about

"On the Heights of Despair" was inspired by the book with the same title, written by one of the most prominent philosophers of nihilism - Emil Cioran. The dark, heavy and eerie atmosphere is interwined with the soothing yet cruel cathartic moment. The song expresses the loathing of the passing time but also shows the dimmed fire of hope in one's mundane existence, what is perfectly connected with the full concept of "Ephemeris".

lyrics

I roam on the heights of despair
Where no other men can be
Looking through the eyes of the death
On the eyes of beholder
Flashing colours resonate in my brain
Cold air leaves no place

Breathe the air once so pure
In which deepest voids aren't somber
The gallows on the roof of the world
Have seen the farthest of the stars
Drowned in human defeat
Again and again and again

On these summits I am born again
Like phoenix in flames then phoenix in flight
Later I will turn into ash
Scattered into the sands of time

And every life has its own grief
And it will depart in fountains of spit
A new dawn arises
And a new end
Will come again

Heart that hit million times
For which deepest voids weren't somber
The gallows on the roof of the world
Have seen the farthest of the stars
Drowned in human defeat
Again and again and again
And again
