about

Related to the "red" color of (human) blood, the third and also longest track of the EP adresses a specific issue - both purpose and misconception of this life-enabling body fluid.

While on the one hand it is the fundamental basis of functional life as we know and exprience it, on the other hand it serves as an entry point, a gateway, a host and transport medium for any harmful invader.

Just as we ourselves are subject to this concept (as we have recognised over the last two years), we act in the same way with and against our environment.

But are we an "inner" part of this paradigm that is supposedly making life possible or do we stand outside of the organism "nature"? And are we free to choose?

On a side note, how do you like that saxophone solo?

lyrics

A crimson flow of vitality
A continuous but unlasting flux

[An eternity ends
In absence of nothing
Pushed by a solvent]*

Providing essentials and upkeep with diligence:
A morbid insomniac of self-preservation

As the circular flow proceeds
it grows prone to infection
It impacts its host with volatile incidences

The warrantor of life
Is the carrier of the end!
Blushing, warming, exciting
The protractor of sentience
Hurting, bleeding, coagulating
The manifestation of exitus

Resistance is futile!
It's no part of the concept.
Choose to survive by chance
or forfeit at once.

A crimson flow of imminence
Continuously nourished with mischief
Providing squalor and gradual attrition:
A frantic insomniac of martyrdom.

Seeking repose pervading each pore
Fulfilling the erythraean paradigm
