1.
The wanderer finds himself in a land Where the heavens and earth collide; He raises his hand to touch the sky And tries to reach the cosmic tide. As a gate into the night The stars are raining through the void And as a gleam dressed in white They cry in the dark and get destroyed. Gaze upon the Dark Moon, The night's silvery watcher, That covers lands in doom As the willows mourn the waters. The wanderer finds himself in a land Where the heavens and earth collide; He raises his hand to touch the sky And tries to reach the cosmic tide.
2.
As man's begotten on this earth From the Sun and from the wind Crossing landscapes from the north Obscure figures have aligned. As dew in the morning sunlight Everlasting fates are bright Spinning threads with care Being cut by daggers' smite. "As we weave the threads Life is being lit, From the heavens' gates Souls tendrils emit Under shadows of the clouds That have snowed upon the vast lands We shall weave your fate from strands Spreading you in earth and sands."

Cosmos shifting in the dark unclean Floating waters on the vale, Rotting what's forever green, Painting stones in colours pale. Vanish, darkened unseen sprite, Fly through mountains in the woods Where the deer sharpen their horns Through the devil's motherhood. With three fires I will burn you, With three stars I'll curse your fate Till you drown into the earth, Losing hope of giving birth. Vanish darkened unseen sprite, Fly through mountains in the woods Where the deer sharpen their horns Through the devil's motherhood.
5.
As night flowed into infinity Igniting drops of purest flames Our weary souls, they shimmered brightly Through eons' dust to kinder fates. But when iced vapour stops our breaths, As stars subside and daylight tires, We'll dive within and find ourselves Eternally reborn from ashen fire. The hearts we put under deep spell Shall beat again and spread new sparks Into each deadened mind and empty shell, Love will bring meaning till the end.

Vanish darkened unseen sprite, Fly through mountains in the woods Where the deer sharpen their horns Through the devil's motherhood.

about

"First Incantation" represents the debut album of Breath of the Cosmos.
It started as an orchestral album, but curiosity invited further experimentation with metal layers, ethnic instruments, synths and various voices.
It became a record that encapsulates, besides mythology and Romanian folklore references, a torrent of feelings, and becomes a playground for exploring the inner realms projected onto the outer world. "First Incantation" came to life during a time of great personal changes and transitions, thus the ambiances and themes it deals with are a direct reflection of the inner experience.
Throughout the album, the eyes are looking for meaning in the night skies, as they have from time immemorial, while the three Fates in "Obscure Figures of Fate" provide a return to mythology and to the belief that one cannot escape their assigned destiny.
The listener is taken in hypnotic flight above the landscape of Chaos and its primordial ocean, as well given the chance to experience the original state of things by means of dark and discordant orchestration. At the end, as a resolution to this most intense journey, the record delves into dreamy synth-atmospheres complemented by cellos, a space of peaceful reflection on the essence of things and what it is that matters most in the end.
