lyrics

There is a big tree near my house.
And every day about 5 AM dozens of crows come here and sit at that
tree, which makes it look almost like a huge black smear.
I tend to wake up at around 5 AM, so I go watch
them for a while, and return to bed after a few minutes.
And I often have a dream of this kind:
In my dream, I wake up because of ravens that wait at that tree for me to come,
and they order me to look for the tzar of ravens because he wants to see me.
So I dress up and walk out to my street. I walk like this for some time, and,
suddenly, I see some huge, massive spotlight... only it emits darkness instead of light.
I head towards it, and, suddenly, I’m in the woods



And so I walk among the trees, and, all at once, I see the tzar of ravens.
He strolls right there... slowly, holding his hands
on his back. He has a human-like body, slightly hunched,
and he wears a raven mask on his face. I know
he wanted to see me but I am too scared to leave my cover,
thus I only stare at him walking away. And so
I stand there like an idiot not knowing what to do,
and after a moment I can hear some moaning.
I realize that I am surrounded by ghosts wailing of sorrow,
I don’t know, of pain? Children, maybe?
So I run away from that place,
I run through the woods until I finally reach a huge beautiful glade
in the middle of which stands a palace.

Yet, at the line between the forest and that glade, the same ravens that ordered me to look
for the tzar sit on the corpse of a man.
I want to go to the castle but they tell me that in order to enter I
need to die first. So I tell them it is not the time yet but they insist.

And I repeat over and over again
"It is not the time yet...
It is not the time..."

Hauntologist Kraków, Poland

Deeply rooted in negative metal music, it leans toward other genres and forms of expression to seek analogue musical sounds of sleepless nights and surreal, anxiety-provoking hallucinations.
