1.
The time has come 
To disintegrate 
 Into the arms 
 Of the void again 

 You suffer! 
You suffer! 

 You who has raged 
 Eternally 
Become again
 The void 

 Dark Sun Destroyer
2.
Silence comes 
 And a creeping light 
 Emanates from your soul

 As autumn leaves
 Fall upon 
 The forest floor

 And so it awakens again 
 The wolf of this mountain
 The beast reborn 
 It creeps at dawn
 Through ancient woods 
 Searching endlessly 

For a tangled throne 
 Overgrown 
Beneath the beech and fir
 So long my friend
 Suffering
 So long darkness Oh spirit I'm dark 
 Spirit I'm light 
Warring endlessly 

 Emerge the wolf!

3.
Resurfacing 09:14
Electric cascades The light is enchanted Fractal explosions Against a backdrop of darkness The condor and the blue faced god Come to me through the veil The suffering I inflict upon myself Revealed in the light Of their ancient gaze Oh the thing that I am 
In the darkness 
Oh the thing that I am 
In the silence 
 Infinite suffering 
 Or infinite love
 A choice in the darkness 
 To find the world above 

 Resurfacing 
Coming around again 
 Oh spirit save me 
Or kill me
 You feed upon 
My energy
 Infinite suffering 
 Or infinite love 
 A choice in the darkness
 To find the world above 

 Resurfacing 
 Coming around again 

 Rebirth 
 Resurfacing! 
Rebirth
 Through suffering!

about

Sorrow and beauty exist side by side in the realisation that we, as humans, emerge from star dust and light in vast nebula to take form here on Earth with conscious minds and open hearts and an often profound sense of loneliness stemming from our existence within a vast universe. We come raging from the stars, crashing to Earth, broken and beaten and destroyed, yet willing to rise again. We love and are loved and exhale unimaginable beauty and light into our own and each other's existence. And yet we suffer, we lose our way, we bend under addiction, we anxiously strain at the light beneath immense skies and while much is outside our comprehension, we wonder, we evolve, we grow. 



Fuck suffering - that is the theme of Nirodha. In ‘The Prophet’ by Kahlil Gibran it states 'Much of your pain is self-chosen' - this realisation, allied with the conscious intent to choose to be better, to choose to transcend attachment, craving and aversion, to choose to live and emerge from the cycles of suffering and dislocation, is the primal yelp at the heart of our music.



We struggle to exist as a band because life is complicated, so if this is our last transmission then let it be thus: At the heart of everything there is light, a light which connects us all, and there is in reality no point at which one of us ends and another begins. We are one, created in the furnace of exploding stars and imbued with the incredible gift of conscious awareness. This awareness comes with a price and a challenge: the price is that we are beings who suffer amidst this beauty, and the challenge is to use our ultimate human freedom, the freedom of choice, to choose how we react to that suffering and to choose how to live our lives while we are so briefly here. Love one another and do no harm. Though we rage, we choose to transcend our suffering and emerge anew.
