Como o tempo, a doença acresce peso. Forma tamanho, forma desprezo.
O corpo é a derrota de si mesmo, esgotado. O pé atravessa a pegada de um século passado.
Calca o seu abismo, a sua vertigem.
A raíz do osso é agora um peso excedente. Um carregar de ombros para o descendente.
O velho assoma-se nas costas do filho. Pronto na derrocada da coluna vertebral.
O caminho íngreme para finalizar o tempo e o lugar. A queda é a maior subida. A ascensão para a anulação.
Os dedos folgam a tentativa de esmagar os dias.
As mãos são dois restantes esforços de movimento no declínio da memória e do pensamento.
Os dentes mordem o céu da boca, incapazes de morder a gestação.
O líquido coagula, congela a alma. A visão do inevitável é o único grão palpável.
O novo tropeça, subindo. O velho mingua, desvanecendo.
Transforma-se em carapaça naquele que o leva. É uma dor que o abraça e torna-se pedra.
Pisa a altitude de uma queda. Pousa o fardo que carrega. Uma parte de si. Arranca metade de si.
A montanha rasga as nuvens sofridas.
O ser antigo é rejuvenescido. Junta as forças num último feito.
Na despedida final.
O grito é espesso na garganta.
Preso nas cordas vocais, colado às paredes da laringe.
Masca-se o silêncio. Mastiga-se o medo.
A própria saliva é o veneno. A semente.
O círculo que rebenta na íris e dissipa-se no interior.
“Axioma” is a concept album that combines Depressive, Black and Doom Metal elements to tell a story inspired by the legendary Scandinavian senicide ritual. It is told that the practice consisted in elderly people throwing themselves, or being thrown, from precipices after becoming unable to take care of themselves or perform everyday tasks. The lyrics, written in Portuguese, describe the ritual from different angles, while the musical soundscape seamlessly represents the ebb and flow of the narrated events.
Featuring members from CARMA and EVERTO SIGNUM.
