These seven statements are neither wonders nor jokes.
Our manifestoes as a Rock Band.
We have nothing to say other than these.
All you need is just listen to our music.
We climb the mountain.
It exists in nowhere but everywhere simultaneously,
sometimes it is visible and invisible to our eyes.
We climb the only holy mountain of the universe that
rises high on deep bottom of all of our spirits.
We search for the Layline.
Shining sun scatters colors on the snow
field water course way is lightened
and your blood flows into this
We are the night
Black laughter
You dance naked losing yourself
far is closeand close is far
here you wander silence covers everything
Dream scream with each other
We are the day
Urge to kill wakes up in the sunlight in the summer
On the scent soil offer
your blood and look up into the blue sky
so far and until you faint
We are the mirror
Scattered mirrors on the road
There's something reflected
The wave of crowd is the missing your part
All is exchanged with yourself
We go toward the origin
shapeless ocean, to the noisy bottom of senseless.
The place where ourconscious frictions go between.
There may you hear prayer
and course standout in the bang noise.
We are ...
And God created the world in six days
and settled the seventh day as a Sabbath,
which form mystery circulation.
Nothingness which is rich
and bleeds all creation.
That is the blank you have to fill in.
We need you to achieve our Overhang Party.
