Category: Afternoon Song

Good afternoon. The Universe has a funny way of speaking to us. In a note about Mask of Illusion Shane Embury of Dark Sky Burial writes:

“This Track explores the concepts of the Death of Ego…removing the mask or various masks of Illusion we hide behind – At this time of my life i feel guided towards a new path which is terrifying as i just don’t know where its going to lead but i believe its a new birth … “

and the song lyrics are:

Mask Of Illusion

I stare through vacant eyes
reflections of my past still reside
Where life once was now only shadow and silence smiles
now only shadow and silence smiles

These masks of Illusion
Are now messengers of death
discard the masks of illusion
Rise from the Ashes and Radiate with fire

Old dreams of what was to
come
Beckoned me towards the sun
Yet flying high only crushed my soul
it crushed my fragile soul

These masks of Illusion
Are now messengers of death
discard the masks of illusion
Rise from the Ashes and Radiate with fire  

The themes approached on Shane Embury’s note and lyrics echo those I have been approaching in The Listening Room HQ and The Polymath.
