Bon Road 04:05
Ooh, leaves are falling gold I save the lens for the road Ooh, seeming why you left I stay here with gold intent Coventry, the sound to me Is the light beneath the road I believe in mystery In stories left untold I believe in something bigger Frigid night spits gold Soon you’ll come back around Statuary signs, a midsummer's night Dream the air has gone so dry It is clear to see you’re a mystery Scattered deep beneath the fold Give into the night, nothing's meant to be Nothing's clear to see at all No you don't believe in slowed rites of heartsease A purple iris you hide Nearby, the skies prolong for you Soon you’ll come back around

Black Flower 04:32
Fallen flower, oh, sailing through A sinful whisper, dear, you're fading blue Heed the silence in a steady drone Gives you, honey, a sentimental song Just so you know, I sold the tide Dark reside, to the moon, a sold design In the night Oh, black wed Dark ride, white lead Oh, I stray So far away Black flower, black flower A subtle kind, gone divine, drawn aside Gazed inside, paled the skies, a soft abide Silver moon shines the loom of the day Lights the lune from inside, inside of you Oh, black wed Dark ride, white lead Oh, I stray So far away Black flower, black flower La la la la la la la, la la la la La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la Oh, black wed Dark ride, white lead Oh, I stray So far away Black flower, black flower Black flower, black flower Black flower, black flower Black flower

Residual 03:59
In time you’ll find me underneath the glaze I’m the dividing stone in between the two lakes It's where I reside For the grave, it filled the open space In between, my eyes are peering through the vase Cause I'm still caught up Caught up I'm still caught up

Sparrow 05:31
She's lustrous, oh you know it Like a dark set sparrow Hiding in a dream A garden of tourmaline Oh, sparrow Oh, sparrow Silver is the sun A lodestar on the run Brown feathers sowed the sea A black sorceress bestowed Oh, sparrow Oh, sparrow All dressed in satin, a veil that so purely avows Deep in a history, cauldrons and curtains and crowns You steep in her remedy now Now She's lustrous, oh you know it Like an oread sparrow Abiding in a dream A garden of tourmaline All dressed in satin, a veil that so purely avows Deep in a history, cauldrons and curtains and crowns You steep in her remedy now You steep in her remedy now Steep in her remedy now You steep in her remedy Oh, sparrow Oh, sparrow

Idyllic 02:42
I found a locket Beneath the seam You made it all sound spotless You don't consider this to be pertinent? It's pretty idyllic For one to take the blame You're making it sound euphoric In districts of shame Oh, but you're idyllic And it's all in vain Oh, but you're idyllic And it's such a shame
6.
Stone Towers 06:10
Like a slumber In the moss Like a display In the dark I have loved you From the start But there's cold veneer near the cloud of you Of you, of you, of you Sit on back in thrones of blue And inlay black, so righteous you Bear cold decree It's dead to me Sit on through while your mistakes loom You're stone dead blind and it's drowning all Your company It's dead to me What are you here for? You're caught astray What am I here for? You're my decay So You codify In stone towers Of courtyards And I shudder Oh, I hide Silhouette of white In the middle of the night The night, night Sit on back in thrones of blue And inlay black, so righteous you Bear cold decree It's dead to me Sit on through while your mistakes loom You're stone dead blind and it's drowning all Your company It's dead to me So what am I here for? I'm caught astray What am I here for? I've gone astray What are you here for? Now I'm your decay What are you here for? Now I'm your decay Oh, but I nearly died By a forest fire in your eyes

about

"Obsidian Ritual" ebbs and flows between defeat and empowerment in a ritualistic honesty, embracing both incoherence and clarity, stagnation and transmogrification. Both light and darkness interplay vocally and instrumentally, wherein their juxtaposition is oftentimes indecipherable. Stylistically inspired by surreal dreams, untamed gardens and textures of velvet and lace, the EP sets the stage for the sonic realm in which Dol Ikara resides. Look out for a full-length album to follow.
