If I die before I wake pray no gods my soul to take If I live without a hope give me strength to cope If I die before you wake don’t be sad my life is fake My final wish my last appeal live your life make it real

about

As with the last pure Makrotulpa release - this is pretty dark. It's an exciting kind of dark though - like a seance in a graveyard.
Everyone has their own "Omphalus" - be it power, family, love or a crucifix. For me it is the sacred spaces where the horizon is a blur, not through smog or high-rise developments, but because it is further away than I can see.
I'm increasingly luxuriating inward. On a clear day you can see forever and these are some of the things I see.
We all need to get out more don't we?

Makro as in Roland Kayn. Also as in enlarging tiny worlds.
