about

First single from upcoming album - Iteration 33. In this album, we have incorporated styles of singing, story telling and musical movements that are inspired by traditional javanese (Indonesian)folk and gamelan music. This song talks of anxiety of the unknown. A common mental ailment we are all victim of. This could be a song of an indigenous man in the jungle who fears the alien aeroplanes that fly over his hut or about the common learned man who fears the simple things, like a virus. Be not the victim of your childhood fear for the real terror is not under your bed but already in your head.

lyrics

Big black Wings,
weird strange thing,
under my bed, in my head.

(chorus)
It comes to me in my sleep, speaks to me in tongues, I dare not reach.

(Verse)
I see two big black wings hovering over my head,
I see the weird strange thing crawling from under the bed,
My thoughts stay stationary, I'm cold and i'm afraid,
i see a hawk-headed man and he's flying my way.

Big black Wings,
weird strange thing,
under my bed, in my head.

6.6.6

Cross the moat, Fill your mind, The time is now!

(chorus)
It comes to me in my sleep, speaks to me in tongues, I dare not reach.

Big black Wings,
weird strange thing,
under my bed, in my head.

6.6.6

Cross the moat, Fill your mine (Phil, you're mine?), The time is now!

(chorus)
It comes to me in my sleep, speaks to me in tongues, I dare not reach.
