Romance's Romance [Ocean Remix] 05:20
lyrics
buy track
Dormant on shores of undying mystery Of beauty and grace is thy desired poetry. One word, so softly spoken Our love, the bleeding token The world I'd have stolen For you, devoted caress For you, tragic romance For you, tainted universe. Into your romance I'd hike Wounded hand grasping at stars Soothing my distress, plenitude of scars As water, thee, mistress, Onto my fire would strike. One word, so softly spoken Our love, the bleeding token The world I'd have stolen For you, devoted caress For you, tragic romance For you, tainted universe. Like a swan that dies of her own chant Like the tears I must weep to maintain her lake As long as flesh still warm remains Our love won't ever lose its sense Yet sometime our lit would be obscured, whereas Our passion shall be told as Romeo and Juliet's And this poem would keep forever, hence Its Shakespearean essence...

La Steaua / Din Noaptea Veșnicei Uitări (Reprise) [Woofer Mix] 02:57
lyrics
buy track
Din noaptea veșnicei uitări În care toate curg, A vieții noastre dezmierdări Și raze din amurg. De unde nu mai străbătu Nimic din ce-au apus Aș vrea odată-n viață tu Să te înalți în sus. Și dacă ochii ce-am iubit N-or fi de raze plini, Tu mă privește liniștit Cu stinsele lumini. Și dacă glasul adorat N-o spune un cuvânt, Tot înțeleg că m-ai chemat Dincolo de mormânt.

Bocet [Weeping Remix] 03:00
lyrics

O, lacrimi triste, arămii La poarta sufletului, aparte Al vostru-i plânsul inimii Ce tremură deoparte? O, lacrimi grele, abandonate Încă un vis neîmplinit Așteaptă trenurile-amânate Călătorind spre infinit.

Tablou [Pub Version] 02:53
lyrics

Suntem un vis într-o culoare Ca parfum din floare Sub lumina cutezătoare Suntem dragostea ucigătoare. Suntem un tablou nereușit Abandonat și prăfuit Schițând amănunțit Un imposibil nedefinit. Ca o seacă privire Pierzându-se-n neștire Suntem ireparabili.

Winter's Ballad [Fire In Winter Remix] 03:04
lyrics
buy track
On snow-covered, naked trees The raven's funerary crawl Winter's dreadful paces increase The frost will twist in us all. The winds dissipate their cries That resemble to a vow, In their red and hungry eyes Engaged with death I am now. In disillusions, conceptually Underneath that snowy carpet Abattoir's blood enticing Lost forever is any outlet. Well, when I'd be defeated The ravens will solemnly bow Maybe I always knew it And likely it will snow. Engaged with death I am now...

Înger Diform [Autumnal Mix] 06:04
lyrics
buy track
Worlds, many worlds, but this loneliness, Like ancient trees on the margin of life. Their leaves turned into heads of men Heads of men were like bodies of trees Till death will suck the honey From our wasted breaths... The end deformed by desires, will I Crawl into nature's embrace To restate the portrait of life I need to keep [up] my pace. I see satellites bursting out of the solitude They are like a swarm of flies, Carring on the meditations of cosmos. The symphony and myth of death and dying Let loose obsession within me, Artistic theory, visionary. Above the world's delirium, a candle will light Throughout the night, the spirit catched on course Towards saturation, unknown destination. Înger diform, nemuritor și rece [Angel diformed, immutable and cold].

La Steaua / Noaptea Veșnicei Uitări [Poetic Reflection] 05:30
lyrics
buy track
La steaua care-a răsărit E-o cale-atât de lungă, Că mii de ani i-au trebuit Luminii să ne-ajungă. Poate de mult s-a stins în drum În depărtări albastre, Iar raza ei abia acum Luci vederii noastre. Icoana stelei ce-a murit Încet pe cer se suie Era pe când nu s-a zărit Azi o vedem, și nu e. Tot astfel când al nostru dor Pieri în noapte-adâncă, Lumina stinsului amor Ne urmărește încă. Din noaptea veșnicei uitări În care toate curg, A vieții noastre dezmierdări Și raze din amurg. De unde nu mai străbătu Nimic din ce-au apus Aș vrea odată-n viață tu Să te înalți în sus. Și dacă ochii ce-am iubit N-or fi de raze plini, Tu mă privește liniștit Cu stinsele lumini. Și dacă glasul adorat N-o spune un cuvânt, Tot înțeleg că m-ai chemat Dincolo de mormânt. E ființa-mi tremurândă Care trece-n infinit, Ca un fulger fără țintă, Ca un cap fără zenit. Și din chinuri ce mă-neacă, Eu sorb mirul cel curat, Cum o lebădă se pleacă Bând din lacul înghețat. Și cu moartea cea adâncă Am schimbat al vieții gând, Am fost vultur pe o stâncă, Acu-s o cruce pe-un mormânt. Care-i scopul vieții mele, Întreb sufletu-mpietrit? Ochiu-i stins, buzele mele De dureri a-nvinețit. Din noaptea veșnicei uitări În care toate curg, A vieții noastre dezmierdări Și raze din amurg. De unde nu mai străbătu Nimic din ce-au apus Aș vrea odată-n viață tu Să te înalți în... Și dacă ochii ce-am iubit N-or fi de raze plini, Tu mă privește liniștit Cu stinsele lu... Și dacă glasul adorat N-o spune un cuvânt, Tot înțeleg că m-ai chemat Dincolo de mor...

Până Nu Pier [Schizo Mix] 03:14
lyrics
buy track
Stelele-n cer, deasupra mărilor, ard depărtărilor, până ce pier După un semn, clătind catargele, tremură largele vase de lemn Niște cetăți, plutind pe marile și mișcătoarele pustietăți, Stol de cocori apucă-ntinsele și necuprinsele drumuri de nori. Până nu mor, pleacă-te îngere la trista-mi plângere, plină de-amor Stol de cocori apucă-ntinsele și necuprinsele drumuri de nori Zboară ce pot și-a lor întrecere, veșnică trecere, asta-i tot Floare de crâng, astfel viețile și tinerețile trec și se sting Orice noroc își întinde aripile, gonit de clipele stării pe loc. Până nu mor, pleacă-te îngere la trista-mi plângere, plină de-amor.

about

RA, the project, which I carried with me for a long time, represents the sphere of living the poetry, the spell to one's abyssic soul. Geniu Pustiu was a result of my love to the poetry, especially Romanian in those times, when I was still involved with AGATHODAIMON. But this poetry was screaming for something deeper to mirror the poetic aspects. The music was created to suit the verses and not viceversa as we normally did with AGATHODAIMON. It was a challenging job at that time, as it was my first album done beside the band and I experienced another side of music, still dark and poetic at its core.

Some of the lyrics are written by the Romantic poet, novelist and journalist Mihai Eminescu (January 15, 1850 – June 15, 1889), considered one of the most famous and influential Romanian poets, a genius comparable to thousand of worlds entirely, a timeless portrait of unearthly art. He was, is and will be that arrow, which carries the love and the venom of an entity embalmed together. A gathering of cold, undying stars, hand in hand with the wisdom of all...

This is one of the reasons, why I dedicate RA to this unfathomable universe of poetry. A poet gives shape to different things, he plants hope in those verses, he feeds hatred and lets love flourish in its own definitions, creating another garden of... he can see beyond, he creates and he destroys in such beautiful way...

All of us are willing to understand what one is capable of, but you oughta know that RA is not another act in this scene of music, it is the poetry of one's spirit that's here wrapped in sounds and visions... Each track represents my interpretation of that unique text, it is a mountain of notes and musical expressions which colors the poems, impersonating them... just imagine you are part of it.

Each RA album will specifically have this emblem, a cascade of emotions, a web of styles and creations; the listener must have this feeling of a cosmic ride thru different galaxies, where nothing is the way we know... except for the listener...

Love it or hate it!

Remastered Edition.

Note: The initial production suffered from a mastering issue and the music run ~3% too quickly, and therefore the pitch and timing were incorrect! This present version has this issue remedied! My gratitude goes to Martin 'Sathonys' Wickler, my good friend from AGATHODAIMON!
