lyrics

Once upon a time in a faraway flat earth lived puppets
They all were careless and free.
Among them there was an illusionist.
He was a bright young puppet with big ambitions in life.
He created a lot of joy for all other puppets.

One day in his show he tried a new trick-
A mass hypnosis.
He hanged each puppets’ limbs in wires and assured that they were safe and he’ll take a care of them.
He said his spell, twisted the spiral
And crowd did whatever he said

What started as joke, turned into nightmare-
Illusionist didn’t break his spell..

Besotted with power and greed
He kept going even wilder-
Through wires he started to implement his thoughts and agendas
Whenever he wanted to control someone
He simply pulled the wires, puppets followed the impulse
And did exactly what illusionist intended them to do.
At the same time puppets thought that this action is their choice, their free will.

Puppets became marionettes under illusionists spell.

Along the way one puppet broke free by realizing control from the wires.
Now if he could cut all other’s wires then they all could be free again.
He ran with scissors to cut the wires but illusionist could not allow it.
He pulled the wires and puppets knocked down the one who came to set them free.

"What if we die without our wires?
Illusionist promised he wouldn’t do us any harm. He takes a good care of us!”
...and all these ideas were implanted to them.
Only Scissorman detected the lies and proceeded to save his associates.

Illusionist got pissed off by Scissorman’s persistence and he implemented a new thought-
All puppets saw Scissorman as enemy and they threw him over Earth’s flat edge.

The illusionist’s show goes on till this day
No one has ever broke his spell
So far it’s the greatest illusion of all times

If another Scissorman wakes up
He’s destined to the same scenario.

No one ever lived happily ever after
Although everyone thought- they did
Illusionist implemented false beautiful visions in empty, obedient minds.

The END

Elusive Reflections

It's a great blend of different metal genres and styles, with great solos in basically every song, just that touch of oriental influences that feel natural but not artificial and above all else, performed by the beautiful, haunting voice of Jelena Dobric, who uses it in a way that is not the typical operatic approach as we are used to from other female-fronted bands wormys_queue

Very late to this, but I'm glad I found it. The very brand of melodic death/doom I savor so much. Soaring leads, haunting riffs, and melancholic vocals. Everything I hold dearest in music. Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass)
