1.	First Flame 04:02	lyrics	buy track
Take the first step through the gates the smell of cut vines iron in the air Clouds shift as we breathe the remains of burned maps only hope to guide our way Burn the old ones set the first flame We'll bury this misery deep down within our own black hearts this madness can't be without purpose Take the first step Set the first flame Leave this cursed land gift for the wretched leave this burned land vengeance is quenched head deep into the green womb the stench of pain leaving our burns leave this cursed land leave this burned land take the first step set the first flame burn the old ones - set the first flame embrace of leaves guiding our way New life new paths in the womb of living forests iron in our hands minds shift as we live there are no more burned ones no more hate to cloud our way we'll bury this misery deep down within our black heart This madness can't be without purpose the length of this treachery curse of revenge within our own black hearts this torment can't be without punishment take the first step set the first flame
2.	The Living Green 04:01	lyrics	buy track
The sight ignites the air drenched by the living green winged trees carpet the sky cast a song in their shade Our dreaming eyes seek the stars this night betrayed by the mist Ancient call drowned the truth of our control shame The earth seeps in bathes our crown the heart of wooden towers Closer to the truth we dig coated by our roots Waves of treachery of future in lies Old blood becomes reborn infused by the sun giant fingers sprawl from the womb Forbid the story the deal is struck Ghost of rain Hypnotic myriad enchanted parasite
3.	Clearing 03:28	lyrics	buy track
The clarity we felt as the ground we stood in your words make it seem so fleeting the darkness and distress of inevitable cries just cut my arms open let me run This cursed words are the knife - I'll cut you from our future your eyes won't see the failure of this world stop listening to their noise Let the blood sacred blood flow eternal Let the blood sacred blood washes our future There's no escape let the blood flow we remember the light drowning away from the warmth there's no escape save from sacred blood remember the warmth stay away from our world Let the blood sacred blood wash our future
4.	Wall Of Ashes 05:51	lyrics	buy track
I saw the wall of ashes coming down our doors betray us as we choke on our filth There in the fog a face unseen enthralled by your light something dies my warnings cease to be I saw the wall of ashes coming down but my eyes were swept away To build in a damned place - now we succumb to live in a damned place the curse of lies entwined The longing you feel for us is burying your life brings out the worst for your heart and you cant see what if the ashes never come what if the fire never breaks free I saw a wall of fire but my eyes turned away I took your light to let go now watch it all burn Give me your dead hands and watch it all burn with me watch it all burn while you hold my lies - watch it all burn The longing you feel for us is burying your life brings out the worst for your heart and you cannot see what if the ashes never come what if my fire never breaks free

about

During the 15th and 16th century the American continent was the epicentre of discovery and colonization by the most prominent economic powers of Europe. Unbeknownst to them was the fact that other local groups based in what would be known as the island of Chiloé in Chile already had domination plans of their own. Shrouded in myth and protected by irrational fear a particular group had a firm hold of the population and very specific expansion plans for South America. In our reality this group was dismantled through bureaucracy but there was also an exchange, a legend. A book of western occultism would herald an alchemical mix of cultures, a dreadful possibility for the inhabitants of this new world.

Under the ever reaching sight of the Sacred Mountain this story is truth. As inhabitants of this summit we break the fourth wall to bring you songs about the oppressors and the oppressed. This is a world where globalization only happened to the elite and for a very specific purpose: power and control. The technological gap is non-existent as the ruling class is only a myth. Isolated towns and cities are but sporadic anguishing screams drowned by an relentless forest that has retaken the metropolises of old. There is no need for direct means of police; population control is automated through ignorance, black magic and lies.

The Living Green is our genesis. The poem of the original architects of this oppressing reality. An eternal, authoritarian, dark grip that would never let go of the world. This chapter is a collection of stories that permeate our universe, an augmented reflection that intersects with our own world in its most violent and perverse ways. It is all seen by the eyes of Montaña Sagrada.
