lyrics

The People Who Change Nature

Do you know what we are afraid of, white man?
Do you know what makes us shake in our mothers arms?

We are afraid of your power.
It pulses like a light too bright.

We are afraid of how you attack the portrait
of a land like it has always been yours and yours only.

We are afraid the maps we have memorised
will have changed so much it will take
more than one generation to memorise
the new inlets and coves.

We are afraid because you have
silenced our shaman.

Now he looks at the land
like he's never seen it before.

We are afraid of your separation
from the animal world.

You people, who change nature,
your separation is all too complete.
There is no going back for you.
The north will not be on your side again.

Serpents In The Sky
by Njiqahdda

Njiqahdda is so full of inspiration and true knowledge seekers. Serpents in the Sky is superb. The creativity seems endless, the blend of styles and themes. Crushing riffs and melodic leads abound. Crown of Asteria

Blood of the Black Owl
by Blood of the Black Owl

Transcending into realms long forgotten. This release is shrouded in an intangible force , a primordial effluence devoid of human touch. Thrumming with the ichor of trees. Crown of Asteria
