Your world is a fiction
The story's over
We need a miracle
I'm done watching
And start acting
I'm in control
I want no excuse
I take my body back
And change the rules
Make them mine
You're not endangered
Now stop pretending
I'm your extinction
You want me out
I stand my ground
Upon ashes
I'm not at the mercy
of your perception
In flames
We are ascending
Now we are watching the mighty falling
We need to change our own behavior
No matter where your eyes are landing
I'm living in a cage, you'll end up in a cage
Not at your mercy
The waves are coming now
We are the change
We are ascending
Now we are watching the mighty falling
We need to change our own behavior
No matter where your eyes are landing
I'm living in a cage, you'll end up in a cage
I don't need your uncalled opinion
I'm fitting in my world and I don't need you around
Get the hell out, no more suckers
I'm calling off the funeral, it's not over
Not over
Cleanse my life with fire
With fire

Waiting a storm

Oh Holy Mary your light is fading
You’re full of anger since the Lord’s with
you
Our lips are sealed and our hearts are heavy
We dug a hole and we hid the fruit
We covered it up with bowels and fear
Give us protection from the sky above
Oh, Holy Mary, you’re disappearing
Mother of Mercy, just give it all
Your light is shining up on me
Your warmth’s caressing all of me
. I’m devoted and faithful
I won’t let you inside my home
I’m devoted and faithful
I won’t let you inside my home
Its divine gates
Won’t be broken
Won’t be broken
Won’t be broken
I’ll set the dogs on you
Set the dogs on you
Set the dogs on you
Unleash the dogs on you

Circles in the same sky
07:15
|

|
When all I need is silence
When there's nothing but the sky
A tall figure in the clouds
It's so quiet, I'm alive
You were stripped down from your colors
Unexpected pale glow
We were magic both of us
Still together down below
And I'm waiting in the silence
And I'm heavy like a stone
Would you kindly take my hand
Like you did before
But it vanished like a promise
Can you hear the sound
of an echo in the silence
So lonely on haunted grounds
My legs are strong now but they're
shaking Before the divine sound of
your voice We'll chase misery from
our mouths And the past will turn to
gold

Oblivion

Oblivion, you’re part of me
Persistent, you’re blooming
So quiet, you’re eating of all me from inside
Only pieces and parts
What’s left of me now?
Feed me flowers
I’m bound with a love without a face
Memories come and fade away
Now I’m made of ashes
Lay down this weary head
Waiting for this ache to end
I can’t stop gazing far and wide
The circles spinning backwards
I’m disappearing on sight
Feed me flowers
I’m bound with a love without a face
Memories come and fade away
Now I’m made of ashes
Lay down this weary head
Waiting for this ache to end
Blood’s running from the surface to the flames
I’m leaving here,
It’s failing me but I will love you until the end
It’s far too late to cross the distance, to meet you there
Just show me one last light. Unleash the colours.
Remember me.

Overture
06:28
|

|
The colors are back, and our wings unfurled,
Suck out the poison , escape from the curse
We’re part of the picture, won’t seek a way out,
Tear down their castle and hammer the crowns
We’ve been around, apart for so long, let’s face it together, we’re already home
Our hopes are motion, the story’s untold
We’ll ask for answers, we’ll never lay low
We’re part of the picture, and you feel attacked
Remember the lives you’ve put down in the ground
Reach for the stars, tomorrow will come, no bed of roses for those we have lost
We’ve never been born to play by the rules
You speak for the sun but we follow the Moon
We’re rising the fences, we’re lighting the flame
The old days are over, we’re coming your way
No more untouchable
Resist and never let go
We have each other, we’re already home

Herons

Lights are on the run
Fading out as life is coming
Lay my body down
Hold my hand and break it as once
Take me to the clouds
Throw my bones to the ground
Take me with the floods
And wash away my sun
Fly me above the water
Your wings are mine before I'm gone forever
Herons ascending higher
Make me ride through the wind
With only silence in the end
You're shining on my way above
Tell me about the unknown
All of those places I will never go
That will be lost tomorrow
Make me ride through the wind
With only silence in the end
You're shining on my way above
Away, away
Only feathers will remain
Keep me out of the earth
And I never will return
Keep me out
Help me out
Fly me out
Ascending to the sun
They'll keep you from the falling
One look upon us all
Come fly away with me
Your songs are blessed with colors
Eternal melodies are filling the air
The last ones of sky ascenders
Sprinkle all our memories
They will last through the years
The story’s ending on a last goodbye
Away, away
Only feathers will remain
Keep me out of the earth
And I never will return
Lights are on the run
Fading out as life is coming
Lay my body down
Hold my hand and break it as once
Fade away
The last of I’ve ever known
Fade away
To the clouds

It All Began With Loneliness
by The Anchoret
supported by 5 fans who also own “The Ascending”
One of my favorite Progressive albums of the year by far. It has the appropiate mix of mistery, complexity and surprise I expect of this kind of albums. With some gospel, saxo and flute passages giving a theatrical touch. Fantastic.

BRUIT fait partie de ces groupes qui se découvrent surtout en live. Une claque de tous les instants, à chaque mesure. Du son des cordes magnifiques à la guitare qui nous enrobe, le voyage est exceptionnel et en vaut la chandelle. Merci encore 🙏
