lyrics

-Minerva-
No one is born in their armor straight from the mind of her father
The story makes us wonder, what about her mother?
He swallowed them both whole, fearful Jupiter
but from within him ringing, the pounding and the clinking of metal being shaped
what a headache, his skull would break
Her mother made the weapons and armor for protection
just so she could be born
the fiercer the womxn, the harder they get pushed into all the ways of war

-Fleur-
Placing the owl's heart underneath her tongue she could hunt all night
it gave her night vision
Dusting her hands in the powders of bones
diving to the bottom of the lake alone
What does she know? Where does she go?

-Diana-
Where did they go? 1000 souls, where did they go?
the last time they were seen, they were waiting for the bus to take them to the factory
was anyone searching for nay of them when
there came a reckoning, August 2013

Go near, she will teach you how to die
The fear just might show you the value of a life
The years of unanswered femicide
Made clear that Diana would arrive

What a beautiful, haunting experience all around, always melts me from start to finish. Incredible and deep sound, amazing atmosphere and cohesion, unexpected jazz elements unlike anything I've heard, and don't get me started on the vocals. Really hard to choose a favorite track. dan-rod
