Pierwsze drzewo nie pamiętam
Pierwszy kamień nie pamiętam
Czy było szumem, czy było tylko snem
Czy poznałem je, czy zjawiło się, w słońcu czy śniegu
Usta prawdy są zamknięte, przyszedł czas
Nikt nie odpowie mi
Ten co wiedział co był prawdą odszedł już
Mówił nam, że przyszedł czas
Usta prawdy są coraz bardziej nieme
Zapach zrębu, ogień szerzy się
W oknie niebo, w niebie słońce
Patrzę na niewidome, białe słońce
Tarło krwi, aureoli złoty pancerz
Mówisz, że nieskończoność nie jest dla nas
Szybciej, więcej, prędzej. Żyć, kochać, być, śmiało trwać
Chiński mur
Bez początku, bez końca
Dzieli nas
Nadmiar słów, nadmiar głów, kamieniołom ciał i dusz
Nie ma kręgów piekła, jednak serce drży
Z wody i światła stworzeni
Czy to miłość, czy to strach?
Anioł stróżem marnym jest
Kamień bezradny otula się mchem.
PRETENDING LIFE
The first tree, I don't remember
The initial stone, it's slipped my mind
Was it a murmur, or simply a dream
Did I get to know them, or did they manifest, in sun or snow
The lips of truth are closed, the time has arrived
No one will respond to me
The one who knew what truth was, has departed
He told us, the time has come
The lips of truth grow ever more silent
The smell of fresh cut wood, the fire is spreading
In the window, the sky, in the sky, the sun
I stare at the blind, white sun
The grind of blood, a halo's golden armor
You say infinity is not for us
Faster, more, sooner
To live, to love, to be, to boldly persist
The Great Wall Without a beginning, without an end
It separates us An excess of words, a surplus of heads, a quarry of bodies and souls
There are no circles of hell, yet the heart quivers
Created from water and light
Is it love, or is it fear?
An angel is a feeble guardian
The powerless stone is enveloped in moss.

In their music, you can often find various influences from outside of rock music. This completes
the whole and affects the surprising reception this ambitious music....more

Bjorn never made a secret of his Pink Floyd/Dave Gilmour and, as neither do I, it only was a question of time when I added this EP/mini album to my collection. The Karisma special deal helped, thank you very much :-)
I don't only love the music, the cover (and title) are also very fitting for this fine Floyd homage! Carsten Pieper

Lead guitarist for Neo-Prog band, Airbag, has released this solo recording, and as expected, there is plenty of guitar goodness all through it. He brings in other musicians to fill out the band, as well as being joined at times by a female vocalist. The lyrics are thoughtful and often mournful, with a wealth of dynamic tension and release, musically. It becomes more striking with each listen, as, deceptively, there is much to ponder here.
