lyrics

I am a little girl
chasing butterflies
remembering all that was
yet still I sleep in mother's arms
why can I not wake?

I am a baby
dreaming of birds and thistle
flowers and stone
and creatures of the earth
I remember many years from now
yet still I sleep
cradled in mother's arms
why can I not wake?

I am a woman
asleep by the river bed
I speak to myself
for so very long now
I’m so very cold
so very still
lungs rife with stagnant air
why can I not wake?

mother hold me
cradle me close to you
and kiss me goodbye
lay my body to the ground
that I may bloom
to seed the soil

I am a little girl again
running through poppy fields
dancing through misty meadows
chasing butterflies
chasing myself to sleep
remembering so many years ago
cradled in mother's arms
and again.... I sleep

I am a baby
sleeping again
in mother's womb
remembering all that was
fading now... I am awake

ANDROMEDA SKYLINE
by ISON

The songs are partly liberating to the point of floating freely, partly atmospheric or also grounded. Sometimes even both, which excites me the most. Thank you for this masterpiece. <3 Horst Feldmann

Cernunnos
by Dark Sanctuary

supported by 11 fans who also own “The Origin Of Sleep”

"[...] Cernunnos" is a wonderful, mystical dream and already belongs to the group of albums that I consciously start listening to when I'm actually too tired to listen to music and know full well that I'll have to doze off at some point. One likes to save this kind of euphony into the subconscious at night. [...]" my whole (German) review: https://derohlsen.blogspot.com/2023/12/dark-sanctuary-cernunnos.html Der Ohlsen

INNER - SPACE
by ISON

supported by 11 fans who also own “The Origin Of Sleep”

This album takes me on a wonderful journey. As for my favorite track, I could hardly decide between 'ISAE' and 'Everything's about to change forever'. From my feeling I can already feel an immense progress compared to 'Cosmic Drone' in terms of the clarity of the sound. Thank you for sharing this album with us! <3 Horst Feldmann
