ASPERA TEMPORA
Savona, Italy – October 2020. The Qirsh’s third album has been released. It is a prog-rock ‘concept album’ on the theme of man’s fears. The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind, fear.
“Don’t fear hard times, the best comes from them”: the moments of fear are difficult ones; on the other hand, the difficult moments scare us, but it is from those situations that we bring out the best of ourselves
The album is released on the Lizard Records label
english translation of lyrics :
RUMORS
We were still going to school, I remember I already feared the rumors. Hiding in the bathrooms and at home, tears when I turned off the lights. Suspicion at every glance, the world around is laughing, talking, attacking, and in the morning, with the alarm clock, the night was already falling Salvation or condemnation, people's judgment, living always waiting for a single word. But the false rumors of black propaganda are growing, they run faster than reason and than Christian piety. You should never run away, but you risk going crazy. Shame and fear have planted a seed of hate, Now, there is only a little unnecessary hatred left. When we were children, we played the ‘wireless telephone’, the whispered words began to turn, and change. Imagination flies, from peasant times, to soldiers at war. Fairy tales are always accepted, there are spies, good guys, and those who bring bad luck. Even the Saints in History had those enemies: the voices. We were still going to school, but I remember you one by one, tremble! I will find you even after the years, and night will fall over you
AER GRAVIS
Beyond the return point the heart slows down, pushes and presses, unexplainably alive and strong until just before, but it stops at the sight of the immense empty space, one more rung and the step trembles trembles trembles and surrenders to this force that is in the air and leaves the chest airless, and the heart wants to run away in search of a protection but there is no hug which can give it comfort, and this penetrating enveloping resounding echo enters and vibrates in the bones and the head wants to burst and the thought wants to escape but you cannot breathe in this space too large too empty too high, from which you cannot escape from which you cannot return. The wall of air vibrates in the bones,stops the heart and this invasive echo too high too big, the step trembles and gives way to this overwhelming force, to this void, too big void from which you can't escape
The courage to jump I am not afraid of flying
QUEL MOMENTO
I never write if I'm at peace Why are you asking me to write you a song? I only write if there is something that makes us talk, something to release You scare me when you're in a hurry, when you ask me to communicate You scare me when you ask, when I think of that moment You will have to wait, you will need to understand Don't ask me to find time to write, to release It will be a time of change, either good or bad, I will have to shout Don't ask me Ask me that moment will never come
HURT
ANANSI
Hold on to your threads of light and shadow you deceive my heart you can consume me as slow as you like Wherever I turn I see myself in a thousand eyes a thousand hands envelop my soul and I am no longer here you look at me and laugh, I offer myself I will be the prey for my children of God Don't spare yourself the excuses consume more than the web I hold in the long goodbye
OREMUS
Night of the spirit, illness of the soul, the answer that is not there, atavistic weakness the sense of guilt, the answer that is not there, anxiety and shame, passive astonishment fear and tremor, ancestral fear, reverential fear, torment and repentance human ignorance, towards the unfathomable, the fear of evil, the answer that is not there we don't want to know if when we leave we won't be anything anymore the answer that is not there, passive devotion of degraded humanity men cancel each other at the feet of powerful gods superstition, constant compulsion, nervous obsession with contamination perpetual confession, immoral thoughts, act of contrition, sexual thoughts purification, key of martyrdom, in the name of the divine the most infamous acts a terrible being, the most fearful punishment, They observe everything, everything will be settled at the end of history At the beginning of human history, “I am Brahman” Manava itihasako suruma, “Må hum Brahmana” Kali Rudra Shiva Indra Yama Mextli Atlacamani Chimata-No-Kami Izanami Nai-No-Kami Apu! Apu Illapu! Inti! Mama Kilya! Apu Illapu Kon Pachamama Camazotz Kucumatz Balam Yurlungur Galeru Bamapama Surtur Jotunn Thor Tinia Mania Februus Tyrrhenus. Mei fratres, oremus!
