A Picture of the Sun Dying

by A Paradise.

Alice M. Basically solo acoustic-ish Tengil, shaped into desperate monologues that ooze their way through the listener. Won’t satiate my thirst for a new Tengil album, but “faute de grives, on mange des merles”.
(Gosh, I wish I knew what happened to this band or at least what their current status is.) Favorite track: Personal Fable.

The End of Time 04:36
lyrics

The End of Time It's called ”3:19 i Eden” The testament To the charred remains To the beauty we've made It's such a shame The way we can't read certain mistakes Just from the tracks in the road And how the ones who still have their presents burning Teach themselves to smile Like there's no tomorrow But If I was that same blissful furnace Then I wrote you a song It's called The End of Time Down in the ocean lies The sum of a billion tries It's not enough You try not to, but your discolored untended starry eyes do You don't want to tell me, because you know, animal Exactly how it feels It's such a shame That will to redeem, and we still miss direct Was there a better foundation? Hand in hand, as the wildfires burn away I wrote you a song It's called The End of Time Down in the ocean lies The sum of a billion tries And when I wrote it for you I knew it was of love It's in our burning skies "down here we deny" Not he, he suffers greatly He's good he's good It's obvious it's someone else, can't you see? I wrote you a song It's called The End of Time Down in the ocean lies The sum of a billion tries And when I wrote it for you I knew it was of love It's in our burning skies The sum of those hundred billion tries

Antichrist 04:39
lyrics

Come with me through the withered heaven We're no longer lost between You will have a snow white sunset Beyond the shores of anthropocene A glistening car ride And every apple tasted of ash Couldn't afford to both eat and travel Call it cloak and dagger The way it hates you, never cares And when it rains all of January And you're pulled between void and worry In my dreams I die in full armor At the end of a just crusade Come with me through the withered heaven We're no longer lost between You will have a snow white sunset Beyond the shores of anthropocene There the need to pass judgment breathes A wish to make pictures found in aether real When you depleted all the amins There's still a God at the bottom, waiting Then they try to count to it And find an answer always lost to linguistics Father tell your children that's just politics So we can keep on burning witches and the unrelenting But what if there's a punishment? For saying who and what is godsent? Antichrist is just the enemy Are you still here? Two steps from art to real Then it rains all of January And I'm pulled between void and worry In my dreams we die in full armor At the end of some just crusade Come with me through the withered heaven We're no longer lost between You will have a snow white sunset Beyond the walls of anthropocene When they rain down just to end our story If you're with me, there's no need to worry We were made to die in armor Somewhere at the end of this modern age

(#1) A single coiling line, then you're supposed to grow tired Foretelling ailments, nations, in the design When you said ”serotonin” All I could think of was the locust, swarming And we felt so clever about it Busy bee, good girl, so interested Conscientious junkies strung along over lands For the flesh, gods Stars and nebulas

King Covid 07:50
lyrics
buy track
Behind the oblivion You thought you should paint away A greater one was hiding It's a nightmare, you gave it way The debts and dues paid To be part of it all The phantoms coming back saying ”Can you love anything at all?” It's okay if it's all for show But you can't just keep faking smiles when the blood is this low In the light and the waves, restless ending colors Was the ghost, of everything held on to be real Still alive in the hope to be cured from happy birthdays Die a midnight poem, lover It's not you they'll heal And in Reality One thing the nineteenth crown did show me Is that your self image is not enough To keep illnesses out Brought before the severer Blamed for every error Every shortcoming But told that you could stay Just rearrange, every pathway found from birth Did you get high? Family said I was lovely In the light and the waves, restless ending colors Was the ghost, of everything held on to be real Still alone in the hope to be cured from happy birthdays Die a midnight poem, lover It's not you they'll heal There is a will to live In knowing you're wanted still There's an aphotic engine Drawing wretched bodies, damaged dreams Notes keep ringing in my head From books forcibly read The pious utilitarians must think it’s for the best we hide They're called "Such shame they had to die" Over and over Hang your heads Go about your days In the light and the waves, restless ending colors Was the ghost, of everything held on to be real Still unknown in the hope to be cured from happy birthdays Die a midnight poem, lover It's not you they'll heal It's not you they'll heal

Climate Sorrow 04:48
lyrics
buy track
All afraid, floods wash me away Pull us back to lines again, here's my Covid artifact Let me stay on top Let the floor stay intact Through lightning summer One story wrote itself As I keep something up that will kill me A child could see The decadence Yet decent minds don't outdo themselves Did you read the writing on the wall? Bear your dreams Before the reaper Make it worth tomorrow Worth the climate sorrow Crack the skies, tether the sun Undoing normality overwhelms Damned to succeed, the works of love before the dread Count the days Darker than A patsy told the mirror He's a rational man Then the floorboards cracked Floods carried him away Did you read the writing on the wall? Bear your dreams Before the reaper Make it worth tomorrow Worth the climate sorrow In heaven there's no violence, no tabs to keep, no whipping corpses, no adderall Deus vult, the ironic heart attacks, in rampant gardens, from keeping up with it all And all coke is red, it's just a joke I told the whirlpools I drew them on walls from my bed, they showed me great machines Together we pray For ignorant congregations To just start adhering to the scientific fact Grand Science Amoral Who made oil drills, nukes and cars It will cut you open, but cannot find your heart Said that humility is what will save you Still on earth Choose your scars I did not choose the dark The tears an invitation For what forever stays So tell me you're afraid Just once Before floods wash us away Bear your dreams Before the reaper Make it worth tomorrow Worth the climate sorrow Did you read the writing on the wall? ”We will never change the way we are”

(#2) He said He feels less bad if he views himself machine Determined by design and chemicals in the bloodstream At least it spells less guilt, right? Keymaster, Buddah, it's not in you to change the night

Latter Days 03:05
lyrics
buy track
Conjuring childhoods Now almost like traditions to unravel Travels via television Even then, panlingual efforts to warn The dangers of the smaller parts Fruitful gifts for mother when we depart Our biggest show To live you must travel, Robert sang scripture as he came home Recent incongruity Replicating inside the traveling I traveled in through the window To hydrogenic tempest in a cave Was the dark mouth there? To all dreamers suspended, asking ”After a wing clipped Ra what will be left here?” Today there's blood on my hands nonetheless As I thought my punishment would give way to heroics If I help document the latter days For the good of some future race Do you think that it would ease the pain of knowing what is done? If in the wastes I left an account of it Balance for the avarice Is there justice left as we forget The deluge of suns Into a good earth

A Picture of the Sun Dying 02:27
lyrics

Bleed your hearts Waiting for a perfect bidder Tearing stars apart It's like you're waiting for the end Such a sleepless part Weighing all the bits and pieces Just take her home then But if I'm waiting for the end? Markers gone With louder whispers of what's over Can't be long now Would never end the way I am If we're to share Taboo wishes things were grander In plain light shown Why have faith that you would come?

Personal Fable 06:49
lyrics

Not one thing I do keeps any value if I forget And still I forget all the time Convinced I will I step the neck off my guitar No place in life for things we especially like, it ruins the balance Hope is in abundance And then I'm damned Wait for the choir to self destruct Singing in another summer fantasy If we matter in the divine Do you fear the unrelenting chain of time? Can you hear it? Even with the middle black I'd live with the golden still the same If you end the earth tell me Was it like any other day? Scraping by, vibrance gone Scraped on down, to the bone In different light On sides of the same coin Gears turn it's always spring again I watch myself on screen, it not me playing Little and big apocalyspi In shackles pull my body to communaly lie We got close All around it's was snowing Saved me a scream sometimes Brighter than a thousand songs put on at night Spirits and neurons, planetarily aligned I could never record it Be productive with my feelings What wanton destruction of a moment But I still want you to hear it The unrelenting chain Give my body to the waves Can you hear it? Even with the middle black I'd live with the golden still the same If you end the earth tell me Was it like any other day? Lover, coward, closer But I know that you won't hear I see that fiend all the time It's our warden It covets everything Knows all our names I think I got married in the waves Sunset, Elysium Behind the stars A golden flame
