Niederrad 16, Chain of Lynx - Aria for a Painted World [FDR] 16:42
lyrics
The colours draw into gentle life Painting refuge, cold, for an outcast soul Flicker on the canvas, a banished land Ember marks its fate, black as winter coal Drawn into this world, alabaster dream Clutching close to me, this peculiar doll Shrouded figures I at once recall On their tongues, an exile I became As pigment drifts into a tundra pall I bridge the gorge, ascending to the flame The mirror rose within my restless mind A portrait I had never known With fearsome truth, it sought the core of me So keenly whetted on the stone Then sunken fast – mistook, I'd doubtless been Pursed of lips, and shook of head I'd etched the name, and fired the clay within My lot, as cast as dear Omstead Waking now - I sense a shape approach Bearing the arms, bearing the curs'd mark Far below, where footfall marks the snow Lost to his grasp, that effigy worn so stark Enemy charge; enemy fall Breaking the ranks through red, mottled maul Through the fog – a dream I did foresee!

about

With a run time of nearly 17 minutes and steeped in dark videogame lore, Aria for a Painted World is a crossover side project from Niederrad 16 and Chain of Lynx. It's unapologetically progressive, drawing on some major influences, not all of them Rock.

Both the original and the mastered/compressed versions are included.
