhuman their deeds
With no trace of shame
They shattered her peace

Sacrifice

I miss that my absurd thoughts
Settle in your incongruous dreams,
Burn your nightmares with my fire.
And flood your world with my tears

You are not a God; neither am I your everything,
You will never be the owner of the world.
In the mire your inert pride lies
You are not a God; neither am I your everything,
You will never be the owner of the world.
As if I was king of your temple lost in the mud

They are those unworthy feelings
Sadness, hate, grief that I admit,
Subsequent to the remaining rubble:
The little you left behind they seize.

You are not a God; neither am I your everything,
You will never be the owner of the world.
In the mire your inert pride lies
You are not a God; neither am I your everything,
You will never be the owner of the world.
As if I was king of your temple lost in the mud

It was not that night of weather-beaten sky
When everything happened,
A storm of lost times it was later
When the worst thing happened

A cloudy future where to live in eternal rain
Is better than dying in past memories.
A life full of smiles is sacrificed
For those who want to please other beings.

You don’t break the paradigm of other people’s desires to satisfy
Suffering the masochism in flesh and blood
Where seeing the suffering you proclaim to want
Is not more than vile sadism. It`s our sacrifice.

You are not a God; neither am I your everything,
You will never be the owner of the world.
In the mire your inert pride lies
You are not a God; neither am I your everything,
You will never be the owner of the world.
As if I was king of your temple lost in the mud

Cosmic aegis over the ground

Where the flowers fall dead
Remains the sign of the progress
From life to death is the process
Where love has dried out.

The world is a living entity
A geological creature
Compounded and supported
By multiple force systems
The unanimated is the base
In which life is born and dies
The beings transform the earth
And feed it with their impulse

A universal conscience
Maintains the shield
Wrapping up the world
With its cosmic energy

Three great kingdoms are its dominion
Mother Nature is the queen
And all we are its vassals
The rocks, the forest, the lion
Our feelings and thoughts
Control the psychic protection
Hate destroys the balance
And damages the cosmic layer

Cosmic aegis over the ground
Watch the sky, beyond the clouds
Cosmic aegis over the ground
A powerful aura surrounding all around

The earth absorbs the rain
Storing the prize of life
The gifts to eternity
All the green and good of this world

(Solo: Felix Molina)

Ashen darkness
Volcanoes spitting life and death
Silence occupied by the wind
While the earth bellows
And proclaims its renovation
Between fire and movement
We are spectators
And supreme witness of the life

(Solo: Orlando Cordero)

Cosmic aegis over the ground
Watch the sky, beyond the clouds
Cosmic aegis over the ground
A powerful aura surrounding all around

Centric Flow (Obscura)

The primal energy infuses everything
and nature awakens
Flowers bloom, waterfalls tumble
into immense canyons
And the animals evolve
as consciousness races
back to its source

Shiva reveals his secret to Matseyendra

The secret of the ages, the secret of life
And then turns into a statue of Kayavarohan
Awaiting discovery someday by one
who seeks awakening
only in the next world
The next and the following
But the promise of awakening is here and now

Shiva reveals his secret to Matseyendra

And without the promise, there is only cold and darkness
But Shiva remains hiding just out of sight
He reveals himself last, if ever
For to discover

Shiva is to understand the mystery that has no answer

And the dance goes on even though worlds collide
The sun burns out and the universe freezes
It just awaits the next step

This is, this is
This is the centric flow
