Alora Crucible - "Through the mist, a peak of icy water. Where can I find you, pelagian bird?"

Описание: The first track from the new Alora Crucible album, Oak Lace Apparition (2024, House of Mythology)

Far away there’s a distance. There is a corner of a place and a sky that says it all. Through the brume I see it. It nears with the breeze. It is flying, its feathers covered in salt, its gaze forward or down. Through the mist I live to see it. It comes to me. I embrace the encounter on a peak of water, a peak of ice that meets us as one. The ice is one, the cloud in which I live. Where can I find you? Pelagian bird. Where can I hear the sound of your wings and hear the cry of your flight? So that you can take me with you. I gaze under the icy water: the gelid sun. I am the openness that greets you, that needs you to be born in land and fly forever to the ocean. I follow you deep. You are an innocent guide and therefore the only one who can show me how to shut my eyes and be.
He says: here is the sound of the ocean. The water greets you. Here is the sun and the cloud. Here is your home on the surface of the deepest. Here is the salty breeze. Here are the fish. Here is the drop of water. Here is the water. Here is the sky.
