Previously released on Tales from Hydhradh (2018).
Æthĕrĭa Conscĭentĭa was formed in September 2016 with the desire to play space black metal, before adding a saxophone, making them navigate in uncharted new territories, somewhere between black metal, jazz and prog.
Amidst strange planets and deadly rituals, let yourself go on a trip to Hydhradh...
lyrics
Our mighty specie
Has been contaminated
Milleniums ago
Artificial parasitic life
Illusion of symbiosis
Running in our veins
The masquerade has lasted
way too long
A duality within my soul
I feel the urge to purge myself
Get rid of those parasites
Exterminate the siraxas
Pompous ceremonies, holy demonstrations of perfection
A bag of meat, exalted and scarred, golden diadems
Bleeding open wounds, silver linings along his limbs
Exposed to everyone’s eyes, a spectacle to impregnate minds
Sliced, a sacred knife gashing through veins and flesh
Holy ecstasy, bringing closer to Ætheria
Bloodletting, amorphous heap of gross pulp
Removing the mechanicals horrors that plague his body
Tumors grown and destroyed again and again
The metallic smell of blood fills the temple
Severed limbs rotting on the floor
The Exalted Ones, screaming with pain
from the depths of the city
On the gore covered altars
I smear the pillars of the temples
with the blood from my hands
Hand prints old and dried
And some still trickling down
Reaching up to the stars
From a blood red sea.
