lyrics
i) a Round Unwound
Scorched by summer's salient flame, my brethren and I awaken
First the shell, and then the host; instinct to devour consumes all
On willow, linden, and birch; elderbery, elm, and maple
Every cell, a famine grows, manifesting my conatus
One part one, voracious swarm; crawling now while time crawls with me
ii)World Eater
I expand to fit this skin
Gorge myself to fill one more
Each new skin a bolder colour brings
Territory becomes more precious with each change
Our enemies graze on our numbers
The elements prey on our size
The swarm depletes with the foliage
Edacious glutton I survive
Dissociation with each feast grows until
having reached expansion's limit
There am I alone
iii) Enter the Pupae
A season dormant
Encased to escape Winter's bite
Flesh gives way to new flesh
Time stands frozen
iv) ...and there a Great Change occured
(Solo: JS)
v) A Moth is Born
I emerge from my carnal forge
Lux facta est!
And so I am reborn
Purpose function form
All I've known has changed
Perspective dawns anew
I'm granted wings!
So is time
So is time
vi) a Hunger of a Different Sort
(Solo: KS)
vii) Fly by Night
viii) A Romantic Duet
Senses quicken to the pace of the wind-born pheremone
Track it seven miles to its female form
To a current of air I entrust my scent
In the moss I lay awaiting my destiny
One night and one day do I stay when I find her
Propagating proof of me
By moonlight I glimpse his fine wing
With no mouth but the one whence my legacy shall come
I accept him
On the wing with the dawn for the lure feminin
Just a fortnight to spread my seed where I may
Need unquenched he flies with the sun
I am left there to lay my eggs where I may
ix) Ertrinken, versinken; unbewußt, höchste Lust!
