aoi - Sekhet Iaru (instrumental progressive music)
This is the latest song I've been working on. It's inspired by the Egyptian after-life (at least the first part of the song is).
Sekhet-Iaru means "Fields of Reeds".
I finished the instrumentation in early Autumn. However this will be my first song with a voice, but I still haven't found an appropriate singer. I thought that, meanwhile, I might share the instrumental version. I hope you'll enjoy.
Lyrics are as follows:
0:57
The field of reeds is/ glowing like gold
All is still, but the /raven high and old,
All I feel is the / sun on my face
My eyes are burning / I leave this elusive place
I wander hazily / but soon I feel pulled in
to an ancient river / that runs beneath everything
2:00
Fading from this realm
Into a formless beam
Of colourful lights
The void my soul ignites
2:36
Numinous dance of colours and sounds
Spirits unbound
3:18
My mind is dissolving / My mortal form eludes me
Memories of all I've been / I can no longer see
Perceptions are fading / I am floating beyond
But visions of earthly lives / urge me to return home
With fear and dread / I seek for my self
This body, and sense of memory / of which I am bereft
4:22
But fighting fate is futile / there is no way to resist
resign to this timeless flow / on this river adrift.
-aoi

Both @ArtTurtle and @Artopium (and perhaps soon @thejollyroger) are being needlessly downvoted by themarkymark. The more the delegator bots
are downvoted the less they will be able to upvote your content so this is an indirect attack on you! This is happening out of
pure vindictiveness as you know these bots are not spam and are powered by your steem power. Please help out by upvoting this comment
in order to counteract themarkymark's downvotes. Then please use your new downvote pool to downvote themarkeymark. He is a witness
and is abusing his power as such. Please unvote him for witness here.
He creates blacklists of thousands of Steemians he deems "inappropriate". I believe he is a majority cause for the drop in
the price in steem as he wrecklessly downvotes random content causing people to want to leave Steemit. Since he has over 500,000 SP
he can do quite a bit of damage, so it's going to take a concerted effort to get him to stop. Thank you!
