Throw water in the fire and lay me down to rest Put out the flames with your bare hands Gently on my chest Like a love knife Putting to sleep my only friend Like a love knife Putting to sleep my only friend The serpent with a kiss Firmly on my lips Like water into wine, diluting its life drinking this tamed hurricane A poison bite Awakening my only friend A poison bite Awakening my only friend The wounds of our lust Bleeding memories in vain The wounds of our past Bleeding memories in pain Like a love knife Putting to sleep my only friend Like a love knife Awakening dreams of hurricanes A blue bird in the forest swept away by a stream of rage A dark horse in the distance galloping fiercely to nowhere safe The owl of wisdom stays silent with much to say The serpent of our past loses its scales and crawls away And all at once, Stare as the black bird rises And all at once, Stare as the black bird rises black bird rising black bird rising black bird rising black bird rising Dark clouds fall to the sky and scorch the bright moonlight Storm pierces though the skin like vicious claws for prey Thunder reaches the ground like electric blinding fire The hurricane then lifts it all into a circling pit of grey Stare through the eye of the storm As the black bird rises Stare through the eye of the storm As the black bird rises black bird rising black bird rising black bird rising black bird rising Through this blue bird hurricane The black bird rises Through this blue bird hurricane The black bird rises black bird rising black bird rising The hurricane's destruction to the end of the horizon Deafening silence through this land, invincible wall obstruction Handshake between nature and man, pave a way to new beginnings Fear lends its way to rising new meanings Through this blue bird hurricane black bird rises Through this blue bird hurricane The black bird rises black bird rising black bird rising

about

On my Birthday, 7th of the 3rd, 2017, this is the Debut EP with 17 minutes of music across 3 songs. The 3rd song goes for just over 7 minutes and is also the title track; Black Bird Rising.

I hope you enjoy it.

This is another experiment of self expression.
It's the first time that I attempt singing.
I will build this up as I go. Dancing with inspiration.

This is just the beginning of yet another creative journey.
I don't know the result.

about

Black Bird Rising Melbourne, Australia

I am strong believer that life is about the journey of creation. Black Bird Rising is yet another journey and this is only the beginning of that journey. My first attempt at singing, exploring something darker, more lyrically focused and experimenting with different sounds. I am also the guitarist in The Ugly Kings and Devil Electric. I hope you enjoy some of the sounds and stories here. Thank you ... more
