lyrics

I caught a glimpse
Trees where there were none
A hidden forest
Waiting by the boundary

Inhabiting liminal space
Connected, root to bone
Close to the edge
My flowers grow

And sinews twine like a stem’s embrace

Wood faced symbiont
Dryad, my guardian
I caught a glimpse
Trees where there were none
A hidden forest
Waiting by the boundary

Roots reach flesh over the multiplex

Cambium, caressing skin
Leaching soul back to the heart

Quick as it came the leaves dissipate
In ruins of mirage, a single seed clings to life

-Grieve -
Terrified we too will fade 
But to undo our art and forsake our days?
With our last poison breath as green withers we say 
We didn’t want to survive anyway
 Nothing is left to grieve
Nothing

Hope Is Heavy
by Acid Magus

supported by 39 fans who also own “A Stem's Embrace”

Just some very quality stoner rock/metal. Excellent riffs, guitar tone, vocals, production, and great hooks. My biggest complaint about a lot of this kind of music is a lot of bands forget to include hooks. Acid Magus didn't. mobesneedmusic

Take a trip into cosmic space, follow the sensational sound of which is Seeds and feel the power of the Domkraft riffage. Did not think that this band could get any better but they have shot straight through the stratosphere with this superb album. Darknight
